The Hairbrush of Sweet Gum Hollow

This is the story of a hairbrush that belonged to my great-grandmother, and the night I learned why my mother kept it locked in a cedar chest in the attic. It happened in Sweet Gum Hollow, Alabama, in the autumn of 2019, during a two-week visit to my grandmother's farmhouse. The brush was rosewood with silver bristles, and whenever I touched it, I saw a woman in a green dress standing at the edge of the pecan grove. Not a ghost, exactly—something older, something that had been waiting for someone to pick up that brush and remember her. The story does not end with horror in the usual sense. It ends with me sitting on the porch steps at 3 a.m., watching the tree line, understanding that some things are better left inside their boxes. I have not opened that cedar chest since. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Heirloom #Hairbrush #SweetGumHollow #Alabama #CedarChest #PecanGrove #GreenDress #FamilyCurse #Antique #GenerationalTrauma #SmallTownHorror #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #Luna #SoloNarration #SouthernGothic Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
