The Hangman's Tree on Hemlock Lane
from Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 1987, Luna's cousin Ellie moved to the small town of Raven's Fall, Vermont, chasing a fresh start. But the house she rented came with a secret: a massive old oak tree in the backyard, its branches scarred with rope burns and its roots tangled with rusted shackles. Local legend said it was the Hangman's Tree, a relic from the town's grim past, but Ellie dismissed it as superstition—until she began hearing the creak of rope at night, finding nooses neatly coiled on her porch, and catching glimpses of a figure standing motionless beneath the leaves. Luna visits Ellie after a frantic phone call, hoping to help, but what she finds in the tree's shadow changes her understanding of history, memory, and the weight of unfinished business. This is a story about the places we inherit, the stories we refuse to believe, and the kind of patience that outlasts a human lifetime. #BoundInBlack #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HangmansTree #HemlockLane #RavensFallVermont #EllieCoyle #TheOakTree #OldRopeBurns #Autumn1987 #SmallTownSecrets #UnfinishedBusiness #LunaNarrates #AtmosphericHorror #HauntedTree #CreakingRope #Noose #StandaloneEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
