The Holly at Halford Crossing

Christmas Eve, 1998. A young woman driving home from her shift at the all-night diner in Halford, Vermont, takes a shortcut she's taken a hundred times—Halford Crossing, the old covered bridge that connects the county road to the hollow. But tonight the bridge is different. There's a sprig of holly nailed to the beam, and a man standing in the middle, waiting. He doesn't move. He doesn't speak. But when she stops, he points to the ice below. Luna tells the story of a promise she made that night, and why she still leaves a sprig of holly at the bridge every Christmas Eve, twenty-six years later. A quiet, frozen encounter with something that waits at the threshold between years. #HalfordVermont #Holly #CoveredBridge #ChristmasEve1998 #Threshold #Promise #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #FrozenRiver #SprintOfHolly #WinterSolstice #SmallTownHorror #NightShift #BridgeCrossing #Ice #SilentFigure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
