The Letters She Left Behind

from Things in the Attic — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

In the summer of 1987, a woman named Clara Moreau vanished from her farmhouse outside the small town of Meridian, Nebraska. No one found her for three weeks. When the sheriff finally broke down the door, the house was empty — no body, no struggle, no sign of her. But in the attic, sealed inside a cedar trunk, they found forty-three letters. Each one was addressed to a person Clara had never met. Each one described a death that hadn't happened yet. A local reporter named Ellie Rathman inherited the case when her editor assigned her a 'missing old lady' fluff piece. She didn't expect the letters to be real. She didn't expect the names to match. And she certainly didn't expect to find her own name on the final letter, dated two weeks after Clara went missing. I knew Ellie. I'm the one who talked her out of burning that trunk. And now I'm the one who reads them. #ThingsInTheAttic #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #MissingWoman #Letters #Nebraska #Meridian #ClaraMoreau #CedarTrunk #EllieRathman #Premonition #SmallTown #FalseSpring #1987 #Mothball #Prophetic #TrueCrimeAdjacent #FoundDocuments #AtticHorror #FoundObjects Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
