The Lights Along Switchback Ridge

from Whatever Walks the Pines — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

On a rain-heavy September night in 2019, Luna drives a borrowed pickup truck over Switchback Ridge, a crooked mountain road outside the dying timber town of Lydell, Oregon. The radio dies. The engine falters. And then she sees the lights: a procession of bobbing lanterns carried uphill through the underbrush by figures that do not walk like anything human. A local named Vernon Teller — the only other person she meets on the road — tries to warn her away with a story he has never told anyone. But some warnings come too late, and some roads only let you pass if you promise to forget what you saw. An intimate, slow-burn horror about witness and silence, set in the wet dark of the Cascade foothills. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SwitchbackRidge #LydellOregon #CascadeFoothills #LanternProcession #VernonTeller #DeadTruck #SeptemberRain #ForestHorror #WhatWalksThePines #PacificNorthwest #PineGapRoad #LoneTraveler #Witness #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #LunaNarrates #PacificNorthwestHorror #CryptidStories Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
