The Lockkeeper of Blackwater Dam
from Ten Fathoms — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
On a fog-shrouded dawn in November 1987, Luna motored into the slack water above Blackwater Dam, a structure that had stood abandoned since the Corps decommissioned it in '72. She had been hired by a retired engineer named Hollis Webb to record the dam's sounds before it was slated for demolition — a strange request, but the money was good. Over three days, she learned that the dam had been built on top of a town that was never meant to be flooded, and that something still waited in the deep lock chamber. Hollis didn't tell her about the night watchman who never left his post, or the light that still glowed behind the water-stained windows of the control room. By the third night, Luna understood why the dam had to fall — and why some things should never be recorded on tape. She has the tapes still. She doesn't play them. #BlackwaterDam #HollisWebb #TheLockkeeper #FogDawn #November1987 #AbandonedDam #FloodedTown #LockChamber #RecordedSounds #NightWatchman #ControlRoomLight #UnderwaterBell #TapeRecorder #Drowning #EchoLocator #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TenFathoms Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
