The Man Who Collected Voices at the Water Tower
from Dead Zone Radio — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
It was the summer of 2008, and I was passing through a town that never made it onto any map. Somewhere off Route 23, past a sign that read 'Clement Falls — Pop. 400' but felt like less, I found a water tower painted with a name that wasn't the town's. The man who lived at its base collected voices on cassette tapes. He didn't record conversations. He captured the sounds people made when they were alone, when they thought no one was listening. I stayed because he offered me coffee and a seat in a room lined with shelves of labeled tapes. He told me he was preserving something — the real moments, the ones people hide. But as the night wore on, I heard something through the walls. A voice I knew. A voice that wasn't supposed to be on any tape. This is the story of what I found in Clement Falls, and why I still haven't left. #ClementFalls #Route23 #WaterTower #CassetteTapes #CollectedVoices #Summer2008 #AbandonedTown #TheListener #Moths #TinCeiling #Porchlight #DustDevils #FamiliarVoice #NeverLeft #DeadZoneRadio #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
