The Mannequin in the Window of Dorcas's Dress Shop
from Letters to the Night Desk — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 2017, Luna's night shift at a low-power radio station in Mercer, Ohio, was interrupted by a letter from a shopkeeper named Evelyn Croft. Evelyn ran a bridal and formalwear shop on Main Street—Dorcas's Dress Shop—that had been in her family since 1948. For months, she noticed something wrong with the mannequin in the front window. Not the pose. Not the dress. The eyes. They seemed to track her. And when she covered the window at night, she heard breathing from inside the display. Luna visits the shop in the off-season, stays late to see for herself, and discovers the mannequin isn't a mannequin—not anymore. It's wearing a wedding dress that belonged to a woman who vanished in 1953, the night before her wedding. And the face is beginning to change. #LettersToTheNightDesk #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #MercerOhio #DorcasDressShop #MannequinHorror #BridalShop #WeddingDress #VanishedWoman #1953 #WindowDisplay #SmallTownHorror #AtmosphericHorror #EvelynCroft #LunaNarrates #SoloNarrated #AnthologyHorror #SlowBurnHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
