The Night the Cradle Rocked in the Attic of the Croft House
from Plague Doctor's Round — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the winter of 1998, Luna's great-aunt Maeve called her to the old Croft house in Shady Grove, Tennessee. Maeve had been hearing something in the attic—a rhythmic creak, like a rocking chair or a cradle, that started each night at exactly 11:47 PM and stopped precisely at 2:13 AM. She was ninety-two, sharp as a tack, and not given to imagining things. Luna spent three nights in that cold, dusty attic with nothing but a tape recorder and a kerosene lamp. What she recorded isn't something she can explain, but it made her understand why Maeve never had children, and why she never once set foot in that attic after Luna left. This is a story about the weight of family secrets, the sound of something that should not move on its own, and the way a house can remember what the people inside it try to forget. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PlagueDoctorsRound #CroftHouse #ShadyGroveTennessee #AtticCradle #MaeveCroft #FamilySecrets #RockingCradle #Winter1998 #LunaStory #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #Unresolved #HauntingSound #TennesseeWinter #GenerationalTrauma Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
