The Night the Lights Stayed On at the Midway Motel
from The Deep Quiet — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 1983, a man named Arthur Doyle checked into the Midway Motel outside Denton, Ohio, planning to drive straight through to Chicago. But the motel's neon vacancy sign flickered in a way that made him pull over, and the night clerk's smile was a little too wide. What Arthur found in room 17—a television that played only static, a bathroom mirror that showed a different room, and a hallway that stretched longer each time he walked it—was not a story he told until years later, when he finally understood that some places don't let you leave, even after you check out. This is the story of the night the lights stayed on at the Midway Motel, and the man who learned that vacancy means something different at three in the morning. #MidwayMotel #DentonOhio #Room17 #ArthurDoyle #MotelHorror #NeonSign #Static #MirrorHorror #Hallway #1983 #Autumn #CheckIn #NeverLeft #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #TheDeepQuiet #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
