The Night the Phone Booth Glowed at the Washateria on Van Buren
from The Lantern Anthology — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the fall of 2019, a woman named Cora moved into a second-floor apartment above a closed-down washateria in a town called Mercer. The phone booth out front had been dead for years — no dial tone, no receiver on the cradle. But at 2:47 every morning, the fluorescent light inside flickered on. Cora watched it for three nights from her window before she finally went down to see who was calling. She never told anyone what she heard, but she stopped sleeping after that, and six months later she was gone. A quiet story about a ringing phone with nobody on the other end, and the thing that answered anyway. Recorded live from the floor of the attic, lantern light pooling on the pages of a worn-out notebook. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration #TheLanternAnthology #PhoneBoothHorror #MercerArkansas #Washateria #VanBurenStreet #DisconnectedLine #TheNightThePhoneRang #Cora #SmallTownHorror #AtmosphericHorror #Luna #NoDialTone #2:47AM #TheReceiver #AnthologyEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
