The Night the Phones Died on Burkitt Road
from The Backup Drive — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In October 2009, the landlines in a four-block stretch of Burkitt Road, outside Demopolis, Alabama, started ringing at exactly 3:17 a.m. — and never stopped. Luna had a cousin who lived there, a woman named Cora who kept a landline 'for emergencies.' When Luna stayed over one sleepless weekend, she learned that the calls weren't from the phone company. They weren't from anyone living. The voice on the other end was always the same: a child asking for its mother. But the address it gave — 1428 Burkitt Road — didn't exist. And the calls were getting closer. A quiet, slow-burn episode about the difference between a wrong number and a wrong world. Recorded on a flip phone in a dark kitchen at 3:17 a.m. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LunaNarrates #SoloHorror #TheBackupDrive #BurkittRoad #DemopolisAlabama #LandlineHorror #WrongNumber #3amCalls #CoraBurkett #October2009 #TelephoneHorror #SmallTownHorror #SignalHorror #CandlelightTales #MidnightConfessions #UnansweredCalls Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
