The Night the Porch Light Stayed Off
from Mothlight — Fexingo Horror Hosted by Fexingo
Luna drives a back road near Haverton, Iowa, one humid August night in 2017. Her headlights catch a woman standing in a field of soybeans, barefoot, wearing a white nightgown. The woman doesn't blink. She points toward a farmhouse with all its windows dark. Luna stops. She knows better. But the woman's hand is trembling. And the house—the house has a door that's open just a crack. Inside, the air feels wrong, like it's been breathed too many times. There's a rocking chair rocking on its own. A photograph on the mantel shows a family of three, but the daughter's face has been scratched out. And then the phone rings. It rings and rings, and Luna realizes the cord is cut. This is a story about the things that wait for you to come inside. About a woman named Cora who has been waiting a long time. And about what happens when you finally answer a call that was never meant for you. #Mothlight #HavertonIowa #MidwestGothic #WomanInWhite #FarmhouseHorror #AugustNight #SoybeanField #PhoneCall #RockingChair #ScratchedPhotograph #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StandaloneEpisode #RuralHorror #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #Unsettling #MidwestHorror #RuralNoir Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
