The Night the Surveyor Found the Old Road Near Pembroke

from The Lantern Anthology — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

In the autumn of 2007, a county surveyor named Arthur Crandall was mapping an undeveloped tract of woods outside Pembroke, Kentucky, when his GPS led him to a road that did not appear on any record. It was a narrow asphalt lane, recently paved, with fresh guardrails and a sign reading 'County Line Road' — but the county line was two miles east, and the road ended at a locked gate that opened onto nothing. Luna recounts the story Arthur told her over coffee at a diner in Paducah: how the road kept appearing on different days in different places, how the asphalt was always warm to the touch no matter the weather, and how, on his last survey, he met a woman in a yellow raincoat who asked him for directions to a town that had been underwater since 1937. A quiet, aching story about the roads we are not meant to find. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Luna #TheLanternAnthology #PembrokeKentucky #Surveyor #OldRoad #CountyLineRoad #AsphaltWarm #YellowRaincoat #LostTown #1937Flood #GPSGlitch #Autumn2007 #RoadThatShouldntExist #PaducahDiner #ArthurCrandall #VanishedPlaces Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
