The Night the Swallows Left Easton
from The Deep Quiet — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the summer of 1987, the town of Easton, Vermont, lost its birds. Not gradually—over three nights every swallow, sparrow, and wren simply vanished. Luna’s uncle, a retired ornithologist named Frank Moreau, was the only one who thought to follow them. This is the story of what he found in the abandoned silo north of town, where the air hummed at a frequency no bird should make, and where the walls were lined with nests made not of twigs but of human hair. Luna pieces together his final field notes, his unanswered phone calls, and the single photograph he left behind—a picture of the sky, taken at midnight, filled with shapes that were not birds. A quiet, devastating story about silence, obsession, and the things we choose not to see. #EastonVermont #TheSwallowsLeft #FrankMoreau #Silo #FieldNotes #MissingBirds #Summer1987 #Ornithology #Abandoned #HummingSound #Nests #HumanHair #Photograph #MidnightSky #Silence #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheDeepQuiet Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
