The Night They Paved Potters Field
from The Hum at Night — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In October 2019, Luna's cousin Callie bought a foreclosed house on the edge of Potters Field, Texas — a town so small the gas station doubles as the post office. The property came with a backyard shed full of rusted tools and a concrete slab stained darker than the rest. Neighbors said the previous owner, a widower named Emmett Hollis, dug holes in the yard every full moon. Callie thought they were exaggerating. Then she found his journal in the attic, filled with hand-drawn maps of the root cellar beneath the slab. By the third week, she started hearing the scraping sound at night — like a shovel hitting packed earth, somewhere deep underground. This is the story of what Luna saw when she drove down to help Callie pack, and why that stretch of Highway 29 still makes her change lanes even in broad daylight. #PottersField #Texas #EmmettHollis #RootCellar #ConcreteSlab #FullMoon #ScrapingSound #CousinCallie #ForeclosedHouse #Journal #HandDrawnMaps #Highway29 #Digging #Underground #Unsettling #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AtmosphericHorror #TheHumAtNight #AcousticHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
