The Orchard at Nightfall Ridge
from Hollow Country — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Deep in the hills outside Abingdon, Virginia, there's a family-run apple orchard that's been around since the 1940s. Every autumn, locals come for the honeycrisps and the cider donuts. But nobody talks about the rows of trees at the very back, the ones planted in perfect circles that never bear fruit. Last October, I met a woman named Evelyn who told me why her grandfather stopped going past the old stone wall after dark. She showed me the photographs he took in 1957, and the single word he wrote on the back of each one before he died. This is the story of what grows when you plant something in ground that remembers too much. And what happens when the trees start to call back. #HollowCountry #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #NightfallRidgeOrchard #AbingdonVirginia #Evelyn #AppleTrees #OldStoneWall #1957 #Photographs #BloodOrchards #PlantingSecrets #HarvestMoon #FamilyCurse #TheTreesAreListening #AutumnHorror #RuralHorror #AppalachianHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
