The Paper Girl at the Overpass on Route 9
from Streetlight Burials — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 2011, Luna took a wrong turn near the town of Wisp Hollow, Ohio, and found herself parked under the derelict overpass on Route 9. A girl in a yellow raincoat was standing on the gravel shoulder, holding a stack of newspapers that looked decades old. Luna stopped to ask for directions, but the girl kept offering her a paper—a paper that carried a headline from a date that hadn't come yet, about a flood that would wipe the town off the map in six months. The girl's name was Margot. She had died on that same overpass in 1987, waiting for a ride that never came. Luna took the paper and drove away, but when she looked in the rearview, the girl was still standing there, and her mouth was moving, spelling out a number—a countdown. Every night since, Luna has dreamed of water rising through the floorboards of her car, and the girl's hand pressing a wet newspaper against the glass. She has six months left, or maybe Margot does. The paper is still on the passenger seat, and the ink is starting to bleed. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StreetlightBurials #WispHollow #Route9 #Margot #Overpass #Newspaper #Flood #Countdown #YellowRaincoat #PhantomHitchhiker #Ohio #Autumn2011 #Premonition #Cycle #GhostStory #AtmosphericHorror #UrbanHorror #AlleywayTales Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
