The Piano at the End of Hemlock Lane
from Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the fall of 1992, on a dead-end road outside of Shiloh, Indiana, a woman named Ellen Hartley bought an upright piano at a foreclosure auction for forty dollars. It was out of tune, scratched, and missing three keys... but it played. Every night, at exactly 11:37 PM, it would play a single song on its own — a slow, minor-key waltz that Ellen had never heard before. She tried everything: unplugging the lamp near it, covering the keys, even calling in a priest. Nothing stopped the music. But the worst part wasn't the playing itself. It was what happened when she tried to find out who had owned the piano before her — a family named Covington, who had lived on Hemlock Lane sixty years ago, and whose youngest daughter, Alice, had been locked in a root cellar for playing the piano after midnight. This episode is a quiet, creeping ghost story about inherited grief, a house that remembers, and the sound of a song that was never meant to be heard again. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Piano #GhostStory #HemlockLane #ShilohIndiana #AliceCovington #EllenHartley #Foreclosure #UprightPiano #MidnightMusic #RootCellar #InheritedGrief #CreepingDread #SmallTownHorror #Atmospheric #1992 #CovingtonHouse Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
