The Pig at Parson's Gate
from Holler Tales — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
October 1987. A back road in the tobacco country just south of Danville, Virginia. Luna's great-uncle told her a story one cold night about a pig that kept showing up at a gate it couldn't have opened. A farmer named Hollis Parson lost his wife to the flu in '52 and spent the next thirty years talking to the woods. The pig came after she died. It would stand at the gate at dusk, not moving, just watching the house. Hollis never fed it. He never shooed it either. He said the pig had her eyes. One night he tried to follow it into the treeline and what he found there changed the way he looked at every locked gate and every silence between fields. Luna tells this one with the weight of family memory, the kind that gets passed down not to warn you but to remind you that some doors were never meant to keep things out. #HollerTales #AppalachianHorror #DanvilleVirginia #PigAtParsonsGate #HollisParson #October1987 #TobaccoCountry #BackRoad #Gate #Absence #Grief #Silence #FamilyStory #GreatUncle #TheWoods #Dusk #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
