The Playground at Dusk on Banyon Street

It was October of 2009, and I was housesitting for the Hendricks family on Banyon Street in Harlow, Ohio. Their son had a swingset in the backyard, and I could see it from the kitchen window. The first night, I heard the chains creak at 11:47 PM. The second night, I saw a silhouette on the swing — a child, maybe, but not one I recognized. By the third night, I was standing at the back door, watching the swing move on its own, and I realized that the child who used to live there, years before, had never really left. I didn't run. I didn't call anyone. I just watched, because that's what you do when you're too tired to pretend anymore. This is a story about a ghost, but not the kind you see in movies. It's the kind that sits next to you on a swing and asks, in a voice like gravel, why you're sitting in their spot. #StaticLullaby #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HarlowOhio #BanyonStreet #Swingset #GhostChild #PlaygroundAtDusk #October2009 #Housesitting #SuburbanHorror #BackyardGhost #MidnightCreaking #SwingChains #NeighborhoodStories #LunaNarrates #SoloHorror #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
