The Shrine at the Abandoned Mining Camp

Episode 17 of Saints of the Salt Flats. Luna remembers a night in late October 2017, when she found a handwritten sign tacked to a telephone pole outside a diner in Tonopah, Nevada. It read: 'Shrine-keeper wanted. Last one left. Inquire at the old camp on Route 6.' She drove east into the rain, past the turnoff for the hot springs, until the road turned to gravel and the gravel turned to mud. The camp had been dead since the 1950s—row houses with collapsed roofs, a general store with no windows, and a single white shrine at the center of the main street. But someone was still living there. A woman named Cora, who kept the candles lit. Who said she'd been waiting for someone to take over. Who showed Luna the names carved into the base of the shrine—and the one name that was still wet, still bleeding, still warm. #SaintsOfTheSaltFlats #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LunaNarrates #TonopahNevada #Route6 #AbandonedMiningCamp #ShrineKeeper #Cora #OctoberRain #CarvedNames #WetInk #BleedingStone #GhostTown #DesertHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SolitaryEncounter Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
