The Swing on Harwood Lane
from Letters to the Night Desk — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
October 1998. A woman named Corinne calls into a late-night radio show to tell me about the tire swing in her backyard—the one that sways on windless nights, facing the window of her daughter's empty room. She lives at the dead end of Harwood Lane in a town called Millford, where the leaves don't fall right and the porch light flickers even when the bulb is new. She says it started three weeks after they moved in, after the realtor told them the previous owners left in a hurry. The swing moves like someone is sitting on it, but when she looks, there's only the shape of the air. And then she tells me about the sound—the creak of the rope, the whisper of the rubber against the grass. She asks me if I believe in echoes that outlast the people who made them. I didn't know what to say. This episode is her voice, and mine, and the space between us on a night when the signal kept breaking up. #LettersToTheNightDesk #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TireSwing #HarwoodLane #Millford #October1998 #LateNightRadio #EmptyRoom #CreakingRope #WindlessNight #ResidualHaunting #Echoes #Grief #ChildLoss #Unsettling #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #EpistolaryHorror #SycamoreRidge Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
