The Tower at Miller's Bend

Luna reads a letter from a retired dispatcher in Des Moines County, Iowa, about a fire lookout tower in Miller's Bend that started answering calls no one had placed. The tower sat on a limestone ridge above the Mississippi, staffed by one man per shift. The dispatcher's friend worked a night in early October 1989 and logged a conversation with someone on the other end of the radio who knew things nobody else could. The letter describes what was said, what the voice sounded like when it started to change, and the last thing the friend heard before he climbed down and never went back. The tower is still there, but the county stopped staffing it after that year. Luna reads the letter with the station lights off, and at the end she mentions that the return address on the envelope was a P.O. box that hasn't been active since 1993. #LettersToTheNightDesk #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #FireLookoutTower #MillerBend #DesMoinesCounty #Iowa #October1989 #RadioVoices #Dispatchers #UnsettlingCalls #LimestoneRidge #MississippiRiver #RetiredStory #TowerAtNight #WhatCallsBack #LunaReads #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
