The Twelfth Step at Shrine Mesa

At the foot of Shrine Mesa, just outside the dying town of Punto Blanco, New Mexico, there is a staircase carved into the rock. Twelve steps. No more, no less. Locals say they were built by a hermit who died fifty years ago—but the steps don't match any known tool marks. I went there last October, during the dry season, when the wind scrapes the mesa clean. I met a man named Silas who had been climbing those steps every night for three weeks. He told me what he found at the top. He told me what followed him down. This is a story about repetition—about doing the same thing over and over until it changes. And about the one step you can never count. #ShrineMesa #PuntoBlanco #NewMexico #TwelveSteps #Silas #CoyoteLamp #DrySeason #October #SaltFlatsHorror #Staircase #Hermit #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #SaintsOfTheSaltFlats #LunaNarrates #SlowBurn #Unresolved #SaltFlatHorror #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
