The Twelfth Step of Bayou St. John
from Bayou After Dark — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the winter of 1998, Luna's cousin Delphine bought a crumbling Creole cottage on Bayou St John, just outside New Orleans. The house had a peculiar staircase—twelve steps leading to the second floor, with a thirteenth step at the top that wasn't there. Delphine started hearing footsteps at night, counting them. One, two, three... up to twelve. Then a pause. Then a thirteenth step that never landed. Luna spent a week in that house, and what she learned about the step that isn't there will make you check every staircase you climb. A slow-dawning story about grief, unfinished business, and the spaces between what we see and what we count. #BayouStJohn #CreoleCottage #TheThirteenthStep #1998Winter #Delphine #FootstepsAtNight #UnfinishedBusiness #BayouAfterDark #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Louisiana #Staircase #Counting #Grief #HauntedHouse #RealGhostStory #LunaNarrates #SouthernGothic #SwampHorror #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
