The Volunteer Firewatch at Ponderosa Peak

from Bedtime for the Brave — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

Luna recalls the summer of 2007 when she took a volunteer firewatch shift at Ponderosa Peak in eastern Oregon. The tower overlooked miles of dry pine and scrub, and the only company was an old man named Emmett who ran the lookout before her. On the third night, the radio started picking up a signal from a tower that had been abandoned for forty years. The voice on the other end was calm, friendly, and knew things about her it shouldn't have. What Emmett told her afterward, and what she saw in the valley below, has stayed with her ever since. This episode is a slow-burn story about isolation, the things that watch from the dark, and the thin line between duty and obsession. No jump scares, no gore—just the quiet hum of a radio and the feeling that someone is listening. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BedtimeForTheBrave #PonderosaPeak #Firewatch #Oregon #RadioSignal #AbandonedTower #Isolation #Emmett #Summer2007 #MountainHorror #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #NightShift #Lookout #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
