The Watcher in the Pines
from Holler Tales — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 2019, Luna spent three nights at a friend's cabin near the ghost town of Pinedale, West Virginia. The first night was uneventful. The second night, she saw a figure standing motionless at the tree line—a tall, thin man in a wide-brimmed hat, watching her cabin. The third night, the figure was closer, and she heard a voice that wasn't her own. This is a story about the kind of attention you don't want, the kind that follows you home. It takes place in a valley where the cell service drops out and the only noise is the wind through the pines. No one in Pinedale talks about the watcher, but every cabin has a shotgun by the door and salt on the windowsills. By the time Luna left, she understood why. She also understood that the watcher doesn't stay in Pinedale. It follows. And it's patient. #HollerTales #TheWatcherInThePines #AppalachianHorror #WestVirginia #GhostTown #CabinInTheWoods #Autumn #2019 #Pinedale #TallThinFigure #WideBrimmedHat #Watcher #SurveillanceHorror #Unsettling #Atmospheric #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Fiction #FolkHorror #MountainStories Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
