The Well at Anson's Bend
from The Lonely Plains — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
July 1894. A young woman named Cora Anson steps off the stagecoach at a crossroads settlement in the Nebraska Sandhills—a place called Anson's Bend, named after a grandfather she never met. She has come to claim a homestead left to her in a will, but the locals are wary. No one lives at the Bend for long, they say. Something about the well. Cora is practical, stubborn, not given to superstition. But the well has its own gravity. At night, she hears the rope creak, the bucket rise on its own. And what comes up from that dark water is not water. This is a story about inheritance, silence, and the things that wait at the bottom of a family name. #AnsonBend #NebraskaSandhills #TheWell #CoraAnson #HomesteadHorror #PrairieUnsettled #PrairieDark #WellWater #FamilyCurse #Inheritance #1890s #LunaReads #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarration #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
