The Year They Changed the Highways

from Whatever Walks the Pines — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo

In the summer of 1997, the town of Condon, Oregon, redrew its county road map. Nothing unusual—just a routine update to correct a decade of mislabeling. But when field surveyors cross-referenced the new numbers against the old ones, they found a road that shouldn't have existed: a dead-end gravel lane named on no deed, shown on no plat, but still maintained—graded, graveled, signed—by someone. The county sent a pair of interns to document it. They came back white-faced, saying the road ended at a house that had no door, only windows. And someone was inside, watching. Luna talks to the only one of those interns who still lives in town—a man named Bill Rayburn, who now refuses to drive past sunset. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PacificNorthwest #CondonOregon #LostHighways #DeadEndRoad #Summer1997 #CountySurvey #RoadThatShouldntExist #BillRayburn #RedDoorHouse #WindowsOnly #Watching #NoStoriesHere #GravelRoad #DepartmentOfTransportation #PineMountain #DontStopDontLook Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
