Cold Wake — Fexingo Horror

Cold Wake is a maritime horror anthology where each episode is a self-contained voyage into the black Atlantic. Luna stands on the deck of a North Atlantic trawler, the sodium light casting long shadows as she tells stories of fishermen who haul up things that should never be caught — sentient knots of net, voices from the deep that answer questions no one asked, and wrecks that refuse to stay on the seafloor. The register is salt-crusted and whispered: the slow creak of a hull, the distant foghorn, the shock of cold water on skin. These are tales of isolation, of men who have seen too much darkness beyond the horizon, of creatures that wear the shape of scavenged souls. Every episode is a standalone story, but all are bound by the same icy ocean and Luna's steady, intimate narration — as if she's beside you in the dark, pointing a trembling finger at something just out of sight. There is no rescue here, only the tide pulling you under.#MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror #OceanHorror #Nort

    The Woman Who Fed the Light at Peeper's Cove

    August 1997. A woman named Elara rents a cottage on the Maine coast, two miles from the nearest town. Every night she walks to the cove with a lantern and a bucket of eels. The locals tell her the light is for the dead. She doesn't believe them — until she meets the figure waiting on the rocks. A story about hunger, loneliness, and the price of keeping something alive. Luna tells it from the deck of a trawler, the sea dark and endless below. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #MaineCoast #PeeperCove #LanternRitual #NightFeeding #Elara #LighthouseKeeperGhost #SlowBurnHorror #AtmosphericTerror #SeaHorror #FolkloreHorror #WomanAlone #Summer1997 #Eels #RockboundCoast #WhatWattsTheTide Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Haunted the Buoy at Ragged Point

    February 2023, at the far end of Ragged Point jetty where the Coast Guard buoy keeper works alone. Luna met a woman who came every night to sit by the channel marker — the one that had been ringing for weeks without wind. The woman told her about the boy she lost to the reef twelve years ago, and about the sound that started the night his body was found. Luna sat with her until the buoy stopped ringing at exactly 3:47 AM. Now she can't stop thinking about that silence — and what it means that the buoy has been silent every night since, but the woman still comes. #RaggedPoint #CoastGuardBuoy #ChannelMarker #TheRingWithoutWind #BoyLostToTheReef #February2023 #NorthAtlantic #BuoyKeeper #MourningMother #GriefHorror #SoundThatStopped #SilenceAfter #LunaNarrates #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #SlowBurnHorror #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Found the Record in the Attic

    Hutto, Texas. 1979. A woman named Vera inherits her uncle's farmhouse and finds a sealed box in the attic containing a single reel-to-reel tape labeled 'DEER CREEK SETTLEMENT 1888.' She borrows a player from the local library — a man named Tinsley who warns her not to listen alone. She does. The recording begins with a fiddle and a woman singing. Then the music stops. What follows is a slow, unbroken account of a town that built itself around a promise made to something that came up from the creek. Vera plays it three times. By the third night, she starts hearing the creek from her own yard — though the nearest water is two miles away. Luna tells the story of a woman who found a voice that had been waiting seventy years for someone to let it out again. Not a ghost story. A record. A truth. And a question Vera asked herself just before she stopped answering the phone: What if the singing was never meant to be heard by human ears? #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheWomanWhoFoundTheRecordInTheAttic #VeraCobb #HuttoTexas #DeerCreekSettlement #ReelToReel #TapeRecording #1888 #FolkSong #SomethingFromTheCreek #PromiseKept #Tinsley #AtticBox #1979 #SleepDelayed #LunaNarrates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Walked the Bluff at Three Fathom Bend

    October 1992. A bend in the Tennessee River so sharp the channel markers don't align, and a night so still the fog hung in the branches like wet linen. Luna met a woman named Cora at the general store outside Three Fathom Bend, who told her about the bluff walk she took every night at three in the morning — the same hour her husband's dredge boat went down forty-three years ago. Cora didn't walk for exercise or sleep. She walked because something walked with her, something that had been waiting on that ridge since before the river was charted, and it had been teaching her to see in a way that made the light feel like a lie. This is the story of what Cora showed Luna at the edge of the drop-off, and what Luna heard in the static between the peeper frogs. #ThreeFathomBend #TennesseeRiver #Cora #bluff #fog #dredge #rivercurrent #nightwalking #peeperfrogs #generallestore #October1992 #disappearancelore #sodiumlamp #undertow #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Found the Bell in the Ice

    February 2023. The Bering Sea, just south of Saint George. Luna's crew hauls a long-lost bell from a net — bronze, barnacle-caked, engraved with a name that shouldn't exist. The ship it came from sank seventy years ago, but the bell still rings on still nights. Luna meets an old woman in Unalaska who knows the story: a bride married to the sea, a winter gale, a promise broken. Every time the bell tolls, someone on the water is called home. Luna leaves it on a dock, but the ringing follows her. An episode about what the sea takes and what it won't give back. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #BeringSea #SaintGeorgeIsland #Unalaska #ShipBell #LostFishingVessel #DrownedBride #IceFog #BronzeBell #February2023 #HauntedWater #MaritimeLegend #SoloHorror #AtmosphericHorror #FishingBoat #TheWomanWho Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Carried the Light to Whitson Head

    April 1997, four miles off Whitson Head on the Maine coast. I was on a friend's lobster boat when we found a rowboat adrift with a man who had no memory of how he got there. He wore a brass medallion with a lighthouse etched into it—one that had been decommissioned and locked for twenty years. What he said about the keeper's final night, and what he did with the lantern he carried, still makes me check the horizon before I turn out my own lights. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #WhitsonHead #Lighthouse #MaineCoast #Rowboat #BrassMedallion #Lantern #April1997 #Fog #SeaStory #Keeper #MemoryLoss #HorrorStory #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarrated #PodcastHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Drank from the Eel River

    Luna sits on the wet deck of a trawler in the black North Atlantic, smoking a cigarette she doesn't want, and tells the story of the summer she spent at her uncle's cabin on the Eel River in northern Maine. That was the summer of the drought, when the river shrank to a trickle and the fish died in the shallows. That was the summer the old man came down to the river every night with a mason jar, knelt in the mud, and drank from a pool that shouldn't have been there. Luna watched him from the porch. She never spoke to him. She never saw his face. But she heard him whisper something into that water every night, and when the rains finally came, the river rose, and the pool was gone, and so was he. A quiet, waterlogged memory that settles into bone like cold. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #EelRiver #Maine #Drought #RiverHorror #Puddle #MasonJar #OldMan #Whispering #WaterMemory #Night #Summer #UncleCabin #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #QuietDread Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Heard the Hull Sing at Porthallow

    In the winter of 2009, Luna's cousin Elias took a short-term berth on the Nancy M, a fifty-year-old trawler out of Porthallow, Maine — a harbor so small the road ends before the dock. The boat was haunted before he stepped aboard: a missing captain, a snapped warp, a single boot found floating. But it was the sound that broke him — a low, metallic singing from the hull every night at two a.m., as if the keel were vibrating against something that wanted in. Elias recorded it on his phone. This is what he played for Luna, and this is what she heard before the recording cut to static and a voice that knew his name. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PorthallowMaine #NancyMTrawler #HullSinging #VoiceFromBelow #MissingCaptain #Winter2009 #SeaHorror #HauntedBoat #MaineCoast #EliasCousin #TrawlNet #DeepWater #SolitaryNarration #LunaVoice #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Heard the Cogwheel in the Frost

    Winter 1982. A rural Alabama crossroads called Bitterweed Cut. Luna's uncle worked the night maintenance shift at a cotton gin that had been shut down for years. One December night, he found the main gearbox still warm and the safety log signed in a hand he'd never seen. This is a story about machines that remember, about the men who stay on after closing, and about a name scratched into the frost on a windowpane — a name that wasn't his. No ghosts. No slamming doors. Just a cold, a long dark road, and something that kept the old gin running long after it should have stopped. #TheManWhoHeardTheCogwheelInTheFrost #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SouthernGothic #BitterweedCut #AlabamaWinter #CottonGin #IndustrialHorror #LunaNarrates #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #Winter1982 #MaintenanceShift #ScratchedNames #MachineryHorror #UncleStory #Crossroads Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Carried the Boat Ashore at Deadman's Reach

    On a frozen November night in 1991, Luna's father brought home a woman he found walking the beach at Deadman's Reach, a mile-long stretch of shale and frozen kelp north of Port Clyde, Maine. She was barefoot, dressed in a torn wool coat that smelled of cold salt and something else—something that made Luna's mother close the bedroom door. The woman carried no identification, spoke only in fragments, and held in her cupped hands a barnacle-encrusted ship's bell no bigger than a pear. Over three days, Luna watched her clean that bell with a focus that bordered on worship, until on the third night the woman walked back into the surf, leaving the bell on the kitchen table. That bell is still there, thirty years later, in Luna's childhood home, and sometimes on quiet nights she swears she can hear it ring once, from underwater. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #DeadmansReach #PortClydeMaine #ShipBell #NovemberFog #Beachwalker #LunaNarrates #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SeaHorror #MaineCoast #LostWoman #BellFromTheDeep #1991 #UnresolvedEnding Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Remembered the Drowning Light

    One night in October 2022, I met a woman on the deck of a trawler in Port Clyde, Maine. She was not a fisherman, not a tourist, not anyone with a reason to be there. She told me about the light she saw from the breakwater — a light that had drowned three times and kept coming back. She described the shape under it, the sound it made against the hull, and the promise it had whispered to her through the fog. I thought she was telling me a ghost story. But when I looked down at the coil of rope at her feet, I saw it was wet, and there was kelp braided into the strands — the same kind that grows only in water too deep for the sun to reach. She smiled at me then, and I understood she was not warning me. She was waiting for me to ask the right question. This episode is the last time I saw her face. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PortClyde #Maine #DrowningLight #Breakwater #Fog #Kelp #Trawler #Luna #ColdWake #MaritimeHorror #October #GhostStory #SoloNarrated #WomanInOilskins #TheThingBelow #PromiseInTheFog Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Held the Night Line

    Off the coast of St. Elmo, Maine, in the late autumn of 2019, Luna's uncle brought aboard a woman found clinging to a buoy line in calm seas. She wore no survival suit, no life jacket, but her palms were raw and her eyes were fixed on something beyond the horizon. Over a cup of coffee in the galley, she told Luna a story about a light she'd been following for seven years—a light that only appears when the sea is perfectly still, and only to those who have lost something beneath the surface. Luna listened as the woman described the light's color, its stillness, and the voice she heard beneath the water. By dawn, the woman was gone, leaving behind only the wet rope and a question Luna still can't shake: what happens when you finally reach the thing that's been calling you? #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #LunaNarrates #StElmoMaine #NightLine #LostAtSea #BuoyLight #GriefHorror #QuietHorror #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #NorthAtlantic #FishingBoat #Galley #Autumn #TheLightBelow #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Closed the Lighthouse for Good

    October 1987, Cape Disappointment, Washington. Luna tells the story of Evan Maddox, the last keeper of the North Head Light before the Coast Guard automated it. His final night on duty should have been routine—polish the lens, log the weather, turn over the keys. But when a fog rolled in that seemed to have weight, and a low hum started vibrating through the granite foundation, Evan realized the light wasn't just a beacon. It was a seal. And he had just broken it. This is a story about loneliness, about duty, about the things we turn off without knowing what they were holding back. It's also about a sound that Luna still hears, sometimes, when the kitchen light is off and the window is open. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #CapeDisappointment #NorthHeadLight #LighthouseHorror #PacificNorthwest #Fog #1980s #LastKeeper #CoastGuard #Automation #Loneliness #Duty #TheThingInTheFog #LunaNarrates #SoloHorror #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Watched the Shore Light

    Luna remembers a night in October 2017 on the dock of Whitemouth, Newfoundland, where she met an old fisherman named Enoch who spent every evening watching a single light on the far shore—not a house, not a buoy, but something that had been there since his grandfather's time. He told her about the night the light went out, and what came crawling up the wet rocks instead. A story about waiting, and what waits back. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #Newfoundland #Whitemouth #ShoreLight #Fisherman #Lighthouse #DeepSea #Atlantic #OctoberNight #Enoch #FalseLight #WhatLurks #QuietHorror #Atmospheric #SoloNarration #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Found the Door in the Fog

    On a fog-choked November night off the coast of Cuttyhunk, Massachusetts, Luna met a man who pulled something from the water that wasn't a fish. His name was Ellis Croft, a third-generation fisherman who had been hauling nets alone since his brother disappeared three autumns before. That night, his net snagged on something that shouldn't have been there — a door. A wooden door, hand-carved with a pattern of waves and a single word in a language no one at the docks could read. He brought it aboard, and from then on, the fog started speaking. Not in words, but in the sound of a woman humming, and the scent of salt and rot, and the feeling of being watched from just beyond the rail. Luna tells his story from memory, sitting on the damp deck of her own boat, the same fog creeping in around her as she talks. She still wonders what he found on the other side of that door. She still wonders if he ever came back. #TheManWhoFoundTheDoorInTheFog #Cuttyhunk #EllisCroft #fog #door #fishing #NorthAtlantic #foundobject #humming #disappearance #coldwake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #soloanthology #NewEngland #November #seahorror #luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Pulled the Wrong Net

    In January of 2018, off the coast of Rockland, Maine, a solo lobsterman named Cal pulled a net that shouldn't have been there. It was old, rust-stained, and marked with a license number that had been struck from the register in 1972. But the thing he found tangled inside it wasn't a trap. It was a human jawbone, still hinged, with teeth worn flat as a goat's. And when he brought it aboard, the radio started broadcasting a single frequency — a woman's voice singing the same four notes, over and over, in a language that sounded like water running over stones. This is the story of what followed Cal for the next eleven days, and what followed me after he told it. Luna, on the deck of a trawler under a sodium light, with the North Atlantic breathing beneath us. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #RocklandMaine #Lobsterman #Jawbone #OldNet #RadioStatic #FourNotes #WaterLanguage #MercyHospital #January2018 #CoastalMaine #LostAtSea #GhostFrequency #DrownedChoir #SoloNarration #LunaVoice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Stole the Night Bell

    Luna recounts a winter night in the schooner town of Eastport, Maine, where a retired lobsterman named Elias Bowen began hearing a bell that didn't exist. Not the harbor buoy, not the church steeple — a single, clear note that came from inside his own skull, every night at 2:17 AM. When he tried to silence it, the bell followed him inland, growing louder, until he finally understood what it was ringing for. A story about a sound that cannot be unheard, and the man who decided to answer it. #EastportMaine #TheNightBell #EliasBowen #MaineHorror #PhantomSound #WinterHorror #2:17AM #WhistlingBuoy #Lobsterman #RetiredFisherman #SchoonerTown #ClockTower #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror #NauticalHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Found the Thing Below the Wharf

    On a January night in Waterville, Maine, a retired fisherman named Ellis Coombs began bringing things up from the harbor floor that should not have been there. Luna tells the story of the man who found a sealed glass jar at low tide, and what happened when he opened it. It is a story about curiosity, the weight of the past, and the way certain places remember what you try to forget.

    The Man Who Listened for the Bottom

    Luna recounts a night off the coast of Cutler, Maine, in November of 2009, when a retired lobsterman named Ezra Vane kept her company on the deck of the trawler. He told her about the sound he'd been hearing for thirty years — a low, rhythmic hum from the seafloor, like something breathing. He called it the bottom song. That night, he showed her how to hear it too, and what happened after the sound stopped. A story about the weight of what lies beneath — and the silence that follows when it finally speaks. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Luna #CutlerMaine #Lobsterman #Seafloor #BottomSong #Sound #Silence #Trawler #November #2009 #EzraVane #DeepSea #Fishing #MaineCoast #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Saw the Wake Light

    Luna tells the story of a night in November 2003, when the trawler 'Evening Star' drifted dead in the water off the coast of Nantucket. The seas were glass-calm, the moon hidden behind a bank of cloud, and the only sound was the low hum of the engine room exhaust fan. That's when the wake light appeared — a cold white glow that didn't illuminate the water, but sat on the surface like a pearl on black velvet. The captain, an old fisherman named Elias Sykes, said he'd seen it before. Twice. Both times, someone died within the week. As the light circled the boat, slow and patient, Luna watched the crew's faces change. They began to whisper things they'd never told anyone. Things they'd done. Things they'd seen. The light didn't judge. It just listened. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #WakeLight #EliasSykes #EveningStar #Nantucket #November2003 #DeadCalm #WhisperedConfessions #SeaHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SoloNarrated #LunaReads #GhostStory #MaritimeMystery #OneNightEncounter Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Drowned on the Night Shift

    Luna recounts a grim discovery aboard the trawler Mary Ellen one December night off the coast of Gray Harbor. The crew's youngest hand, Danny, was found tangled in the net — but his body was warm, his lungs full of fresh water, and the radio had been playing his favorite song on a loop. As Luna tries to make sense of it, she learns that Danny had been hearing a woman's voice over the ship's intercom for weeks, a voice that no one else ever heard. The story drifts between the cold deck and Danny's final journal entries, circling a question that still keeps Luna awake: what does it mean to drown when you're not in the water? #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #GrayHarbor #Danny #MaryEllen #trawler #drowning #freshwater #voice #intercom #journal #nightshift #December #oilskin #sodiumlight #net #unresolved Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Drank the Moon

    November 2022, on a night when the herring run stalled and the deck of the trawler went dead quiet, Luna watched a man in a yellow slicker row out past the breakwater—not toward any boat, but toward the reflection of the full moon on the water. He did it every full moon, the old-timers said, dipping a tin cup into the sea and drinking whatever he caught. Luna tells the story of how she followed him one night, and what she saw when the moon slipped behind a cloud. The town called him Jonah's Fool. But the real name he answered to was something older, and the thing he was drinking was not water. #TheManWhoDrankTheMoon #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #NorthAtlantic #Maine #FullMoon #JonahsFool #Luna #Trawler #HerringRun #TinCup #Moonlight #SeaHorror #FolkHorror #NightOnTheWater #SoloNarration #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Measured the Dark

    Luna recalls a winter spent in a coastal Maine town called Driftwood, where the nights are so long the sun barely clears the horizon by noon. She met a retired lighthouse keeper named Silas March who spent his final years measuring the darkness between the waves—not the time between crests, but the true blackness that fills the space when no light touches the water. He kept notebooks filled with numbers that didn't correspond to any known pattern of tide or current. When he disappeared one January night, his last entry read simply: 'It has a shape.' Luna found his final notebook washed up on the beach, its pages swollen with salt water and ink that had run in strange, deliberate curves. The numbers were gone, but the shape was still there. She hasn't looked at the ocean the same way since. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #LighthouseKeeper #DriftwoodMaine #DarknessMeasured #Notebooks #SilasMarch #WinterSolstice #CoastalMaine #OceanHorror #TheShapeOfDark #LostAtSea #JanuaryNight #Beachcombing #WhatLurksBelow #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Counted the Waves

    Out past the breakwater at Half-Moon Cove, there's a stretch of beach where the tide doesn't behave. The locals call it the Counting Ground, but no one visits after dark. Luna remembers a man named Elias who sat there every night for eleven years, marking each wave in a leather notebook. He said he was looking for the one that didn't match. When she finally asked what would happen if he found it, he showed her the last page—and the ink was still wet. A quiet, salt-stained story about obsession, repetition, and the one thing that breaks the pattern. Set in a coastal town in Maine, late autumn, just before a nor'easter. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HalfMoonCove #CountingGround #Elias #WaveCounting #MaineCoast #Autumn #NorEaster #Obsession #PatternBreaking #LeatherNotebook #Tide #Lighthouse #SaltStained #Luna #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Caught the Same Fish Thirty Times

    On a moonless November night in 1999, Luna's uncle Ray—a quiet, weathered fisherman out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire—brought something strange aboard his trawler, the 'Sally Ann.' For six hours, he hauled the same fish, a single cod with a white eye and a distinct notch in its tail, again and again, each time in a different drift miles apart. The net came up empty except for that one fish. Ray cut the engine and drifted into a fog that had no business being there. What he saw through the water—a curved spine of something enormous, moving slow and patient beneath the keel—changed the way he looked at the ocean. He never told the whole story, not even to Luna, but she pieced it together from the things he stopped saying. This is what she heard on the deck of the Sally Ann, holding a fish that should not have been caught at all. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheManWhoCaughtTheSameFishThirtyTimes #SallyAnn #Portsmouth #NewHampshire #November #fishing #GulfOfMaine #cod #whiteeye #fog #somethingbeneath #oceanhorror #folklore #slowburn #atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Walked Into the Surf at Half-Moon Cove

    Off the coast of Maine, a narrow gravel road ends at Half-Moon Cove — a sliver of black stone beach where the tide runs fast and the water tastes like iron. Luna spent a summer there crewing on a lobster boat out of Jonesport, and every evening she watched a woman in a gray dress walk into the Atlantic just before dusk. Nobody in town would speak about her. The harbormaster said she'd been coming for forty years, ever since the winter of '82, when a mail boat went down in a squall and every man aboard was lost. Luna tried to ask her once. The woman smiled, but her eyes were the color of old ice. This episode is about the things we choose not to see, the cold that seeps into houses built too close to the shore, and the sound of wet wool on wet stone. It's about a question Luna still can't answer: what does the ocean take, and what does it give back? #HalfMoonCove #Maine #Jonesport #GhostStory #Drowning #Atlantic #LobsterBoat #Winter1982 #MailBoat #CoastalHorror #TheWomanInGray #SuccubusOfTheSea #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #LunaNarrates #SlowBurn #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Coal-Throated Bell of Larkspur Mine

    On a frozen November night in 1987, a maintenance crew at the abandoned Larkspur Mine in central Pennsylvania hears a bell ringing from deep underground—a warning bell that hasn't been rung in forty years, since the day a collapse sealed a shift of men in the third seam. Foreman Ray Kellner, a man who never believed in ghosts, goes down alone to silence it. What he finds in the dark is not a loose cable or a trick of the wind, but something that has been waiting patiently, coal-dusted and patient, with a voice that sounds exactly like his father's. Luna tells the story of the night the mine remembered the dead, and the one warning that should never have been answered. #LarkspurMine #RayKellner #CoalThroat #Pennsylvania #November1987 #AbandonedMine #WarningBell #ThirdSeam #FortyYears #MineCollapse #FathersVoice #DustLungs #BlackWater #SealedIn #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #SlowBurnHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Heard the Ice

    In the winter of 2019, Luna's uncle Billy took a week-long solo ice-fishing trip on Lake Memphremagog, near the Vermont-Quebec border. He was a practical man, a retired lineman who knew the lake like the back of his hand. But on the third night, something below the ice began to speak—not words, but a low, rhythmic hum that vibrated through the rods and settled in his chest like a second heartbeat. By morning, the fish were gone, the auger blade was bent, and a single set of footprints circled his shack in the snow—prints that ended at the water, not far from where the ice had crazed into a perfect spiral. Luna pieces together what happened from his journal, found under the floorboards of the shack, and from the voicemail he left her at 3:47 AM. This is the story of a quiet man who listened too long to something that should never have answered. #LakeMemphremagog #IceFishing #VermontWinter #UncleBilly #TheHumBelow #FrozenHorror #Solitude #JournalEntries #Voicemail #SpiralInIce #FootprintsInSnow #SomethingBelow #QuietDescent #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #Anthology #NorthernTerror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Forgot the Porch Light

    In the autumn of 2017, Luna spent a week in the coastal town of Porthaven, Maine, housesitting for an old family friend. The house was a three-story Victorian on Church Street, a block from the harbor. The friend—a marine biologist named Eleanor—had left detailed instructions about the cat, the plants, and the porch light. She said to keep it on every night, from dusk until dawn. Luna forgot, once, on the third night. And something came up from the water—something that had been waiting for the dark. This is the story of what she saw on the seawall, what she heard in the basement, and what Eleanor never told her about the light. It is not a ghost story. It is a story about a promise, and what happens when you break one. #PorthavenMaine #PorchLight #TheThingInTheDark #MarineHorror #HousesittingGoneWrong #LighthouseLogic #EleanorsHouse #ChurchStreet #NotAGhostStory #CoastalMaine #AutumnHorror #WeirdTide #BasementSteps #Seawall #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration #ColdWake Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Salt-Rot Man of Grays Harbor

    Luna recalls a winter night on Grays Harbor, Washington, where a lone fisherman named Elias Corwin pulled a body from the water—except the body wasn't dead. The man sat up, spoke in a voice that tasted like rust and low tide, and asked for the 'key to the deep lock.' Elias brought him home. For three days the man sat in a wooden chair, never blinking, never eating, dripping brine onto the floorboards. He told Elias things about the ocean floor no living person should know. By the fourth morning, the chair was empty, but the floorboards were warped beyond repair, and Elias's left hand had turned the color of a dead jellyfish. Luna remembers all this because she grew up two houses down from Elias. She saw the hand. She heard the tape recording. And she still dreams about what the man whispered into Elias's ear just before dawn. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #GraysHarbor #Washington #Fisherman #TheSaltRotMan #DeepLock #Brine #Drowned #WinterNight #TapeRecorder #Warwickshire #EliasCorwin #WoodenChair #SeaCreature #Unsettling #LunaNarrates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Whistler on the Washboard Road

    November 1998. A two-lane gravel road outside Wolf Creek, Montana. I was driving back from a dead-end job interview when I saw a woman walking the shoulder in the freezing rain. She wore no coat. She was barefoot. And she was whistling a tune I hadn't heard since my grandmother's wake. I stopped. That was my mistake. By the time I understood what she was, the road had changed. The mile markers were gone. The radio had stopped. And every time I glanced in the rearview, she was a little closer to the passenger door. This is the story of the longest seven miles of my life. The night I learned that some roads don't lead anywhere you want to go. And the tune that followed me home. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #LunaNarrates #Whistler #WashboardRoad #WolfCreek #Montana #November #Rain #Barefoot #FolkSong #Grandmother #Wake #RoadHorror #Rearview #Pursuit #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Ice That Held Her Name

    Luna recalls a winter night in the fishing village of Port Blaine, Maine, where she met an old woman named Esther who claimed the ice floes off the coast whispered names. The story unfolds on a frozen dock, under a sky of broken stars, as Luna watches Esther listen to the groan of shifting ice. The names belonged to men lost at sea—and one of them was Luna's. A slow, cold encounter about grief, memory, and the sound of something beneath the surface. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #PortBlaine #Maine #Winter #IceFloe #Esther #LostFishermen #SeaNames #Grief #Memory #Dock #NorthAtlantic #FrozenSea #Whisper #TrailingNet #LunaNarrates #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Woman Who Knew the Tide

    In the winter of 2019, a marine biologist named Cora Venn arrived in the coastal town of Moth Harbor, Maine, to study a strange algal bloom that glowed at night. She soon discovered that the water did not just glow—it whispered. Local fishermen spoke of a woman who walked into the sea two decades ago and never came back. Cora listened too closely, and the tide began to answer her. This episode follows her final night on the beach, where she learned what the water wanted, and why it had been waiting. #MothHarbor #CoraVenn #AlgalBloom #Tide #WhisperingWater #Maine #Winter2019 #MarineBiologist #TheWomanWhoKnewTheTide #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #SeaHorror #Unresolved #Luna #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Rain That Remembered Her

    On a rain-soaked November night in 2019, Luna stops for gas at a lonely station outside the town of Drywell, Massachusetts—a place that hasn't been dry in two years. The attendant, an old man named Hollis, tells her about a woman who vanished from that very station in 1998, and about the rain that has followed him ever since. As Luna listens, the storm outside takes on a shape, a rhythm, a voice. The pumps tick over. The gutters choke. And somewhere in the dark, something that was left unfinished begins to find its way back. A quiet, waterlogged story about grief, repetition, and the things we refuse to let go. #TheRainThatRememberedHer #Drywell #Massachusetts #GasStationHorror #Rain #November #1998 #Hollis #VanishedWoman #Grief #HauntedPlace #Repetition #Storm #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Light That Wasn't There

    March 2003. Luna's uncle, a fisherman out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, tells her about a night he wishes he could forget. He was thirty miles off the coast, hauling in a late-season catch, when he saw a light on the water. Not a boat. Not a buoy. A light that moved like it was alive. He followed it. He shouldn't have. This is the story of what he found, and what found him. It's a story about loneliness, and the things that answer when you're alone long enough. Set on a trawler in the black North Atlantic, under a sky full of stars that don't look back. The kind of story that leaves you staring at the ceiling at 3 AM, wondering if the dark outside your window is a little bit thicker than it was before. Nothing graphic. Just the slow, certain dread of knowing something else is out there, and it knows you're listening. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #NorthAtlantic #Gloucester #FishingBoat #March2003 #MarkRigby #Uncle #SeaHorror #LightOnTheWater #SomethingDownThere #AloneAtSea #AudioDrama #HorrorStory #Anthology #DeepWater #TheLightThatWasntThere #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Man Who Drank the Static

    Summer 1997. A rusted-over AM radio tower outside the town of Tinker's Ford, Vermont — a place where the only thing that comes in clear is the hum between stations. Luna's uncle worked the night shift there for seventeen years, until the night he stopped coming home. This is the story of what he heard, what he wrote down in the logbook, and what the tower played back in the dark hours before dawn. The FCC called it equipment failure. The town called it a suicide. But Luna knows the difference between a voice and a noise, and the noise was never the tower's. A slow-burn ghost story about transmission, reception, and the spaces where signals get lost. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TinkersFord #AMRadio #Static #Transmission #Signal #Tower #Vermont #Summer1997 #Uncle #Logbook #WhiteNoise #TheHum #LighthouseKeeper #RadioGhost #HorrorStory #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Anchor Chain of Port William

    In the autumn of 2003, Luna spent a week in Port William, Maine, a fishing village on a granite cove where the tide ran fast and the fog ate sound. She had come to inventory the estate of an old lobsterman who had died alone in his house above the harbor. The house was full of clocks that ran at different times. The basement held something else: a chain bolted to the floor, leading down through a hole in the concrete into the dark below the house. The locals told her the old man had anchored something in the cove, something he pulled up one night and never put back. Luna walked the harbor at low tide and saw the chain disappearing into the mud. She never found out what was on the other end. But she heard it, one night, when the fog closed in and the chain went taut. #PortWilliam #Maine #AnchorChain #Lobsterman #TidalCove #Fog #Clocks #Basement #ConcreteHole #LowTide #ChainGoingTaut #FishingVillage #October #2003 #OldHouse #EstateInventory #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Bell at Stillwater Point

    October 2018. A small vacation rental on Stillwater Point, Maine — a narrow peninsula jutting into a cold lake that never warms above fifty degrees. Luna spent a weekend there with an old friend. The house was fine. The dock was fine. But the lake had a bell — a cast-iron bell on a buoy, ringing on nights with no wind. This is the story of why the locals never swim after dark, and what Luna saw on her last night under a moonless sky. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StillwaterPoint #Maine #LakeBell #OctoberNight #Moonless #Dock #RowingBoat #Drowning #Luna #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #Northeast #LakeHorror #SoloNarration #TrueHorror #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Drowning Girl of Route 9

    September 1997. A woman named Carrie Pendelton vanishes from a gas station on Route 9 in western Massachusetts. Luna grew up two towns over, and she remembers the flyers, the search parties, the way the leaves turned early that year. Twenty years later, Luna drives that road at midnight and sees a girl in a white dress standing at the edge of the Pontoosuc Lake causeway. The girl is wet. She isn't shivering. And when Luna slows down, the girl points at the water. What Luna finds at the bottom of the lake changes everything she thought she knew about that autumn. This is a story about what drifts, what waits, and what comes home when you least expect it. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Route9 #PontoosucLake #Massachusetts #MissingGirl #CarriePendelton #WhiteDress #LakeHorror #Causeway #September1997 #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #SmallTownHorror #GhostStory #Drowning #DarkWater #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Night the Buoy Sang

    In the autumn of 1998, Luna's uncle took a wrong turn on a logging road in Washington's Hoh Rainforest. He ended up at a defunct Coast Guard station where a single buoy, disconnected from its mooring, floated in a concrete pool. Its bell rang not with wind, but with a low, deliberate tone—like a voice trying to find its range. This is the story of what he heard that night, and what he left behind. A story about the things we try to contain, and the frequencies we were never meant to answer. A quiet horror about listening too closely. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HohRainforest #CoastGuardStation #LunaStory #TheBuoy #1998 #LoggingRoad #Washington #Forks #OceanStation #Uncle #Bell #Foghorn #DeepWater #Abandoned #Listening #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Last Haul of the Mary Katherine

    In the winter of 2016, Luna spent a week aboard the Mary Katherine, a sixty-foot trawler working the Grand Banks out of St. John's. The captain was a man named Tom O'Neill, quiet and precise, with a daughter he never talked about. On the third night, the net brought up something that wasn't fish — not a body, not debris, but a sound. A low, constant hum that came from the net itself, from something tangled in the mesh that had no visible shape. The crew felt it in their teeth. Tom ordered the net cut loose, but the hum didn't stop. It followed the boat for three days, growing louder each night, and when they finally limped back to port, the Mary Katherine's hull was vibrating like a tuning fork. No one would take her out again. Luna sits on the deck, oilskin pulled tight, watching the lights of another trawler fade into the dark, and she remembers the sound — still waiting, still hungry, still humming. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ColdWake #TheLastHaul #MaryKatherine #GrandBanks #StJohns #FishingBoatHorror #DeepSeaHorror #TheHum #NorthAtlantic #Trawler #TomONeill #LostCatch #SomethingInTheNet #MaritimeHorror #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #OceanHorror #FishingHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Bone Hook

    A single night in December 2017, on a gravel pull-off outside the ghost town of Ysleta, Oregon. Luna was driving back to Portland when her headlights caught a man standing in the rain beside a rusted sedan. He wasn't hitchhiking — he was holding a fishing rod, line cast into the dry ditch beside the road. She should have kept driving. Instead she rolled down the window. What he told her over the next hour, in a voice that didn't seem to come from his mouth, changed the way she hears water at night. This is a story about what gets caught in the spaces between things — between lanes, between breaths, between the living and the gone. No one else was on that road. No cars passed. And when she finally looked back in the rearview, the sedan was already gone. But the sound of the line reeling in... that stayed. #ColdWake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheBoneHook #YsletaOregon #GhostTown #Highway140 #DecemberNight #FishingRod #Ditch #Rain #Sedan #Stranger #Luna #NorthAtlanticTrawler #SodiumLight #HeavingWaves #UnsettlingEncounter #MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Cold Wake is a maritime horror anthology where each episode is a self-contained voyage into the black Atlantic. Luna stands on the deck of a North Atlantic trawler, the sodium light casting long shadows as she tells stories of fishermen who haul up things that should never be caught — sentient knots of net, voices from the deep that answer questions no one asked, and wrecks that refuse to stay on the seafloor. The register is salt-crusted and whispered: the slow creak of a hull, the distant foghorn, the shock of cold water on skin. These are tales of isolation, of men who have seen too much darkness beyond the horizon, of creatures that wear the shape of scavenged souls. Every episode is a standalone story, but all are bound by the same icy ocean and Luna's steady, intimate narration — as if she's beside you in the dark, pointing a trembling finger at something just out of sight. There is no rescue here, only the tide pulling you under.#MaritimeHorror #DeepSeaHorror #OceanHorror #Nort
