Yule Wraith — Fexingo Horror
by Fexingo
On the cusp of winter solstice, when the last light drains from the sky and frost webs the windowpanes, Luna sits on a snowy porch and tells the stories that gather in the dark like a Yule tide. Each episode of Yule Wraith is a self-contained tale — a folk horror for the longest night, where ancient rituals stir beneath Christmas cheer, where the wassail cup holds something older than wine, and where a wreath of yew and holly might be the only charm against what creeps through the evergreens. From a solitary farmhouse that never appears on any map, to a bell that tolls without a ringer, to a child's gift that should never be opened after midnight — these are winter solstice stories for those who know the sleigh bells can be a warning. Luna's voice is like embers in the hearth, steady and warm, but the shadows she describes shift just beyond the firelight. This is not the holiday you remember. This is the night you stay awake until dawn, curtains drawn, listening for hooves in the snow.

The Bell at St. Sylvan's Crossroads
On the night before Christmas Eve, Luna stops at a solitary farmhouse on St. Sylvan's Road to deliver a wreath for an old order. The woman who answers the door is not the one who placed it. She invites Luna inside to wait out the snow, and shows her a bell hanging in the kitchen window — one that rings by itself whenever someone is about to die in the valley. They talk through the evening about the bell's history, the names it has tolled for, and the silence that has settled over the past three days. Then the bell rings again. And Luna realizes the woman has been waiting for her. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StSylvansCrossroads #Bell #ChristmasEve #Farmhouse #Snowstorm #Omen #DeathBell #LunaStory #Anthology #SmallTownHorror #FolkHorror #WinterHorror #HushedTone #Atmospheric #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Candle at Hargrave Crossing
At the old Hargrave Crossing bridge in northern Vermont, on a December night in 1993, I saw a woman in a red coat standing at the center of the bridge, holding a single unlit candle. She wasn't there when I crossed. But when I looked back in the rearview mirror, she was standing exactly where I had been. I didn't stop. But the next morning, I learned that a girl named Emily Hargrave had died on that bridge twenty years ago, on the same night, carrying a candle she never got to light. They say if you see her on the anniversary, you owe her a light. And if you don't stop... she follows you home. This is the story of what happened after I saw her, and what I found waiting on my porch the next three nights. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #HargraveCrossing #EmilyHargrave #CandleAtTheBridge #VermontHorror #DecemberNight #1993 #RedCoat #UnlitCandle #Anniversary #PorchLight #SnowyBridge #FollowYouHome #LunaNarrates #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Mitten at Frost Creek Bridge
Christmas Eve, 1998. A lone mitten on the guardrail of Frost Creek Bridge. Luna stops to pick it up and finds herself caught in a loop of footsteps in the snow, a child's voice calling from the frozen creek below, and a warmth that doesn't belong to the living. This is a story about the things we leave behind and the things that wait for us to come back. A quiet, unhurried ghost story set in a small Wisconsin town, where the snow falls thick and the bridge groans under the weight of memory. #FrostCreekBridge #ChristmasEve #MitternMystery #WisconsinGhostStory #FrozenCreek #GhostlyFootsteps #ColdWinter #1998 #SmallTownHorror #LunaNarrates #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyHorror #YuleWraith #ChristmasGhost #LostChild #SnowAndSilence #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Hand at Yule Hollow
A short drive east of Millbrook, just past the old quarry turnoff, there's a stretch of road called Yule Hollow Lane. It doesn't appear on most maps, and the county stopped maintaining it sometime in the seventies. But every Christmas Eve, for the past eleven years, June Harwick has driven that lane at dusk. She brings a thermos of spiced tea and an old wool blanket, and she sits at the dead end where the hollow opens into a circle of bare oaks. She told me she doesn't know why she goes. She told me she doesn't want to know. But she also told me about the hand. The one that pressed against the inside of her windshield on the first night she ever went there. The one that left no mark, no smear, no frost — just the shape of five fingers, palm flat, as if someone on the other side of the glass was trying to reach through. She hasn't told anyone else. She only told me because I asked, because I'd seen something similar once. And because the hand came back last night, and this time it didn't press from the outside. It pressed from inside the car. Luna reads June's account by candlelight on a snowy porch, the bell at the door stirring in a wind that smells of pine and something older. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #YuleHollowLane #JuneHarwick #TheHand #ChristmasEve #Millbrook #DeerHunterRidge #FordPinto1972 #FrostPatterns #SisterMarianne #StAgnesHome #PalmPrint #NoExit #TracksInSnow #LunaReads #Candlelight Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Light at Candlewood Lane
Luna recalls a December night in the small town of Candlewood, Vermont, where a string of porch lights along a country lane began to go out one by one — not flickering, not burning out, but simply vanishing, leaving only darkness behind. She drove the lane at dusk, counting the dark houses, and met an old woman on a porch who told her about the 'bell ringer' — a figure who comes at Yule to claim the unwary. But the old woman's story shifted each time she told it, and the last porch light went out as Luna walked away. A quiet, creeping episode about the stories we tell ourselves to keep the dark at bay, and what happens when those stories start telling us back. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #Candlewood #PorchLight #BellRinger #OldWoman #DecemberNight #Vermont #Yule #Folklore #Darkness #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #SoloNarrated #Luna #WinterHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Cuthbert's Gate
Christmas Eve, 1987. A woman named Ida Corrigan lives alone in a farmhouse on Bell Hill Road in Burkittsville, Maryland. Every year she hangs a bell on the gate. Every year it rings once at midnight. This year, the bell keeps ringing. Luna tells the story of a neighbor who tried to help Ida, and what she found in the snow between the gate and the house. The bells are not supposed to ring more than once. There is an old story about St. Cuthbert's Gate and the something that waits for the one who answers. A quiet, cold episode about the things we invite in when we follow an old tradition without knowing why. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #TheBellAtStCuthbertsGate #IdaCorrigan #BellHillRoad #Burkittsville #ChristmasEve #OldTraditions #Bell #Gate #Snow #Farmhouse #Midnight #Ringing #Luna #SoloNarrated #WinterHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Snow at St. Dwynwen's Cross
Luna recalls the night she took shelter in a tiny rural chapel after her car slid off a back road near the town of Treddin, Maine. The chapel was dark, the door unlocked, and someone had left a single candle burning on the altar. She wasn't alone. The old iron bell in the tower had been ringing for a hundred years without a rope. She met Elara, a woman who had been waiting there for something she couldn't name—something that came every Christmas Eve at midnight. This is a quiet, snow-buried story about the weight of waiting and the sound of a bell that rings itself. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StandaloneEpisode #TreddinMaine #StDwynwensCross #Chapel #Bell #ChristmasEve #Snowstorm #Elara #Midnight #ShelfRoad #Candle #Pew #WoolShawl #Luna #Waiting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Dunstan's Gate
On Christmas Eve, 1993, Luna's grandmother sent her to ring the old bell at St. Dunstan's gate at midnight—a tradition meant to keep the Yule Wraith at bay. But the bell hadn't been rung in decades, and something had been waiting for the sound. In a small Vermont town called Harlow's Rest, Luna learned that some traditions aren't just superstition. They're warnings. And when you break the silence, you don't always get to choose what answers. A slow-burn tale of inherited dread and a bell that should have stayed quiet. #StDunstansGate #HarlowsRest #YuleWraith #ChristmasEve #Vermont #Bell #Traditions #Grandmother #1993 #Midnight #Snow #FrozenLake #Candles #MasonJars #Yew #Holly #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Eulalia's Well
On the night after Christmas, Luna drives a back road in northwestern Massachusetts and finds a stone well she's never noticed before, hung with a single iron bell. The well is dry, but the bell rings on its own in the still air. A local woman named Ada tells her the well was sealed in 1892, after a child followed the sound of bells into the woods and never came back. But that was only the first disappearance. By the end of the story, Luna is left wondering why the bell rang for her—and what might have answered if she had touched it. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #StEulaliasWell #IronBell #ChristmasHorror #Massachusetts #Disappearances #FolkloreHorror #Well #Forest #Bell #Ada #Luna #Snow #Night #Unresolved #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at Snow Hollow Church
A December night in 1987, on a back road outside of Millbrook, New York. A man named Arthur stops his car after hitting something on the icy road. He finds a set of footprints leading into the woods. They are not human. They lead him to an old church that hasn't held services in fifty years. Inside, a bell is ringing at midnight. No one is pulling the rope. The sound is coming from the bell itself — a deep, slow note that makes the bones ache. And then it stops. And something breathes in the dark. A quiet, lingering encounter with a thing that waits in the hollow between Christmas and the new year. Not a ghost story. Something older. #SnowHollowChurch #MillbrookNY #TheBell #FootprintsInTheSnow #December1987 #Arthur #OldChurch #Wraith #ChristmasHorror #WinterHorror #SmallTown #AbandonedChurch #BellRinging #Creature #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Stephen's Well — Part 3
Luna returns to the frozen well at St. Stephen's, where the bell has been ringing every Christmas Eve at midnight for sixty years—but this year, something answers from beneath the ice. A quiet, unhurried visit to the town of Millbrook, Vermont, on a night so cold the stars sound like breaking glass. The story of a woman named Esther who tended the well until the winter she disappeared, and the single brass bell that keeps her memory alive—or keeps something else at bay. Luna sits on the stone lip, her breath clouding in the dark, and listens to a sound that isn't the wind. #StStephensWell #MillbrookVermont #TheBell #ChristmasEve #FrozenWell #Esther #Midnight #BrassBell #Ice #SoundingGlass #LostWoman #SixtyYears #Snow #Candlelight #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #AnthologyHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Stephen's Well – Part 2
Luna returns to the well at St. Stephen's Church on Christmas Eve, a year after the first incident. The bell she tied to the yew tree has been replaced with a child's shoe. The water in the well is warm, and beneath the ice she sees something moving. A story about the things we offer to the dark, and what the dark offers back. #StStephensWell #ChristmasEve #Bell #YewTree #Well #Shoe #Ice #Offerings #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #SmallTown #Winter #FolkHorror #Silence #Snow #Candlelight Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Stephen's Well
In the winter of 1998, Luna's aunt lived alone on a failing farm at the edge of St. Stephen's Well, a dried-up spring surrounded by bare oaks. She kept a brass bell on the porch, said to ring when someone lost was coming home. That December, the bell began to ring at odd hours — three times, then silence. Luna spent two weeks there, listening, as the ringing grew more insistent and the cold seeped into the walls. A story about waiting, about the dead who forget they're dead, and about the mercy of a bell that never stops. #StStephensWell #TheBell #AuntEleanor #FailingFarm #Winter1998 #DriedSpring #BrassBell #Porch #ThreeRings #LostComingHome #Cold #Silence #Waiting #DeadForgot #Mercy #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at St. Stephen's Well
Christmas Eve, 1987. A girl named Celeste disappears from the town of Millbrook, Vermont, after following the sound of a bell nobody else can hear. Her sister, Iris, spends the next thirty years tracing that sound to St. Stephen's Well, a forgotten stone spring on the edge of the national forest. What she finds there isn't a body, or a ghost, or a message. It's something that was always waiting for an answer. Luna tells a story of longing, patience, and the shape of a wish made wrong. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheBellAtStStephensWell #MillbrookVermont #ChristmasEve1987 #StStephensWell #Celeste #Iris #lost #found #bell #wish #Vermont #winter #snow #disappearance #folkhorror #lonely Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Garland at Shadow Creek Church
December 1998, the night before Christmas Eve. Luna’s aunt sends her to Shadow Creek Church to retrieve a forgotten casserole dish from the parish hall potluck. The church is dark, the parking lot empty, but someone has strung a fresh garland of pine and red berries across the front doors — even though the building has been locked since sunset. Inside, the lights flicker on as she enters. A single red ribbon lies on the altar step. The organ plays a note she’s never heard before, low and sustained, vibrating through the floorboards. She follows the sound to the basement, where the old boiler room door stands open, and a wreath of dried yew hangs on the wall, and the smell of pine smoke comes from somewhere below. She calls out. No one answers. But the footsteps behind her are not her own. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #ShadowCreekChurch #ChristmasEve #Garland #Ribbon #OrganMusic #Basement #BoilerRoom #Footsteps #SmallTown #1998 #WinterSolstice #Luna #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Holly at Halford Crossing
Christmas Eve, 1998. A young woman driving home from her shift at the all-night diner in Halford, Vermont, takes a shortcut she's taken a hundred times—Halford Crossing, the old covered bridge that connects the county road to the hollow. But tonight the bridge is different. There's a sprig of holly nailed to the beam, and a man standing in the middle, waiting. He doesn't move. He doesn't speak. But when she stops, he points to the ice below. Luna tells the story of a promise she made that night, and why she still leaves a sprig of holly at the bridge every Christmas Eve, twenty-six years later. A quiet, frozen encounter with something that waits at the threshold between years. #HalfordVermont #Holly #CoveredBridge #ChristmasEve1998 #Threshold #Promise #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #FrozenRiver #SprintOfHolly #WinterSolstice #SmallTownHorror #NightShift #BridgeCrossing #Ice #SilentFigure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at Frost Creek Trail
December 1987, just outside the tiny town of Mirkwood, Vermont. A woman named Clara picks up a hitchhiker on Frost Creek Trail—a young man with no coat, no gloves, and a strange bell tied to his wrist with red ribbon. He speaks of a house at the end of the trail, a Christmas Eve tradition, and a debt that must be paid before midnight. Clara drives him home, but what she finds there isn't a house at all—it's a shallow grave in the snow, and the bell is still ringing. Luna tells the story of a kindness that opened a door to something older than the season, and the question that still keeps her awake: who was ringing the bell when they buried him? #FrostCreekTrail #MirkwoodVermont #ChristmasEve1987 #TheBell #Clara #Hitchhiker #RedRibbon #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #WinterHorror #GhostStory #NewEnglandHorror #FolkHorror #SlowBurn #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Chimney at Merriweather House
On Christmas Eve 1997, Luna visited Merriweather House, a crumbling Victorian on the outskirts of Morrow Falls, to collect a donation for the town's holiday food drive. The elderly owner, Mrs. Harlow, insisted she stay for tea and a slice of fruitcake. As the clock struck midnight, Mrs. Harlow told Luna about the chimney — sealed for forty years after a fire that took her husband. She claimed something still moved inside it. Luna heard it too. A dry scrape. A low hum. And then the sound of something breathing, slow and patient, from behind the bricks. This is a story about what lives in the walls of old houses, and what happens when you listen too closely. #TheChimneyAtMerriweatherHouse #MorrowFalls #MrsHarlow #ChristmasEve #1997 #Fruitcake #SealedChimney #WallBreathing #OldVictorian #FoodDrive #Donation #Tea #Midnight #DryScrape #LowHum #Hearth #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Snowman on Proctor Hill
December 2023 on a back road in Prosper, Maine. Luna's car slides off Route 9 near the old Proctor place and she walks up the hill to the only house with a light on—a farmhouse where a solitary old man named Ellis Proctor sits in a rocker, watching a snowman in his yard. The snowman is wrong. It has been there for two years, since his wife died. It doesn't melt. Luna stays for a cup of tea and leaves with a story she cannot shake: the way Ellis talks to the snowman, the way it seems to listen, the way her own reflection in the kitchen window looked, for just a second, like someone else. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AudioHorror #Storytelling #Snowman #ProsperMaine #EllisProctor #Route9 #Farmhouse #Grief #WinterHorror #Supernatural #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarration #FolkHorror #SmallTownHorror #CreepyWinter Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Wreath at Gable End Farm
On a frozen December night in 2019, Luna visits Gable End Farm—a half-abandoned property on the outskirts of Millbrook—to deliver a Christmas wreath to an elderly woman who hasn't left her house in years. What begins as a quiet act of neighborly kindness turns into something else when Luna notices the wreath she hung on the front door keeps vanishing and reappearing in the same spot, each time slightly different. The woman inside speaks through the mail slot in a voice that sounds too young for her known age. And she keeps asking: 'Did you bring the key?' This is a story about the things we choose not to see on winter nights, the lines between care and trespass, and what happens when you answer a door that should have stayed shut. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #GableEndFarm #Millbrook #solonarrated #winterhorror #ChristmasEve #eldritch #wreath #door #mailSlot #luna #atmospheric #slowburn #smalltown #homeinvasion #unreliable Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell at Snowberry Crossing
In December of 2019, a woman named Clara inherited her grandmother's empty farmhouse on Snowberry Crossing Road, a dead-end lane off Route 9 in central Vermont. She went alone on the winter solstice to pack a few belongings, planning to list the place in January. But the house had other plans. From the moment she stepped onto the porch, a brass sleigh bell, tied with a red ribbon, began ringing on its own—sometimes once, sometimes in a frantic rattle—whenever she drew near the upstairs bedroom. The bell had been her grandmother's, and it had never rung before, not once, in thirty years. What Clara found in that room changed how she thought about the word 'waiting.' #SnowberryCrossing #Clara #Vermont #sleighbells #grandmother #farmhouse #solstice #inheritance #hauntedhouse #atmospherichorror #folklore #slowburn #loneliness #winterhorror #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Knocker on Starling Lane
A quiet Christmas Eve on Starling Lane in the town of Millbrook, 1963. Luna remembers the year the snow came early and a man in a brown coat knocked on every door at dusk, asking for a girl who had been dead for twenty years. No one answered. No one opened. But the knock kept coming, from house to house, until it reached the last porch at the end of the lane — where a candle still burned in the window. A story about cold, silence, and the one door you must never open on the longest night. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #ChristmasEve #StarlingLane #Millbrook #TheKnocker #FootstepsInSnow #CandleInTheWindow #DeadGirl #1963 #SmallTownHorror #WinterSolstice #NoAnswer #Dusk #BrownCoat #PorchLight #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Fire at Lambert's Barn
Christmas Eve, 1987. A boy named Peter watches from his bedroom window as a figure in a red coat and hood walks from the dark woods toward Lambert's Barn—the abandoned hayloft that burned down three years ago, killing a man inside. The barn has no roof, no walls, just a stone foundation and a charred crossbeam. But the figure walks through the snow as if it knows exactly where it's going. Peter follows. Luna unravels a story about an old promise, a lost sheep, and what waits for the ones who never came home. No gore. No jump scares. Just a boy alone in the cold, learning that some fires never go out. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #ChristmasEve #LostSheep #LambertBarn #Snow #SmallTown #1987 #Promise #AbandonedPlace #Footprints #RedCoat #Pendelton #WinterHorror #Atmospheric #SoloNarrated #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Light at St. Agnes Road
In the small town of Millbrook, Vermont, on a frozen December night in 1983, a woman named Cora watched a light appear in the abandoned St. Agnes Orphanage—a building that had been dark for forty years. She saw it from her kitchen window, just a single flicker in the third-floor window where the nursery used to be. She told herself it was a reflection, a branch, a trick of the snow. But the light stayed, night after night, and she started to remember things she had tried to forget: the cold, the crying, the door that wouldn't open. This is a story about what we leave behind, and what waits in the dark for us to come back. #StAgnesRoad #MillbrookVermont #OrphanageHorror #YuleWraith #HolidayHorror #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AtmosphericHorror #FrozenNight #December1983 #AbandonedBuilding #NurseryWindow #Gaslight #Cora #ChristmasHorror #SlowBurnHorror #GhostStory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Candle on Old Mill Road
It was the last night of the year, and Luna found herself on Old Mill Road, a gravel lane that dead-ends at the ruins of a grist mill burned down in 1919. She had gone there to see the bonfire the town kids built every New Year's Eve, but the fire was out when she arrived. Instead, a single candle burned on the mill's remaining stone wall, its flame unnaturally still. Beside it sat a woman in a coat too thin for the cold, her hair moving in a wind that Luna couldn't feel. The woman spoke of a debt — a promise made a hundred years ago, renewed every year on that night. She asked Luna to take her place, just for an hour, so she could walk up the road and see her own house one last time. Luna agreed, and sat in the dark, holding the candle, watching the flame. The hour passed. The woman did not return. But the candle never went out. And as dawn broke, Luna saw what the woman had seen: her own house, through a window that should not exist, with her own face looking back. A quiet, unsettling story about promises, thresholds, and the cost of keeping a vigil. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyHorror #NewYearsEve #OldMillRoad #Candle #Vigil #Promise #Debt #Threshold #LiminalSpace #Ruins #SingleCandle #NoWind #Returning #GhostStory #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Yew at Evergreen Cemetery
In the small town of Millbrook, Vermont, Christmas Eve is marked by a tradition as old as the town itself: the lighting of the yew tree at Evergreen Cemetery. But this year, something is different. The tree, which has stood sentinel over the dead for centuries, is not just a symbol of remembrance—it's a conduit. Luna recounts her encounter with an old woman tending the grave of a child lost over a hundred years ago, and the chilling realization that the yew does not only guard the dead. It keeps them. As the candles flicker and the snow falls, Luna learns that some gifts are not meant to be unwrapped, and some lights are better left unlit. A quiet, lingering horror about the thin places between Christmas joy and the dark that waits beneath the frost. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #EvergreenCemetery #MillbrookVermont #YewTree #ChristmasEve #Tradition #ThinPlace #TheDead #OldWoman #Graveyard #Candles #Snow #Frost #GhostStory #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Light on Birchwood Path
December 2022, Birchwood Path, New Hampshire. A narrow gravel road that cuts through dense pine forest, three miles from the nearest town. Luna's car breaks down just after sunset, and she walks toward a solitary light she sees through the trees. The light belongs to a small house that shouldn't be there — the county survey maps show nothing but woods for another ten miles. The woman inside, elderly, wearing a faded green cardigan, offers her tea and a place to wait for a tow truck. But the phone doesn't work. The clock on the wall is stopped at 11:47. And the woman keeps asking about a girl named Cora, a girl who went missing from this road forty years ago. Luna tries to leave but the road outside is gone — just trees, unbroken, dark, pressing in. A quiet, chilling story about what happens when you follow a light that was never meant for you. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #ChristmasHorror #BirchwoodPath #MissingGirl #Cora #LonelyRoad #WinterNight #StrangeHouse #OldWoman #ClockStopped #CanYouHearHer #Snowbound #NoWayOut #LunaReads #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Star at Windfall Ridge
December 1987, a few days before Christmas. A heavy snow has fallen on the town of Millbrook, and the power is out across most of the county. Luna's neighbor, old Mrs. Harlow, asks her to check on a light she sees flickering at the top of Windfall Ridge — a place where nothing has stood for thirty years. The ridge is a long, treeless spine of land where the wind never stops, and where a farmhouse burned down in 1957, killing a family of six. No one goes up there. But this year, something is marking the spot. Luna hikes up through the drifts, following a pale, wavering glow that seems to pulse like a heartbeat. What she finds is not a house, not a fire, not a person. It is a star — a single, perfect, eight-pointed star woven out of dead twigs and frozen wire, hanging from a rusted hook that was never there before. The light comes from inside it, from something that burns without heat, without sound, without end. And as she stands there, the star begins to turn. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #WindfallRidge #Millbrook #ChristmasHorror #TheStar #Snow #December1987 #MrsHarlow #FarmhouseFire #TwigStar #FrozenWire #PaleLight #GhostLight #Luna #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Patch at Mistletoe Hollow
December 1997. A small Christmas tree farm called Mistletoe Hollow, off a winding road in upstate New York. Luna's family has been buying their tree there for years, but this time something is different. The owner, old Mr. Kettering, seems anxious, almost apologetic. He warns Luna and her father to stay out of the back field, past the last row of firs. That night, Luna walks the field alone and finds a patch of ground where no snow falls—just bare, frozen earth, perfectly square. And in the center, a single, fresh grave. No marker. A story about what gets buried to keep the rest of us warm. #MistletoeHollow #ChristmasTreeFarm #MrKettering #BackField #Grave #FrozenGround #Snow #December1997 #UpstateNewYork #FamilyTradition #BuriedSecret #WinterSolstice #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #Luna #YuleWraith Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Snow Globe on Maple Avenue
Christmas Eve, 2019. A woman named Clara buys a single snow globe from a dusty antique shop on Maple Avenue in the town of Millbrook, New York — population twelve thousand, deep in the Hudson Valley. The snow globe is old, heavy, its glass cold to the touch. Inside: a tiny white farmhouse, a single bare tree, and snow that falls without shaking. Clara sets it on her nightstand. By midnight, the snow inside is up to the windowsills. By two in the morning, she hears a creak from inside the globe — a door opening. And by three, the snow in her own driveway is fresh and unmarked — except for a single set of footprints leading from the street to her front door, each one filling with silver flakes that never melt. Luna tells Clara's story: how a collector's curiosity became a vigil, how she learned the globe held a December that never ended, and how she still keeps it on her nightstand — because if she stops watching, she's afraid of what might step out. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyHorror #SnowGlobe #ChristmasEve #MillbrookNY #AntiqueShop #MapleAvenue #YuleWraith #WinterHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror #SoloNarration #LunaReads #SmallTownHorror #HolidayHorror #SnowFallsInside #UnendingDecember Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

December 1997, Hemlock Creek, New York. A red mitten appears on the railing of a covered bridge every night after dark. Luna's friend Delia takes it home, and the house begins to remember things nobody spoke of. A story about what it means to hold something that was never meant to be taken, and the difference between giving and taking back. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #HemlockCreek #TheMitten #CoveredBridge #December1997 #RedMitten #Delia #OldHighway9 #SnowedIn #LeftBehind #ChristmasHorror #FolkHorror #SmallTown #WinterTale #Grief #Unresolved #YuleHorror #WinterSolstice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The String of Lights on Creighton Road
Luna recalls a December night in 2017 when a woman named Margie Chenoweth called the station to report a string of lights that kept changing color on a rural stretch of Creighton Road, just outside of Millbrook. Margie was a retired schoolteacher, not prone to flights of fancy, but she had counted nineteen distinct patterns in half an hour — colors no one in town could name, arranged in sequences that spelled something in a language she didn't recognize. When Luna drove out to see for herself, the lights were wrong in ways the camera couldn't capture, and the old man in the farmhouse at the end of the lane told her things about the wires running through the trees that no one was supposed to know. An episode about the things that flicker at the edge of sight, about the signals we were never meant to decode, and about the quiet terror of realizing some patterns only reveal themselves when you look away. #CreightonRoad #Millbrook #MargieChenoweth #ChristmasLights #UnnaturalColors #DecodingSignals #TheOldFarmhouse #WiresInTheTrees #PatternsThatHunt #LookAway #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror #YuleWraith #AnthologyEpisode #SmallTownHorror #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Carolers at Thornwood Shores
On Christmas Eve 1972, a church group caroling along the frozen coast of Thornwood Shores—a mile of jagged rocks and salt-swept pines—gets trapped by an incoming tide. One of them, a girl named Alice, vanishes inside a sea cave. Twenty years later, Luna's aunt sends her a letter from the same town, asking her to come see what washes up after each winter storm. This is the story of that night, and of the sound that still comes through the wind when the tide is high enough. A quiet horror about the things we leave behind for the sea to find. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ThornwoodShores #SeaCave #ChristmasEve #1972 #Carolers #Alice #Maine #FrozenCoast #Tide #Wind #Letter #Aunt #Return #Drowning #Memory #Luna #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Porch Light at Oakwood Lane
Luna recalls a Christmas Eve three years ago, when she took a wrong turn on Oakwood Lane in the town of Millbrook and found a farmhouse with a single porch light burning. The woman who answered the door—Elena, silver-haired and hollow-eyed—invited her in for hot cider. But the house was wrong: the grandfather clock chimed twice in a single hour, the Christmas tree had no ornaments, and the photographs on the mantel were all of the same girl at different ages, all with the same blank expression. As the night deepened, Luna realized Elena was waiting for someone who was never coming home. The story ends with Luna driving away, the porch light flickering behind her, and a faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance—though there was no snow on the ground. A quiet meditation on grief, waiting, and the things we refuse to let go. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #AnthologyHorror #ChristmasHorror #PorchLight #OakwoodLane #Millbrook #Grief #Elena #Photographs #SleighBells #WrongTurn #Farmhouse #Cider #ChristmasEve #EmptyHouse #Unsettling #YuleHorror #WinterSolstice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Gift at Holbrook Orchard
On Christmas Eve in the small town of Holbrook, New York, Luna remembers the year her neighbor Maud gave her a gift that was never meant to be given. Maud lived alone in the farmhouse at the end of Orchard Road, and every year she brought Luna a jar of honey and a single apple wrapped in brown paper. But the year the apple came with a note, Luna made the mistake of opening the cellar door. Set in 2018, at the edge of an apple orchard in deep winter, this is a story about a locked root cellar, a woman who never left, and a gift that keeps being given. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ChristmasEve #HolbrookOrchard #MaudPerry #RootCellar #GiftNotMeant #Apple #CellarDoor #SmallTownHorror #WinterHorror #Snow #Candlelight #PorchStory #HoneyJar #RedRibbon #UnresolvedHorror #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Gate at Larkspur Farm
December of 2003, on a back road outside Millbrook, New York, Luna stopped at a farm stand that only appeared after dark. The girl behind the table sold wreaths made of juniper and dried hydrangea, each with a handwritten tag naming someone who had died that year. Luna bought one for a stranger—a boy named Eli she'd never met—because the girl's voice sounded like she already knew what would happen next. That night, driving home, she saw him standing at the fence line in the snow, wearing the same blue coat from his school photo, watching her pass. A quiet story about grief, the way the dead accept small kindnesses, and the gate that stays open a little longer than it should. There is no monster. There is no jump. Just a girl selling wreaths on a cold road, and a boy who needed one. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleWraith #MillbrookNewYork #LarkspurFarm #EliDurham #December2003 #FarmStand #ChristmasWreaths #Juniper #DriedHydrangea #BlueCoat #DeadBoy #Grief #SnowyRoad #NoNeatClosure #AtmosphericHorror #AnthologyHorror #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Candle at Frost Hollow Church
Christmas Eve, 1998. Luna drives the back roads of Millbrook, Vermont, past the old Frost Hollow Church — a white clapboard building boarded up since the 1950s. But tonight, a single candle burns in the bell tower window. She pulls over, drawn by a pull she cannot name. Inside, the pews are dust-sheeted, the air thick with cold and something else — a presence waiting. A woman in a dark coat sits in the front row, her back to Luna. She does not turn. She does not speak. But the candlelight flickers in a room with no draft. Luna learns that the church was closed after a choir practice in 1951 when thirteen children vanished mid-song. Some say they were taken. Some say they never left. And every Christmas Eve, one more candle appears. Tonight, there are fourteen. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ChristmasEve #AbandonedChurch #MillbrookVermont #FrostHollow #Candlelight #VanishedChoir #FrozenLake #SnowedIn #BurningWax #GhostStory #SmallTownHorror #RuralNewEngland #LunaReads #AnthologyHorror #SlowBurnHorror #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Tree at Sutter's Crossing
Christmas Eve, 1989. Luna's mother sends her to Sutter's Crossing, a tiny Mississippi Delta town, to deliver a fruitcake to an aunt she barely knows. Snow falls on cotton fields, and the highway ends at a dirt road lined with cypress trees. The aunt's house is a whitewashed shotgun with a kerosene lamp in the window and the smell of boiled peanuts. But in the backyard, past the pecan grove, stands a Christmas tree that wasn't there the night before. Luna's aunt says she didn't put it up. She says it appears every year on the 24th and disappears by dawn. And this year, for the first time, Luna hears what it sounds like when the tree moves. A quiet, dragging scrape. The bell on the door. The dog that won't stop watching. A story about the things that mark us, whether we want them to or not. #SuttersCrossing #MississippiDelta #ChristmasEve #TheTree #Fruitcake #AuntDoreen #PecanGrove #BoiledPeanuts #KeroseneLamp #CottonFields #CypressTrees #RedTruck #DogNamedBones #ScrapeInTheDark #YewWreath #SnowOnCotton #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Lights on Harmony Hill
Luna remembers a December night in 2012, driving past Harmony Hill, a forgotten stretch of two-lane blacktop outside Halverton, Ohio. The story of a man named Caleb Mercer, who saw something in the snow that made him stop his truck. A lantern swinging from a branch. A woman in an old-fashioned coat. The thing she said to him, and the promise she made him keep. Luna tells it plain and quiet, the way he told it to her—sitting on her porch a week before Christmas, snow on his shoulders, a look in his eyes she still can't name. Not a ghost story, not exactly. More like a memory that doesn't belong to the right person. More like something that follows you home, stands at the foot of your bed, and waits. This episode has no easy answer. Just a stretch of road you might drive tonight, and a woman who might be standing there, waiting for someone who already promised they'd come back. #HarmonyHill #HalvertonOhio #CalebMercer #December2012 #Lanternlight #Snow #TwoLaneblacktop #Promise #Winterhorror #Ruralcreepypasta #Candlelightporch #Solonarration #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Atmospheric #Folklorehorror #Liminalspaces #Roadencounter #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Wreath on Gray Forks Road
Christmas Eve, 1987. Luna's aunt sends her to deliver a yew-and-holly wreath to a reclusive neighbor on Gray Forks Road—a gravel lane that dead-ends at the marsh. The old man, Mr. Harlow, hasn't spoken to anyone in years, but his porch light is always on. When Luna gets there, the wreath she carries begins to feel wrong: the berries too dark, the needles too sharp against her palm. She knocks. The door opens. And what she sees on his kitchen table—a wreath identical to the one in her hands, but made of something else—makes her understand why the house never needed visitors. A winter story about gifts we cannot give back. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #GrayForksRoad #ChristmasEve #Wreath #Yew #Holly #MrHarlow #Marsh #WinterHorror #FolkHorror #Luna #Anthology #SmallTownHorror #Gift #Isolation #Atmospheric #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

The Bell on Willow Lane
A small-town Christmas tradition turns sinister when Luna visits the old Ramsey house on Willow Lane in Tilden, Vermont, one December dusk. The story of a brass bell tied to the porch railing, its silent clapper, and the woman who waited inside year after year for a knock that never came. Luna pieces together fragments from a diary and a neighbor's hushed testimony, but the last page is blank, the chair still rocking. A slow-burn, atmospheric tale of longing, loneliness, and the cold that settles in when someone is forgotten just a little too long. #YuleWraith #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #ChristmasGhostStory #TildenVermont #WillowLane #Bell #RamseyHouse #Diary #RockingChair #Loneliness #Forgotten #DecemberDusk #Snow #DarkWoods #SmallTown #AtmosphericHorror #YuleHorror #ChristmasHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

ABOUT THIS SHOW
On the cusp of winter solstice, when the last light drains from the sky and frost webs the windowpanes, Luna sits on a snowy porch and tells the stories that gather in the dark like a Yule tide. Each episode of Yule Wraith is a self-contained tale — a folk horror for the longest night, where ancient rituals stir beneath Christmas cheer, where the wassail cup holds something older than wine, and where a wreath of yew and holly might be the only charm against what creeps through the evergreens. From a solitary farmhouse that never appears on any map, to a bell that tolls without a ringer, to a child's gift that should never be opened after midnight — these are winter solstice stories for those who know the sleigh bells can be a warning. Luna's voice is like embers in the hearth, steady and warm, but the shadows she describes shift just beyond the firelight. This is not the holiday you remember. This is the night you stay awake until dawn, curtains drawn, listening for hooves in the snow.
