Summary
In August of 1996, my cousin Claire spent a single night at the Pine Ridge Motel off Route 9 in western Massachusetts. She was driving back to college early, trying to beat the heat, and she picked a place that looked cheap and quiet. But the room they gave her, number 14, had a deadbolt on the inside that didn't match the key. And the woman at the front desk kept saying the same thing: 'Don't open the door after midnight, not for anyone, not even if they say they're me.' Claire promised she wouldn't. What she heard at 2:47 AM made her break that promise. This is what she told me the next morning, shaking, with the key still in her pocket, because she never checked out. #PineRidgeMotel #Route9 #Claire #August1996 #Key #Room14 #Deadbolt #Midnight #FrontDesk #Promise #WesternMassachusetts #SmallTown #Cousin #SleeplessNight #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BoundInBlack #SoloNarrated Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
