## Resource

Luna tells the story of a winter night in 1998 when she helped her aunt, a funeral home director in Ridgewood, with an unusual preparation. A woman had died in her sleep, peaceful and young, but when Luna saw her, the body seemed wrong—the mouth slightly open, the fingers curled, as if mid-sentence. Then she noticed the stitches on the inside of the lip, neat and black. Her aunt said it was standard procedure. But that night, Luna heard a faint whisper from the cold room, a voice saying the same two words over and over. She never went back. A quiet, unsettling episode about what the dead might try to say and what we do to keep them silent. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #FuneralHome #Ridgewood #Embalming #Stitches #Whispers #DeadWoman #January1998 #Mortuary #Luna #BoundInBlack #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #GriefHorror #UnheardVoices #NightShift #SmallTownHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
