Summary
Winter 1994 at the Gilchrist House, a boarded-up Victorian on the outskirts of Bellbrook, Ohio. Luna's friend Claire took a job as a fire watch on the night crew, following a string of suspicious arsons in the county. It was meant to be boring—eight hours in a folding chair, a thermos of coffee, a radio. But the fire she was supposed to watch for found her from the inside. This episode is about the smell of gasoline on a cold night. The way a locked room can get warm without a source. The voice that came through the static on channel 19, asking if she was awake. Claire stopped talking about it after she quit. But she wrote it all down first, in a notebook she left at Luna's apartment with a page torn out. Luna reads from that notebook tonight. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TalesFromTheColdRoom #Luna #AnthologyHorror #FireWatch #BellbrookOhio #GilchristHouse #Claire #Channel19 #Gasoline #Winter1994 #BoardedUpVictorian #Static #LockedRoom #QuietHorror #AtmosphericStory #SleepParalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
