Summary
June 1987, just past midnight, in the parking lot of Benton's Grocery outside Hargrove, Illinois. Luna's car won't start, and the only working payphone for miles sits under a buzzing fluorescent light. She calls for a tow, but the phone rings back — and the voice on the other end knows things it shouldn't. A story about the last payphone in a dying town, the crackling line that connects the living to the dead, and what happens when you answer a call that was never meant for you. #Payphone #BentonsGrocery #HargroveIllinois #June1987 #Midnight #TowTruck #FluorescentLight #CracklingLine #WrongNumber #DeadVoices #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TalesFromTheColdRoom #LunaNarrates #SmallTown #Unresolved #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
