Summary
It's a cold Tuesday in December, just past two in the morning. Pete, the night janitor at Oakwood Elementary, is making his rounds when he notices the playground swing moving in the still air. No wind. No kids. He goes out to investigate and finds small footprints in the frost leading from the swing to the old oak tree at the edge of the field. Under a loose root, he uncovers a tarnished locket with a faded photograph of a girl who vanished thirty years ago. He puts it back. The swing keeps swaying long after he locks up. An intimate, slow-burn ghost story about an unsolved disappearance and the quiet persistence of memory, told in Luna's hushed, candlelit register. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheLanternAnthology #LunaStories #GhostStory #SmallTownHorror #MissingChild #PlaygroundSwing #OakwoodElementary #NightJanitor #DecemberNight #UnsolvedMystery #FoundLocket #FrostFootprints #CreepyMemory #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #HauntedPlace Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
