Luna stands in a stone cellar beneath an old house, where a brass candleholder casts shadows on walls that breathe with damp and memory. Each episode of Tales from the Cold Room is a standalone story whispered from that liminal space — not ghost stories in the traditional sense, but accounts of what lingers when the body fails and the soul refuses to leave. Here, a mortician finds a corpse whose eyes follow him. A child's voice echoes from a sealed well. A woman receives letters from her own gravestone. These are quiet horrors, intimate and slow, rooted in the ache of loss and the weight of unfinished business. Luna's voice is the only constant, a guide through doorways that should stay shut. The cold room is not a place of rest; it is a waiting room for tales that demand to be told. Each story stands alone, but together they form a mosaic of grief, memory, and the thin places where the veil frays. Enter if you dare — but know that the cold will follow you home. #ColdRoomHorror #CellarStories #LunaNarrates #GhostTales #Mortality #GriefHorror #LiminalSpace #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #StandaloneHorror #Anthology #NarratedHorror #Hor…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T08:18:44.043043+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-from-the-cold-room-fexingo-horror-7913012"},"episode":{"title":"The Night She Watched the Chimney at the Hoke House","slug":"the-night-she-watched-the-chimney-at-the-hoke-house","published_at":"2026-07-09T16:50:26+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-from-the-cold-room-fexingo-horror-7913012/the-night-she-watched-the-chimney-at-the-hoke-house","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-from-the-cold-room-fexingo-horror-7913012","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/tales-from-the-cold-room/episode-0066.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/tales-from-the-cold-room/episode-0066.mp3","summary":"It's late autumn, 1987, in the little town of Gretna, Illinois, and I ended up at the old Hoke House—a place kids dared each other to touch, not enter. I was there to check on a friend of a friend, a woman named Miriam who'd moved in alone after her husband died. She'd been calling the station with complaints about a knocking in the walls. Nothing structural, she said. It came from inside the brickwork. The chimney, she thought. But the chimney was sealed off years ago. When I got there, the house was cold, the kind of cold that settles in your bones. Miriam showed me the marks—scratches on the plaster, fine and deliberate, appearing overnight. She'd tried covering them with paint. They bled through. I sat with her through the first night, and by morning I understood what the knocking was. It wasn't coming from inside the walls. It was coming from inside the flue. And whatever was in there, it had been waiting a very long time. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TalesFromTheColdRoom #TheNightSheWatched #HokeHouse #GretnaIllinois #AutumnHorror #SmallTownHorror #Chimney #Brickwork #Knocking #Miriam #HauntedHouse #SealedChimney #BleedingThroughPaint #ColdRoom #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"It's late autumn, 1987, in the little town of Gretna, Illinois, and I ended up at the old Hoke House—a place kids dared each other to touch, not enter.
