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 Payphone at Benton's Grocery","slug":"the-night-she-watched-the-payphone-at-benton-s-grocery","published_at":"2026-06-27T16:16:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-from-the-cold-room-fexingo-horror-7913012/the-night-she-watched-the-payphone-at-benton-s-grocery","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-0054.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/tales-from-the-cold-room/episode-0054.mp3","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","meta_description":"June 1987, just past midnight, in the parking lot of Benton's Grocery outside Hargrove, Illinois.
