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 Switch at Shiloh Junction","slug":"the-night-she-watched-the-switch-at-shiloh-junction","published_at":"2026-06-30T16:29:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tales-from-the-cold-room-fexingo-horror-7913012/the-night-she-watched-the-switch-at-shiloh-junction","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-0057.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/tales-from-the-cold-room/episode-0057.mp3","summary":"November 1987. Luna's father worked the graveyard shift at the railroad crossing in Shiloh, a two-stoplight town in central Illinois where the trains never stopped running. After he died, she took his place for one night—just to see what he saw. The crossing guard's shack is a rusted box on concrete blocks, lit by a single bulb that buzzes when the 3:17 freight comes through. That night, a train passed at 3:17. Then another at 3:19. Then one at 3:22, silent except for the hiss of brakes. Luna watched the crossing gates lower for a train that never arrived, and she learned why her father kept a shotgun under the bench. #ShilohJunction #Illinois #RailroadCrossing #GraveyardShift #Train #CrossingGuard #1987 #SmallTown #Father #LunaNarrates #HushedDread #WhatWasOnTheTracks #OpenGate #Shotgun #TheOneThatFliesLow #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TalesFromTheColdRoom Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"November 1987.
