Each episode of The Lantern Anthology is a self-contained tale drawn from a fictional collection of lost and forbidden literature — forgotten folklore, abandoned manuscripts, letters never sent. The stories wander through isolated farmhouses at dusk, towns swallowed by forest, and roads that appear only on maps no one remembers drawing. Some whisper of bargains made with creatures beneath the floorboards; others speak of inheritances that should have been refused. There is no single arc, only the quiet certainty that the next story might be the one that follows you home. Luna's voice is a low, unhurried presence, as if she knows you are listening in the dark. Settle in. The lamp is lit, and the pages are turning. #TheLanternAnthology #LanternStories #AtmosphericHorror #FolkloreHorror #ForgottenTales #LostLiterature #CandlelitHorror #IsolatedHorror #RuralDread #StorybookHorror #NarratedHorror #FictionalFolklore #AbandonedPlaces #MidnightReading #CreepyTales #Horror #HorrorPodcast #StorytellingHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.co…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T08:18:15.159395+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468"},"episode":{"title":"The Night the Abandoned Church Bells Rang at Midnight in Mercy Falls","slug":"the-night-the-abandoned-church-bells-rang-at-midnight-in-mercy-falls","published_at":"2026-07-03T16:52:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468/the-night-the-abandoned-church-bells-rang-at-midnight-in-mercy-falls","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-lantern-anthology-fexingo-horror-7868468","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/the-lantern-anthology/episode-0060.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/horror/the-lantern-anthology/episode-0060.mp3","summary":"Mercy Falls, Ohio. A town so quiet the only sound after dark is the creek. I spent a summer there cataloging old records for the historical society, and every Wednesday I'd walk past the First Baptist Church—boarded up since '78. The bells never rang. Until one night in August, midnight, they did. I found the door unlocked, the pews empty, and a single candle burning on the altar. The bells were swinging on their own. Someone—something—was waiting in the bell tower. What I found up there changed how I hear silence forever. This is a story about echoes, faith, and the toll a place can take on a person. #MercyFalls #AbandonedChurch #BellTower #Midnight #AugustHeat #SmallTownOhio #HistoricalSociety #Candle #Echoes #Faith #TheLanternAnthology #FexingoHorror #HorrorStory #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #BellRinging #Unresolved #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Mercy Falls, Ohio.
