In a candlelit colonial room, Luna opens a leather-bound Bible stained with soot. Outside the window, a bonfire pierces the night — a pyre for the guilty, or the innocent. Burned at the Stake is an anthology of quiet, slow-burn horror set in early America and parallel worlds of paranoia and faith. Each self-contained episode follows a different soul caught between superstition and truth: a midwife accused of witchcraft, a farmer whose livestock speaks in tongues, a pastor who hears the forest praying back. Luna's voice, hushed and grave, draws you into these confessions — whispered across a wooden table, a tankard of ale untouched. The unifying thread is fire: literal, metaphorical, the fire of belief and the fire of judgment that consumes without asking. These are not jump-scare tales but dread-soaked meditations on what people do when they believe God is watching — and what they do when they believe He isn't. No episode requires prior knowledge; each is a closed door you enter alone. But once inside, the smell of smoke lingers long after the story ends.

  • The Woman Who Burned at the Crossroads

    The Woman Who Burned at the Crossroads
    Jun 6 2026
    October 1897. Luna visits the crossroads outside Millbrook, New York, where a woman was burned alive fifty years earlier. The fire was a punishment for a crime no one will name. Luna meets an old man who remembers the night, and he tells her what the woman said as the flames rose—words that still echo through the dirt and gravel of that lonely intersection. A story about what we do to people we don't understand, and what the land remembers when we forget. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BurnedAtTheStake #Crossroads #MillbrookNY #October1897 #WitchBurning #Witness #Luna #ColonialHorror #SmallTownHorror #HistoricalHorror #Folklore #TheBurningWoman #GravelRoad #Autumn #LanternLight #Unresolved Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Bridge at Swift Hollow

    The Bridge at Swift Hollow
    Jun 5 2026
    October 1987, just outside the town of Swift Hollow, New Hampshire. A narrow iron bridge over the Swift River, known locally as a spot where kids dare each other to walk to the middle and call out for the girl who drowned there in 1923. I went there one night with a stranger I met at a diner. He had a reason. He had a name he wanted me to hear. By the time I understood what he was doing, the river had already answered. This is what happened after midnight on the bridge at Swift Hollow. #BridgeAtSwiftHollow #SwiftHollow #NewHampshire #SwiftRiver #Drowning #1923 #October1987 #Midnight #Dare #IronBridge #CallingOut #River #Stranger #Diner #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Stonemason on Founders Lane

    The Stonemason on Founders Lane
    Jun 4 2026
    In the autumn of 1901, in the small Vermont town of Millbrook, a stonemason named Elias Thorne was hired to carve the headstone for a young woman who died under mysterious circumstances. The stone was delivered, but the name carved into it was not the one agreed upon. Luna recounts her grandmother's encounter with Elias, a quiet man whose hands worked stone but whose eyes held something older than grief. As winter closed in, the mason's cottage on Founders Lane became a place the town learned to avoid. This is a story about the weight of names, the permanence of stone, and what it means when the dead begin to answer to a name not their own. Set against the chill of a New England autumn, it is a meditation on legacy, guilt, and the faint sound of chisel on marble long after the work should have stopped. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BurnedAtTheStake #MillbrookVermont #FoundersLane #EliasThorne #Stonemason #Headstone #WrongName #Autumn1901 #GraniteAndGrief #TheWeightOfNames #ChiselInTheDark #NewEnglandHorror #FolkHorror #SlowBurnHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SolitaryNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
