Backwoods and Black Salt — Fexingo Horror

In a cabin at the edge of the Appalachian foothills, Luna sits at a roughhewn kitchen table, a mason jar of black salt in one hand. She sprinkles a line across the windowsill, a warding gesture older than the kerosene lamp that flickers beside a faded hex sign on the cabinet. Each episode of Backwoods and Black Salt is a self-contained story pulled from the dirt roads and hollows where folk magic meets raw survival. These are tales of crossroads bargains, milk-sick houses, and the things that rattle the horseshoe above the door. Luna speaks in a hush, as if the walls themselves might listen. The unifying thread is place — a specific, rooted dread that comes from knowing the land remembers what you forgot. No wraparound arc, no recurring characters; just a collection of whispered chronicles from a world where black salt is both remedy and boundary. Open the jar and listen, but mind the line. #AppalachianHorror #FolkMagic #BlackSalt #HexSign #SmallTownHorror #BackwoodsTerror #CabinHorror #RuralDread #CryptidEncounters #MountainFolklore #WardingStories #SlowBurnHorror #FolkHorror #AnthologyPodcast #LunaNarrates #Horror #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The Herd at Blackwater Bend

    The Herd at Blackwater Bend
    May 27 2026
    In the autumn of 1987, Luna's uncle bought a small herd of cattle from a farm off a dirt road called Blackwater Bend, deep in the Missouri Ozarks. The cows were healthy, the price too low, and the previous owner vanished without a forwarding address. Within a week, the cattle began to change—not in body but in behavior. They stopped eating, then stopped sleeping. They stood in a tight circle at the center of the pasture, heads low, facing inward, silent. No lowing, no movement, just the wet sound of their breathing. Luna drove out to help her uncle, and what she saw in the middle of that ring of cattle still makes her reach for the black salt when the sun goes down. This is a story about the wrong bargain, the kind you make without knowing you've made it, and the debt that follows. #BackwoodsAndBlackSalt #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BlackwaterBend #MissouriOzarks #Cattle #Autumn1987 #TheWrongBargain #Debt #BlackSalt #Uncle #Pasture #Circle #Silence #Breathing #FolkHorror #RuralHorror #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Gatekeeper of Potter's Ford

    The Gatekeeper of Potter's Ford
    May 26 2026
    In the autumn of 1987, Luna visits the dying hamlet of Potter's Ford, West Virginia, drawn by rumors of a woman who tends a bridge no one crosses. The town's only remaining resident, an old woman named Hattie, maintains a rusted iron gate on a washed-out road — not to keep people out, but to keep something from following them home. Luna helps Hattie reset the wards after a hard rain, and sees the footprints that appear on the damp concrete by dawn. A quiet meditation on borders, on the things we hold at bay, and the small, thankless work of keeping the world whole. #Potter'sFord #Hattie #Gatekeeper #IronGate #Wards #BackwoodsAndBlackSalt #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #WestVirginia #Autumn1987 #SmallTownHorror #Folklore #BorderKeeping #TheWeightOfPlace #Luna #Conjure #SlowBurn #Atmospheric Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    The Bell Ringer at Witch Creek Station
    May 25 2026
    October 1987. A two-room depot outside Proctor, Arkansas. A man named Hollis Pickett has kept the schedule for forty-two years—until the 2:17 a.m. rattler starts running again. Luna sits with him one cold night and learns why he won't look out the window after the last train passes. What comes through Witch Creek Station doesn't need tracks. It just needs someone to hear it coming. #WitchCreekStation #HollisPickett #ProctorArkansas #ghosttrain #October1987 #signalbell #rattler217 #trackwalker #lanternlight #blacksalt #backwoodsandblacksalt #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #southernGothic #railroadhorror #thebellringer #standaloneepisode #lunanarrates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
