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 Cradle at Haver's Gap
    Jun 30 2026
    August 1994, a dry summer on the edge of the Monongahela. A woman named Cora Peele watches her neighbor's baby for a weekend and notices the child won't stop staring at the far wall of the spare room. The staring is constant. The smile is wrong. And the marks on the wallpaper — they weren't there when she painted the room in June. Luna tells the story of something that nested behind the plaster of a rented farmhouse, and the one question no one wanted to answer: what does a six-month-old know that we've forgotten? #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BackwoodsAndBlackSalt #LunaReads #AppalachianHorror #HauntedNursery #BabyWatch #CreepingDread #CoraPeele #HaversGap #Monongahela #August1994 #Wallpaper #Staring #Lullaby #SomethingInTheWall #RentedFarmhouse #Listening Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Painting at Cold Creek Chapel

    The Painting at Cold Creek Chapel
    Jun 29 2026
    October 2021. Cold Creek, West Virginia. A traveling artist named Mariel rents the abandoned chapel at the edge of town for a month-long residency. She paints what she sees — the bent iron fence, the stained-glass rose window, the hollow where the altar used to stand. But by the third week, she starts painting something else. Something that watches from the corner of the canvas. Something that moves between brushstrokes. Luna was there the night Mariel locked herself inside, and she's been trying to unsee what she saw through the cracked window ever since. This is not a story about a haunted painting. It's about the thing that taught itself to paint back. #ColdCreekChapel #Mariel #ThePainting #Oildark #October2021 #WestVirginia #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BackwoodsAndBlackSalt #HauntedArt #Chapel #Residency #RoseWindow #Gesso #LunaNarrates #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Cistern at Flagg's End

    The Cistern at Flagg's End
    Jun 28 2026
    In the late autumn of 1997, on a dead-end road in Hickory Ridge, West Virginia, a woman named Eloise Flagg called the county about the smell coming from her cistern. By the time Luna arrived with a flashlight and a crowbar, the water had already started whispering. This is a story about what lives in the dark when the dark has nowhere else to go. About a concrete tank sunk into the bedrock behind a falling-down farmhouse. About the thing that came up the pipe, piece by piece, over three nights. And about what Eloise said to it, sitting cross-legged on the linoleum floor at two in the morning, when she finally understood it wasn't trying to hurt her—it was trying to show her something. A quiet, slow-burn episode about silence, patience, and the kind of hunger that doesn't have a mouth. #BackwoodsAndBlackSalt #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheCisternAtFlaggEnd #HickoryRidge #WestVirginia #LunaNarrates #RuralHorror #SlowBurnHorror #Cistern #WellWater #DeepEarth #Whispers #AutumnHorror #FolkHorror #AppalachianHorror #SilenceAndHunger #SomethingInTheDark Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
