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. Step closer to the flame. #WitchTrialHorror #ColonialSuperstition #PyreNight #FolkHorrorSeventeenthCentury #AccusedAndGuilty #BibleAndBrimstone #JudgmentFire #SmallTownDread #HistoricalHorror #SlowBurnNarration #LunaTells #CandlelitConfessions #SuperstitionHorror #BeliefAndFear #Horror #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror #StorytellingHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

    The Groundskeeper's Lantern at Graydon Cemetery
    May 22 2026
    October 1987. A cold autumn night in the town of Stillwater, Pennsylvania. Luna's cousin, a night-shift nurse at the county hospital, tells her about the groundskeeper of Graydon Cemetery—a man named Elias Kroft who never spoke, never blinked, and whose lantern never went out. But the real story begins the night a body was found in the cemetery, not among the graves, but sitting on the bench near the entrance, dressed in clothes from 1942, clutching a single sheet of paper with one word written on it. Luna pieces together what happened, and what she learns makes her afraid of the dark in a way she wasn't before. #GraydonCemetery #Stillwater #EliasKroft #Pennsylvania #Groundskeeper #Lantern #Cemetery #October1987 #NightShift #Nurse #BodyOnABench #OneWord #Dark #Lullaby #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #BurnedAtTheStake Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Deed to Lot Seven at Potters Field

    The Deed to Lot Seven at Potters Field
    May 20 2026
    October 1987, just outside Potters Field, Virginia. Luna’s aunt Beulah died and left her a small plot of land she never visited — a half-acre lot on the far edge of the county. When Luna drives out to see it, she finds a stone foundation half-sunk into the earth and a single blackened tree. The neighbors are quiet. The soil smells wrong. The story that comes out piece by piece, from old men and a woman with a scar on her throat, is about a house that burned with someone still inside — and about the deed that never should have been transferred. A quiet, creeping story about land that remembers. #BurnedAtTheStake #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PottersFieldVirginia #LotSeven #AuntBeulah #InheritedLand #BurntSoil #BlackenedTree #StoneFoundation #HouseFire1982 #Deed #Neighbors #ScarredWoman #OctoberNight #SmallTownSecrets #LandRemembers #SlowBurnHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Tithing House on Flintridge Road

    The Tithing House on Flintridge Road
    May 19 2026
    October 1987. A backwoods church in Colton County, Kentucky, where the offering plate is never passed. Luna's uncle served as deacon there for thirty years, and never once spoke about what happened after the final hymn. When she returns for his funeral, she finds a locked annex behind the sanctuary, a ledger full of names crossed out in red, and a cold stone room where the floor slopes toward a drain. The tithing house is still taking payments—and the debt collector does not accept cash. A story about faith, debt, and the things we give away when we think no one is listening. This episode contains themes of religious obligation and the slow horror of institutional silence. #TheTithingHouseOnFlintridgeRoad #ColtonCounty #KentuckyHorror #October1987 #FlintridgeRoad #ChurchHorror #ReligiousDebt #RedLedger #UncleDeacon #LockedAnnex #StoneRoom #Drain #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyHorror #SmallTownSecrets #DebtCollector #FinalHymn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
