Feed Drop - The Cellar Letters
After a series of traumatic events, including losing his job, Nate and his dog Bella move across country to the East Coast. Nate documents the whole process, as he seeks to try something new and have a fresh start.
The new house appears perfect: huge, loads of room, a yard for Bella to run in… and the rent is unbelievably low. But there’s something not quite right. The house feels… off. Knocking noises in the nighttime, and a locked room in the basement, filled with letters about strange occurrences and ghostly figures.
Who wrote the letters? And why are they all stored in the cellar? Join Nate, his dog, and his friend Steve as they search for answers.

Greetings, gentlemen and gentle ladies from hell.
Today we'd like to showcase a great audio drama created by Jamie Petronas called The Cellar Letters.
Something is waiting in the dark below.
When Nate moves into a strange old house, he discovers a series of letters hidden deep in its cellar.
Letters that whisper of rituals, disappearances, and spectral figures.
Step inside the Cellar Letters, a found footage horror podcast where every creak of the floorboards hides a secret and every voice on the tape may hide horrors not meant to be heard.
Listen before the cellar door closes.
Check it out on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you find your podcasts.
And as always, enjoy the show.
Hey guys.
Okay, that was...
Hey guys.
God, what am I the fucking crewkeeper?
Hey guys, how's it going?
Here we go.
That's the one.
Anyway, so you're probably wondering what this whole
thing is.
So, I'm currently in the middle of a move out to the East Coast with a friend of mine.
And as luck would have it I'm one of the millions of people that is currently unemployed because of this fucking pandemic
Now I'm sure it goes without saying but I'm about to have way
way too much free time on my hands
So I asked myself
self
What are you gonna do with yourself?
So I started brainstorming I could make an Instagram for my dog People love dogs.
She'll get a chewy sponsorship.
It'll be great.
I could make a TikTok,
but I definitely can't dance, and I promise you that nobody's going to want to see me throw it back.
Nobody.
So this, my friends, is option three.
I'm making a podcast slash audio diary thing.
And honestly, I'm not even really sure what it...
what it is we're going to be talking about on this thing.
It could be just me and Steve rambling on and on about movies or games or music or...
Nah, whatever.
You get the point.
You.
Who am I even talking to here?
Odds are the only people that'll end up listening to this are my family and friends.
Honestly, there are worse things I could be spending my time on.
Like I said, I could be throwing it back and you would be throwing it up.
Well, mom, dad, and
other assorted family members, stick around because I promise that I'm going to take this whole podcast thing way, way too seriously
because this is the
the um
I Don't have a name for this thing yet, so we can fill in the blank later
Anyway, uh
format wise I'm basically just gonna click record anytime a new thought or idea pops into my head
That can definitely be a good or bad idea depending on the thought, but we're just gonna roll it
all right well uh i will talk to you all later love you bye
what up just uh checking in to let you all know and you heard it here first i absolutely hate packing i hate it I literally leave tomorrow and I feel like I have almost nothing done.
Even though right now, right in front of me, I see boxes and boxes
and boxes.
A bag, and uh, oh, look, what's that?
That, my dear listeners, is
a box.
Terrific.
I've got to finish this up.
All right, later.
Good morning, everybody.
To reiterate what I said last night, packing sucks, but the deed is done.
The car is loaded up, and I'm good to go.
Just gotta grab the dog and head out.
For those of you that can't see her, which you know is all of you, my dog's a little cutie.
She's a 45-ish-pound Aussie named Bella.
And no, before you ask, she isn't named after that girl from Twilight.
She's named after the girl from New Moon.
There's a difference.
Dean Edward.
Say hi, Bella.
Say hi.
Yeah, worth a shot.
Well, I'm out of here.
I'll check in with you guys when I'm settled in the new house.
Bye.
So I lied to you guys.
I'm not at the house yet.
But I started thinking, I haven't even told you all about the house yet.
So it's honestly a pretty sick situation.
I was on Zillow one night, which I honestly do way too often, just dreaming about where I'll go and what I'll do once all this craziness is over.
And then I saw it.
An opportunity that was way too good to pass up.
Okay, get this.
A four-bedroom, two-bath house, fully furnished, attic, basement, and a big green yard for Bella to run around.
And honestly,
even without my friends splitting the rent, it would be completely doable alone.
Seriously, it would be stupid not to do it.
That's weird.
Anyway, I'm getting there a few days early to scope everything out and get Bella acclimated to the place.
I don't think Steve will be too far behind me though.
Alright, this time, for real, the next time you hear from me, I will definitely, most likely be in the house.
Okay.
Say bye, Bella.
Say.
Say bye.
Bye.
Guys.
This place is...
It's nuts.
Honestly, I don't even know where to start.
It's huge.
It's gonna be perfect for having people over when
when we can legally have people over again.
And my bedroom is fucking massive.
So much room for activities.
That's a bad joke, but uh yeah, it's it's big
Seriously whoever let go of this house is an idiot
Anyway, I am beat.
I'm going to unpack a bit and then pass out.
Good night.
Okay, I have no idea what's going on.
It's like
3 a.m.
and I keep hearing this weird knocking noise coming from downstairs.
I don't know if the mic's gonna pick it up, but let's see.
Figures, now that I start recording, there's nothing going on.
That's annoying.
Anyway, I'm just gonna go back to bed.
Good night.
Hey, coming at you live from the new house.
There's absolutely nothing going on.
Haven't heard the knocking since last night.
Honestly, it was probably just the pipes or something.
Well, seeing seeing as there's nothing going on and Steve is nowhere to be found, I'm just gonna go.
Okay, catch you later.
Bye.
Okay, I really need to find a way to have this damn thing record every time it picks up a sound.
So I'm sitting here on TikTok and I hear this fucking banging again.
It's every few seconds.
It's really faint, but uh.
okay, I'm gonna google it.
I'm sure there's a way to set this thing.
I really need to clean my browser history.
Oh,
that was fast, and I'm an idiot.
It's literally in the options: active recording, check.
Shouldn't be able to pick up that damn knocking now.
Alright.
Hey guys, I just listened to that recording from last night and honestly, I
have no idea what that was.
Honestly, getting a little creeped out here.
I don't know.
I'm going to give the landlord a call to
see if it's some kind of plumbing thing.
Okay.
It's ringing.
Hey, hey Jim, how's it going?
I'm good.
I'm good.
I actually have a question about the place.
So I've been hearing this weird noise every night.
I think it might be a pipe or something.
Do you know anything about that?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, well, thank you.
Um,
if I have any more questions, I'll let you know.
Thanks.
Bye.
Alright, so
that was
kind of weird.
All he said was, yeah, no, it's fine, don't worry about that.
Not really sure how to take that.
Okay, so I know literally nothing about plumbing, but I'm gonna go in the basement.
See if I can find whatever's making that noise.
Yay.
Wish me luck.
Okay, cool.
So the light doesn't work, so
I'll just use my phone.
First things first, it is uncomfortably dark down here.
So this will be Steve's room.
Looking at the pipes, I'm
not really seeing anything.
Don't really know what to look for.
I'm just looking at pipes.
Wait.
What is that?
That's weird.
Jim didn't say anything about another room down here.
Okay, there's just more darkness and more pipes.
Not really seeing what the issue could be.
Okay, I'm gonna go upstairs.
Hold on, Bella, I'm coming.
Okay, it's weird that Jim never mentioned the extra room in the basement, right?
Hmm.
Okay,
I'm gonna go down there.
Okay,
still uh still really dark down here.
That's fantastic.
The door's locked, so I'm gonna
use my handy-dandy screwdriver and try and get in there.
Wish me luck.
That's
it's really weird
There's um there's just a wall of file cabinets
Let's open one up
Jesus, there's some rows and rows of letters here like like hundreds of them.
I'm going to take a few of these upstairs.
I'll be right back.
Okay, so this, um,
this letter is really, really weird.
So, there's number eight on it at the top, and it says, um,
134 West Valley Road.
I'm just gonna read it.
I think she's getting closer.
I'm seeing her more and more lately.
When I'm walking to the kitchen,
when I'm heading to bed.
She's there.
She always looks the same.
Pale.
White gown that looks like it's from a different time.
Deep, dark eyes.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
I'm scared.
I think I'm even starting to hear her.
It sounds like she...
Like she needs help.
That was fucking weird.
I'm just gonna assume that the eight means there are more of these.
Yeah, I'm not even gonna bother asking Jim about anything downstairs because clearly he has no idea what the fuck is going on.
Yeah, I'm not going down there again today.
I'm a little freaked out.
Okay, so guys, I'm gonna go to bed with the lights on and I will talk to you later.
Good night.
