  We study spinning particle/defect geometries in the context of
AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. These solutions lie below the BTZ threshold, and can be
obtained from identifications of AdS$_3$. We construct the Feynman propagator
by solving the bulk equation of motion in the spinning particle geometry,
summing over the modes of the fields and passing to the boundary. The
quantization of the scalar fields becomes challenging when confined to the
regions that are causally well-behaved. If the region containing closed
timelike curves (CTCs) is included, the normalization of the scalar fields
enjoys an analytical simplification and the propagator can be expressed as an
infinite sum over image geodesics. In the dual CFT$_2$, the propagator can be
recast as the HHLL four-point function, where by taking into account the $PSL
(2,\mathbb{Z})$ modular images, we recover the bulk computation. We comment on
the casual behavior of bulk geometries associated with single-trace operators
of spin scaling with the central charge below the BTZ threshold.
