A flash of bright white
Splitting open the darkness
Creating a chill
A flash of bright white
Splitting open the darkness
Creating a chill
Silver handle clicks
Hinges screaming in the night
Door slowly opens
🎃
Something standing there
It smells of earth and decay
Red eyes glowing bright
🎃
It cackles loudly
Piercing the silence of night
Vanishes slowly
The shuffling of feet
Something moves in night’s black veil
Stirring restlessly
Opening his eyes
Something in the dark staring
While he is sleeping
☠️
Man screams in terror
The shape slowly dissipates
Red eyes lingering
Giggles of laughter
Disembodied and evil
Piercing the darkness
☠️
Drifting down the hall
Lonely spirit still haunting
A now empty house
Frozen in terror
Entity staring at her
Eyes full of darkness
In the dark of night
Downstairs, ghostly footsteps stride
Echoing loudly
Standing on the bridge
A man in old ancient clothes
Hauntingly he waits
Dark house on the hill
Windows broken, door ajar
Creaks and moans abound
Chains rattling loudly
Spooky ghost roaming the halls
Footsteps echoing
Upon a dark road
Big house sitting all alone
Ghosts roaming its halls
+
Floorboards creaking loud
Ghost hunter turning to look
Frozen in terror
A lonely dark house
Sitting vacant and alone
Haunted by spirits
Shimmering softly
A figure in ancient clothes
Floating at the door
Rapping on the wall
Smiling as I tap the beat
Something just knocked back
The image flickers
Something moving in the room
White and transparent
Boards creaking loudly
Ghostly steps on basement stairs
Spirit ascending
The spirit drifts – moves
Transparent nighttime motion
While the world slumbers

(pen and ink provided by my wife)
It was there,
just at the corner,
a twinkle,
a flash,
something quick,
fading out of sight.
Tick, tock, tick – night time
The hallway floor creaks softly
Footsteps in the dark
