Fear Filled Fridays (5/25/2018): The Attic
The room is cold,
no light filters into the gloom.
A quiet abandoned place,
dark, full of doom.
Footsteps echo,
walking across the floor.
I listen to them move,
as they reach the attic door.
The door opens,
closes back.
Footsteps on the stairs,
on a downward track.
I crawl inside my covers,
listen as the steps draw near.
Should I run?
Should I hide?
The covers shift,
the ghost is by my side.

Fear Filled Fridays (5/18/2018): The Rocking Chair
As the rocking chair creaks,
I lie awake in bed,
with images of ghosts,
dancing in my head.
Why is the rocking chair moving?
Who or what is in the chair?
Rocking all night long,
without a single care.

Voices of the dead
I can hear you loud and clear
Talking through machines

Fear Filled Fridays (3/23/2018): Ghost Hunter and the EVP
I hear dead people,
talking through machines.
I hear dead people,
talking crisp and clean.

Fear Filled Fridays (3/16/2018): Ghosts of Antarctica
Frozen land, far from site.
Do you know there are ghosts down there?
From companies long abandoned,
and ships that have washed aground,
leaving restless souls from bodies never found.
Who knew that cold world was so active?
With spirit life.
Who knew the dead?
Walk.
Night after night.

Fear Filled Fridays (3/9/2018): Noises in the Night

Something in the attic dark
Stirring all about

Fear Filled Fridays (1/26/2018): The Lamp
Haunted?
Cursed.
Trapped?
Inside.
∞
The lamp – the object,
is cursed.
We’ve seen it turn on.
Hidden in the attic.
Sitting all alone.
No current, no electricity.
Does the spirit linger?
In objects,
once the body passes on.
Forever – eternal.
Never truly gone.
Do objects have a special place?
Some residual energy.
Do objects hold the key?
To all the spirits you hear and see.

Fear Filled Fridays (1/12/2018): Haunted
Hear the eerie wind whistle, across the cold dark night,
see the unknown figure, float into sight.
Slowly it drifts, pale and transparent.
It stops and looks at me.
I look at it.
Its eyes are not there, only sockets full of despair.
A smile rises across its face,
the grin is pure evil and full of pain,
it raises an arm and points to the right,
towards the graveyard just out of sight.
I freeze at the window and shake at the knees.
A cold sweat creeps down my back, just like I’m under attack.
I scream at the top of my lungs, “Go away leave me alone!”
It drops its arm and dissolves with a cold chilly laugh.

I don’t know if you guys watch any of those reality based ghost shows or not, but my favorite of the bunch is “Ghost Adventures.”
Is it real? Is it fake? Who really knows.
Personally, I do think they occasionally catch something, but not nearly as much as they claim. Sometimes, just a little too much happens, but it is entertaining to watch. During their first season (the earlier episodes seem to be more legit) they supposedly caught something big on camera. To me, it looks pretty authentic, hard to fake, but again it is a reality based show about ghosts. Here’s the video. You guys let me know, real or fake?

Haiku – Disembodied
In an empty house
Booming dark voice calls to me
An echoing sound
+
My 2-year-old son inspired this one. For some reason echos shake him up. He will come out of a room and say something like “echo hear,” and of course the writer in me sparks up. How can I turn this into something scary? This Haiku came to mind. Happy early Halloween!
One of my favorite scary movies! I thought I would post another scene from “The Changeling.”
