Midnight Hauntings of Old Man Turner's House
Midnight Hauntings Of Old Man Turner's House
Daylight's silver fingers haunt the old home
Ghosts stay there haunting and at night they roam
So eerie when they together loud moan
And spill warm warm red blood on the blood stone
We as kids would not go there on a dare
In that evil place rest scariest scares
Rumor is Jack got caught when he fell down
Never seen again in our little town
Kenny went there and he came back a mute
Mike promise he would go and that ghost shoot
Nobody goes there neither boy or man
Adults now we laugh at all those old scary days
Would I go there now, I shall simply refuse say?
Robert J. Lindley, dark sonnet
Feb.13th, 1972
Note --
Years since my writing this and the old house has been torn down since the late 1980's..
I do wonder often, where those ghosts had to go?
Do you believe in ghosts. I've had friends that say they do because they
have actually seen them!
