I'll get us started:
I'll get us started:
In the house that grandpa left me,
I am wandering down a hallway.
Paintings stare at me like judgmental strangers.
I hear a knock on the wall behind me.
Empty house, so what’s the danger?
I heard it loud, I heard it once.
“Who’s there?” I ask,
But no response.
Knock-knock I hear again.
The rattling of the candle sconce.
Now I am officially scared.
“Who’s there?” I ask,
But no response.
This night it seems will get much worse,
Who knows what ghoul this house does haunt?
In fear of this apparent curse,
“Be gone!” I say,
But no response.
Sheriff comes the morning after to investigate a few reports.
“What happened here?” his deputy asks him.
“No idea” the sheriff retorts.
He hears a voice from deep inside.
“Whose voice is that?” he asks just once.
“Are you alive?” he calls out, panicked.
Sadly, though, there’s no response.
