Demon Cursed House
A young family entered their new home
A beautiful house, seemingly a steal
Went on sale just weeks before they found it
They immediately jumped on this deal
Their furniture was already shipped here
Waiting for them to move right on inside
They never questioned why the price’s so low
But they found out who will surely abide
Family goes to lay down that first night
Looking for a nice quiet, peaceful sleep
Right after the couple’s eyes closed they found
Sounds scraping and hearing a baby weep
The father gets up to check the noises
And walks down the hall to the children’s room
They were all asleep, but a noise wakes them
All of them walk the hallway into doom
In front of them a demon walks the floor
With a crooked, wry smile on his dark face
A noise behind them shows some human ghosts
They surely wanted to run from this space
The family screams as they close their eyes
Then the sounds abruptly vanish near them
They look around, the daylight filters in
They all are wishing this house to condemn
Frantically they get ready to leave
As the father is packing his suitcase
He notices a photo on the wall
Not of his family, it’s an old face
When he looked closely fear enveloped him
Seems they are the fearful ghosts from last night
Demon was the old man in the picture
They are still afraid even in the light
Surely knowing now why the house’s so cheap
They ran fast as they could away from there
Never to look back at this evil house
Let someone else live with this intense scare
