A Beautiful Night For a Haunting

Its a beautiful night for a haunting
The witch cat on the prowl.
The bumbling wind an echo as the coyotes start to howl.

The creatures come out of hiding.
Theres a tension in the air.
The street lights all a flicker.
The warning here beware

The shadows reach out 
and grab you. 
The trees give out a moan.
 Better watch out behind you.
 Its likely you arent alone.

Off in the distance, a owl lets
 out a screech.
Making you aware that
 all of the rules are breach.

So stay inside your house, 
dont open up the door.
Better hope it not you.
That they are looking for.

Its a beautiful night for
 a haunting.
Keep all the ghosts in sight.
The silence is talking. 
Its going to be a long, long night.
