Certain Feeling About This Place

The house had not had inhabitants for forty years maybe longer; people complained that it was haunted. The house was in disrepair, falling apart inside, sad and lonely From grief and heartache Few heard her moans or night creaks now. One day a great-great-granddaughter asked if she could have the house. The rest of the family gave her a hearty yes. Except for one Great-aunt who demanded some money. She gave her what she had, and moved in She loved the house. She found charm and beauty Among the spider webs and the yellowed newspapers She discovered character and loveliness There was a certain feeling about the place She felt overjoyed, she felt loved, she felt protected, she felt home Not realizing that her great-great-grandmother recognized her and allowed her to stay Without any spookiness knowing she would restore her home to the beauty she used to be.

Lovely! Our B&B was filled with spirits, and we were friendly with all of them. I loved it. (See my poem "Our Spectral Guest")
