Ghost Hunt

Psychosomatic fanatic
operating on a different static.

Sonar Radiation
Looking for the ghastly nation

Inner electric connective 
inspiring the collective.

Vigilant treading
On creaky wood worth dreading
Where are they heading?

Fruitless investigation
Dwindling anticipation.

Doubtful introspection
Are they forcing the connection?
Is this deflection?

Truthful evidential sound,
The afterlife they’ve surely found

Audible becomes nearer
Screaming from the fear or
A reflection passing in the mirror!

I had a smile on my face through this entire read, Robert. I have seen the "Ghost Hunter" shows on TV and sometimes I think they are "forcing the connection," but who's to say what is real. Clever wording and a witty air make this a first-class entry for Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
