Ghosts of the Night

In dampness of night
Ghosts play in the candlelight
Their shrieks cloud the sky
They have translucent bodies
To move in and out of things

Ghosts stirring around
Carrying with them great fear
That moves them forward
Screaming with your heart inside
Laughing at your awesome fear

I never had a visit from one Rusty but your ghosts seem like they would be fun toknow. There's still time to be haunted! :)

my ghosts were friendly not, stood round me bed forget me, got, when i blocked em out those few, shut off the third eye view, didna want them hot-en-tots "GOOGLE EDGAR CAYCE the American Prophet. search green glass for more info... The green glass filters out the harmful radiation and lets the healing rays through.. Im also trying 20% ultraviolet green window tape...so i can nap in the green sunlight.. no sunburn either:)"
