Haunted

It must be fun; being a ghost. Just knock bang and give things a rattle. Providing a good scare. We, the living, are easily scared. We know when we’ve a ghost. Haunted houses have many, knocks, bangs and rattles. With haunts, even the walls rattle. In the dark night it’s scarier. Point your camera at the air and you may photograph a ghost. Pray that your ghost is nice; tolerate its rattling and never show that you’re scared.

I like ghostly poems at this time of year, and your advice is sage. I never act scared in front of a ghost. Okay, one time. Thanks for reminding me. (One is here now).

I have no fear of ghosts; it's the living I fear; especially after watching the nightly news. Of course, if the ghost sneaks up on you and shouts, "BOO!" in your ear; that does get a bit scary. Thanks for dropping by again.
