Haunted House - For One Night In a Haunted Manor

Haunted House No mist, no moon, no creepy room No broken pane, no wicker broom No portrait eyes that seem to move No finger nails scratching a groove No spider dangling on a strand No creeping of a severed hand No butler with an evil stare No creaking door, no flying chair No howling from the fireplace No spectral phantom saying grace No rusty hinge, no creaking stair No hatchet sunk in blood soaked hair No guests, no staff, no passers by No copper with a gouged out eye No heroine to be bereft No one to eat... ...No one left!

P.S.: I'm pretty sure you meant heroine, not heroin. :-)

You’re absolutely correct. Well done for spotting my... er... deliberate mistake. All duly corrected.
