Haunted House

I walked in through the creaking door Blood stains on the hardwood floor I followed bloody footprints up the stairs I knew that I had best beware The house stood empty for twenty years No one dared enter due to the fears Of murderous incidents that occurred therein It was dubbed in town the house of sin I knew not who had done the deed But my soul inside had this burning need To search the house for evidence The cold that passed through me made me wince From atop the stairs, I looked down below Poltergeists in life-form put on a show The horror that took place was no longer a mystery I saw my wife stabbing and killing me

Ooh, wow! Great ending, Joe! They tore down a house about 5 minutes from me. Built a house on the opposite side. This was after a murder. Hopefully the cleansing of the land.
