I Ain'T Afraid of No Ghosts

Ghosts are also called Spirits - this is something I know about.
They're part of my Spirituality - in this there is no doubt!
A Psychic can contact Ghosts with a pendulum, Ouija board, or by going into a trance.
And if you are properly attuned - of these Ghosts you could get a glance!

If you're meant to see them - then you assuredly will.
And if you're not really ready - your heart may for a moment be still.
I am not afraid of Ghosts - for they can teach us too.
Or give us messages from the other side - if them we are due.

On Samhain when the veil between the world's is the thinnest.
There are many Ghosts around - in the valleys, mountains, and even the mists.
At the end of the Samhain rituals - we leave these Ghosts food and drink.
To keep them out of mischief - as back to the Summerlands they go with a wink.

Ghosts are not to be trifled with - so keep your wits about you!
Understand Ghosts, do lots of research on them too.
Seeking them out should not be a TV show or a game.
For if you do this wrongly - they may haunt you - then you only have yourself to blame!
                               BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
