The Haunting In New York

The Haunting In New York
by Country Girl46
It was Halloween night, I walked around town watching the kids
go trick or treating from house to house, except one house they forbid 
anyone to go near. 

I heard that ever since I was a kid, too.
Since I was older, I figured what they said was just a story, wasn't true.

The wind picked up and began to blow hard, leaves were all over the street, too,
pumpkins were smashed, and when I stepped in front of the house, had no clue
what I was getting myself into.

I opened the door, I stepped in and felt my heart pounding faster, an eerie 
feeling I got when the door slammed behind me and locked. I got teary
eyed for fear set in.

Blood started to go across the ceiling, down the walls, across the floor. 
The windows started to shake and rattle, upstairs the bedroom doors
opened and slammed.

Ghosts flew by, causing my hair on my neck to rise,
Shackles and chains began to rattle in the attic
A witch appeared, casting spells on me,
Was hard to make out what ever body was saying for there was so much static

She went to tie my hands together, I looked down and screamed, it was
a snake wrapped around my wrists
hissing at me, my face was white cuz
the blood in my face drained.

As the clock struck midnight, everything disappeared, it was like
it had been before.  The adrenaline in me made me so very siked .
Got the hell outta there and never returned.
