The House On Black Creek Road

The House On Black Creek Road Is someone living in that vacant house At the end of Black Creek Road You know the one I'm talking about. The old Crowley farm that was For Sale but never sold I was driving by there on my way home tonight And swear I saw a light And the silhouette of someone Walking around inside I'm sure it wasn't my headlights reflection Shining off the windows. I stopped and got out to take a look but the curtains had all been closed No one answered when I knocked on the door I could hear footsteps and voices inside So I yelled "hey is there anyone home" No one not even the Devil replied There must be someone living there That vacant house on Black Creek Road If there is they have no idea Of what happened there years ago Evil is the only thing that lives in there That vacant house on Black Creek Road They should have destroyed that place Burned it down Along with the memories that it holds Someone should investigate we have a right to know Maybe the monster that lived there has returned back home He never was convicted for those heinous crimes All those children that disappeared That they were never able to find Wonder what became of him Is he in a hospital for the Criminally Insane What do they do with Psychopaths Just lock 'em up and throw the key away I think someone is living there that vacant house on Black Creek Road That place scares the hell out of me. It's as though it's trying to steal my soul It feels like something's watching me when I drive down that road Maybe it's the ghosts of his victims maybe it's him alone Sometimes you can hear screams in the wind rushing through the trees Echoing down the hollow Spreading like a disease Is someone living in that vacant house The one on Black Creek Road Don't let the children go near that place Don't let them walk to school that way What do you mean the children still haven't come home And you haven't seen them all day?

Totally creepy. Sounds like a true story. This also would make a good movie. You certainly have the visual touch, Judge.
