I Hear Wailing Screaming Keening

deep in the back of a forty acre plot of land
there is a house most cannot abide 
many have heard the rumors and still cannot find it
I hear wailing screaming keening shrieks
from the house of the dead
being clairaudient has its drawbacks 
when you add clairsentient to that, it is crazy
I smell the smoke, and my lungs begin filling
I feel there was abuse there, 
which is why the fire was set
I back away from the house of the dead.
