Spooks & Spectres

Have you ever felt
Like someone was watching you?
Breathing down your neck?

Or felt your hair raise
Break out in cold sweat with a
Tingle down your spine?

Or perhaps you're a
Non-believer of such things
They are just tall tales

Made for the children
To try and keep them in line
Naive little ones.

Nothing more than pranks
Some cheap tricks, smoke, and mirrors
All put on display

Just for the money
From foolhardy tourists and
New enthusiasts

I'd like to offer
These words, a warning of sorts
Keep an open mind

On the off-chance that
Spooks and Spectres are quite real
Please keep your mouth closed.
