In the heart of a moonless, haunted night,

Where stars hide their twinkling, out of fright,

A world of eerie wonders starts to unfurl,

Where phantoms dance and ghosts whirl.

~

Beneath a canopy of inky-black skies,

A spectral moon casts ghostly eyes.

Its feeble glow reveals the haunting scene,

Where shadows and spirits convene.

~

Amidst a forgotten, ancient forest's sprawl,

Mist blankets each twisted, gnarled tree's call.

Their skeletal branches reach out and groan,

A chorus of despair, in a world unknown.

~

Owls hoot and watch, their eyes aglow,

Guiding lost souls where nightmares flow.

Their talons clutch secrets, never to tell,

In the realm of darkness where souls dwell.

~

A mansion, decrepit, atop a hill stands,

Holding the weight of unseen hands.

Its walls echo with ghostly cries,

Tales of the past, where despair never dies.

~

As the midnight hour creeps slowly near,

Phantoms and spirits begin to appear.

They waltz through the mansion's shadowed halls,

Their laughter, a mournful lament that enthralls.

~

In the graveyard, silence blankets each tomb,

Where the restless spirits find eternal room.

Their epitaphs etched in worn, weathered stone,

Their stories of sorrow and vengeance known.

~

Beware the shadows that silently creep,

As they beckon you into their spectral keep.

In the heart of darkness, where fear abides,

The spirits of the night in ghostly tides.

~

With each step through this spectral domain,

You'll encounter their presence, their lingering pain.

But remember, brave traveler, don't retreat,

For courage, in the darkness, makes fears obsolete.

~

So when the night is dark and spooky's your theme,

Embrace the eerie, like a haunting dream.

In the world of phantoms, where fear and wonder collide,

Face your frights and let your spirit abide.
