I would say all homes wherein men
And women have lived and died are
Haunted!

Sometimes you can feel the presence
Of those beings from the invisible world
Around you.

An eerie feeling that runs down your neck
To your spine. A sudden icy chill causing every
Hair on you to rise, and making your flesh tingle.

You may not see them. Yet they are around you,
Watching you. Those restless spirits of the dead.

At times you maybe alone. When a fragrance
Of sweet perfume or fresh cut flowers suddenly
Fills the air and just as quickly disappears.

You may have been in a room by yourself and
You clearly heard your name called.

It happens day or night.

You may suddenly hear a voice
Or disembodied screams or laughter.
You quickly realize you are alone.
Or are you?

Eerie and mysterious odors. Bizarre voices
And sounds. Cold chills or a feeling of hands
On your shoulders.

You may think you are alone.
That doesn’t mean you are, alone!

I would say all homes wherein men
And women have lived and died are
Haunted!
