Through the forest he walked

Not a sound was heard

Believing in ghosts, he thought,

Was terribly absurd

From the shadow came a blackbird

then came another, then a third

He stood rooted to the spot

With the birds above, he dare not trot

The silence of the night was very racking

Then he heard a tick-tacking

Up the winding path he went

Then he picked up a strange scent

But he did not know what that meant

And sat down with his back bent

A high pitch scream fills the air

Leave his location he would not dare

Then a sight of red

On his chest he had bled

But he was not dead

And a faint light appeared ahead

Then he awoke in his bed

It was all in his head

He could not believe what he had seen

This truly was a night of Halloween
