Staying at a friend's house, late one night.
Went to check out a scratching at the door.
I beheld a ghastly sight.
Standing at the door, was an apparition.
She wore a white dress, and a scared disposition
Pale white skin, and long black hair
She stared me down, for what seemed like an eternity, standing there
Pale blue eyes, almost grey
Looked at me, and I could not look away
Then, just like that, the figure was gone
Burned an image into my mind, not easily undone
I had to figure out who this figure was
So I asked all the neighbors and everyone around
And, sure enough, a woman lived there before, with long black hair and blue eyes, and she was buried
In a white gown.

i only have ghosts, and one at that (sorry? all of my supernatural experiences are a little more complex than halloween lore) if i have to have a witch let me know

Mystery On The Savannah

The moon hides from us tonight
The forest hides us from town
We should have left while there was light
Before the fire burned out
Pine smoke floating, thin and white
Two boys can’t fake a frown
Until a flutter from far treeline
Raises their hair like a howl

From the slightly raised railroad
Shadows and branches interfere
But not enough, still blood runs cold
Though the specter is not near
Cole begins to shift sideways, home
Surrender, but not quite fear
I cannot, still as a stone
Waiting to see this thing clear

A scream and my resolve is broke
Head snaps to left, falls open mouth
An iron giant, stalled by smoke
Blocks our way, the only way out
I barely dare to seek the ghost
Over my shoulder, laced with doubt
Of course now gone, and too, our smoke
From sleeping steam engine, the conductor shouts

“You kids get off the damn tracks, there’s a brushfire coming!”

(we never saw more than something pale fluttering behind trees and never spoke of it but i went back the next day and couldn't find footprints)

I'll definitely enter this ... I'm on a Halloween Adrenaline Boost!! It'll die out after Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead, 2nd November), so I've gotta use it to my advantage.

(^,..,^)
