“”How many homeowners think their house is haunted? A majority, survey finds…
thanks to eerie things like unusual sounds and flickering lights…”
—Yahoo!News

When someone in a house expires,
Their ghost may linger in its wires
Telling you about their plight
Through flickers of electric light.

Or some may settle in the plumbing,
Banging, rattling or humming
Stories of a troubled spirit,
In hopes someone alive will hear it.

Despite the fuss, I stay undaunted,
Living in a house that’s “haunted.”
I’d rather deal with minor scares
Than face the thought of home repairs.
