take.<br \/>\nFrom silent graves and shadows deep,<br \/>\nThey rise from where the lost souls sleep.<\/p>\n<p>A rustling sound, a whispered call,<br \/>\nAs shadows stretch, both thin and tall.<br \/>\nThey drift through trees that arch and bend,<br \/>\nTo guide them through this forest\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>With ghostly forms and whispers low,<br \/>\nThey glide beneath the moon\u2019s soft glow.<br \/>\nThe night is thick, the air is still,<br \/>\nAnd time itself begins to chill.<\/p>\n<p>Each step they take, a spectral flight,<br \/>\nThey vanish softly into night.<br \/>\nYet faint, beneath the drifting mist,<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll hear their voices\u2019 quiet twist\u2014<\/p>\n<p>A mournful hum, a hollow song,<br \/>\nThat echoes eerily and long.<br \/>\nThey murmur tales of years gone by,<br \/>\nOf faded love and long-lost cries.<\/p>\n<p>They pass through tangled roots and thorn,<br \/>\nWhere branches reach like fingers worn.<br \/>\nThe trees seem wise, and old, and tired,<br \/>\nAs if by unseen stories wired.<\/p>\n<p>And in the leaves, cold secrets lie,<br \/>\nAs spirits weave their way nearby.<br \/>\nA mist rolls in, the spirits fade,<br \/>\nYet still their solemn journey\u2019s made.<\/p>\n<p>Through haunted paths, they travel slow,<br \/>\nWhile stars peek down from high and low.<br \/>\nFrom hill to hollow, stream to stone,<br \/>\nEach spirit walks its path alone.<\/p>\n<p>Bound by a pull they can\u2019t deny,<br \/>\nThey pass beneath the midnight sky.<br \/>\nFor on this night, the spirits roam,<br \/>\nTo trace their path and find their home.<\/p>\n<p>In endless, winding, ghostly file,<br \/>\nThey travel mile on moonlit mile.<br \/>\nThey know not where their journey ends,<br \/>\nYet still they walk, through turns and bends.<\/p>\n<p>A forest deep, an ancient spell,<br \/>\nA place where restless spirits dwell.<br \/>\nAnd every year, through mist and air,<br \/>\nThey walk once more, bound unaware.<\/p>\n<p>So listen close, when night is long,<br \/>\nAnd hear the whispers of their song.<br \/>\nFor spirits walk, unseen, unheard,<br \/>\nWith every step, a distant word.<\/p>\n<p>The forest is filled with nasty sights,<br \/>\nWith creepy things that chill the nights\u2014<br \/>\nSpiders crawl with silent grace,<br \/>\nIn webs that drape from place to place.<\/p>\n<p>Their beady eyes watch all who dare<br \/>\nTo walk alone, without a care.<br \/>\nAbove, the bats swoop low and high,<br \/>\nTheir wings cut shadows &#8216;cross the sky.<\/p>\n<p>And deeper still, a ghastly glow,<br \/>\nWhere flaming souls drift to and fro.<br \/>\nTheir eyes burn bright, a fiery red,<br \/>\nThese haunted forms, the long-since dead.<\/p>\n<p>They moan and wail with hollow cries,<br \/>\nAs eerie lights light up their eyes.<br \/>\nThey flicker close, then fade away,<br \/>\nBut leave a chill where&#8217;er they sway.<\/p>\n<p>With twisted roots and bony trees,<br \/>\nThe forest hums with ghostly pleas.<br \/>\nBranches reach like clawing hands,<br \/>\nGrasping tight in haunted lands.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath the moon, a wicked spell<br \/>\nEnchants this dark and eerie dell.<br \/>\nEach step, each sound, a haunting call,<br \/>\nA shadowed fear, both large and small.<\/p>\n<p>So heed the warning, stay away,<br \/>\nOr join the ghosts who haunt this day.<br \/>\nFor in this forest, shadows creep,<br \/>\nWhere nasty, spooky spirits sleep.<\/p>\n<p>In part of the woods, where witches reside,<br \/>\nOnly magic spells will be your guide.<br \/>\nThe air is thick with potions brewed,<br \/>\nWith whispered chants and secrets crude.<\/p>\n<p>The trees grow twisted, gnarled, and black,<br \/>\nAs shadows creep behind your back.<br \/>\nThe path is lost in eerie mist,<br \/>\nWhere creatures hide that can\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>Cauldrons bubble, fires flare,<br \/>\nWith hints of sulfur in the air.<br \/>\nA coven waits by candle\u2019s light,<br \/>\nTheir eyes aglow, both dark and bright.<\/p>\n<p>They chant in tongues of ages past,<br \/>\nTheir voices rise, a haunting blast.<br \/>\nThey stir their pots with ancient bones,<br \/>\nAnd fill the night with mystic tones.<\/p>\n<p>Beware the charms that they may send,<br \/>\nFor magic bends but does not mend.<br \/>\nIf through these woods you dare to tread,<br \/>\nYou may return\u2014though changed or dead.<\/p>\n<p>Their spells drift softly on the breeze,<br \/>\nA warning sung by sighing trees:<br \/>\n&#8220;Turn back, turn back, from here you roam,<br \/>\nOr risk your fate, forever home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet if you\u2019re bold and seek the spell<br \/>\nThat breaks the witch\u2019s shadowed swell,<br \/>\nRemember well the rules of three\u2014<br \/>\nFor magic here holds no mercy.<\/p>\n<p>The moon shines pale, the stars align,<br \/>\nTheir magic bound by dark design.<br \/>\nFor in this place where witches dwell,<br \/>\nOnly magicks can break this spell.<\/p>\n<p>In the next bit of the haunted wood,<br \/>\nA stone lab stands, misunderstood.<br \/>\nThe walls are cracked, the windows grime,<br \/>\nFilled with strange machines and slime.<\/p>\n<p>A madman works in shadows dim,<br \/>\nWith beakers full to every brim.<br \/>\nHis hair is wild, his eyes alight,<br \/>\nHis laughter echoes through the night.<\/p>\n<p>To pass this place, you must beware\u2014<br \/>\nA wicked riddle waits to snare.<br \/>\nHe stops you with a twisted grin,<br \/>\nAnd says, &#8220;The only way to win:<\/p>\n<p>Answer this, if you can think!<br \/>\nOr find yourself on the lab\u2019s cold brink.&#8221;<br \/>\nHis voice like metal, sharp and clear,<br \/>\nHe leans in close, too near to fear:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What has no life, but moves and grows,<br \/>\nAnd fills the air with biting throes?<br \/>\nIt burns and eats, yet leaves no bones;<br \/>\nIt dances wild with wicked tones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You tremble, trapped, your thoughts collide,<br \/>\nTo guess or flee, nowhere to hide.<br \/>\nThe scientist leers, his patience thin,<br \/>\nAnd taps his fingers on his chin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnswer now, or dare to stay\u2014<br \/>\nI\u2019ll take your silence as you say!\u201d<br \/>\nThe riddle spins within your mind\u2014<br \/>\nAn answer here you must soon find!<\/p>\n<p>You blurt, \u201cThe answer\u2026 could it be\u2014<br \/>\nThat which feeds on wood and tree?<br \/>\nThe thing that blazes, flickers, glows?<br \/>\nThe answer, sir, is fire, I know!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scientist laughs, his eyes agleam,<br \/>\nAnd tips his hat with ghostly steam.<br \/>\n\u201cWell done, you fool; I\u2019ll let you by\u2014<br \/>\nBut take no more time, and hurry by.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You pass him quick with hurried tread,<br \/>\nAs his mad chuckles fill your head.<br \/>\nFor in this lab, dark secrets spin,<br \/>\nAnd science madly cackles within.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of the forest dark and deep,<br \/>\nThe spirits pause, their movements steeped<br \/>\nIn cautious steps, with breath held tight,<br \/>\nFor here they meet a fearsome sight.<\/p>\n<p>An army stirs, a clattering sound\u2014<br \/>\nSkeleton warriors, grim and bound,<br \/>\nMarching forth in rows so straight,<br \/>\nGuarding paths with ancient hate.<\/p>\n<p>Each bony hand grips rusted steel,<br \/>\nAnd hollow eyes with sharpness feel.<br \/>\nTheir empty jaws, forever grinned,<br \/>\nSnap shut as night drifts in.<\/p>\n<p>The spirits shiver, pale and dim,<br \/>\nThey cannot pass by force or whim.<br \/>\nWith careful grace, they glide aside,<br \/>\nHiding deep where shadows bide.<\/p>\n<p>Through tangled roots, they weave and sneak,<br \/>\nPast rustling leaves and branches weak.<br \/>\nThey make no sound, they hold their breath,<br \/>\nTo slip by rows of restless death.<\/p>\n<p>The skeletons clank in ironed boots,<br \/>\nTheir steps in tune with war-time roots.<br \/>\nTheir leader grunts, a chilling rasp,<br \/>\nA bony finger in tight clasp.<\/p>\n<p>But spirits move as silent air,<br \/>\nAnd drift through shadows unaware.<br \/>\nTheir forms like wisps of silver light,<br \/>\nInvisible to undead sight.<\/p>\n<p>Past gleaming swords and clinking chains,<br \/>\nThey float as mist through darkened lanes.<br \/>\nNot one stray soul dares look behind,<br \/>\nAs skeletons march, bound and blind.<\/p>\n<p>And so the spirits, soft as dreams,<br \/>\nEscape the skeletons&#8217; marching schemes.<br \/>\nWith one last glance, they float away,<br \/>\nTo wander on till break of day.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, deep in the forest gloom,<br \/>\nThe spirits find their joyful room.<br \/>\nA cabin stands with lanterns bright,<br \/>\nSurrounded by old graves in sight.<\/p>\n<p>The door swings wide, the spirits cheer,<br \/>\nFor Halloween has drawn them near.<br \/>\nThey drift inside, where shadows play,<br \/>\nTo dance and laugh the night away.<\/p>\n<p>The walls are strung with cobweb threads,<br \/>\nAnd candles glow from ghostly heads.<br \/>\nThe music hums a haunting tune,<br \/>\nIn time beneath the witching moon.<\/p>\n<p>They whirl and sway in ghostly glee,<br \/>\nTheir chains and cloaks all flutter free.<br \/>\nA rockin\u2019 beat, both loud and wild,<br \/>\nSends each old ghost and ghoul beguiled.<\/p>\n<p>Skeletons clatter, rattle bones,<br \/>\nWitches twirl with joyful moans.<br \/>\nGoblins grin, and specters sigh,<br \/>\nTheir laughter rising to the sky.<\/p>\n<p>And so, if you see lights in trees,<br \/>\nOr hear a rustle in the breeze,<br \/>\nDon\u2019t be alarmed, don\u2019t run in fright\u2014<br \/>\nIt\u2019s just the spirits, full of delight.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re here to dance and share a laugh,<br \/>\nTo haunt the woods and raise their staff.<br \/>\nSo let them revel, dusk till dawn,<br \/>\nFor Halloween, their night has drawn.<\/p>\n<p>When morning comes, they\u2019ll fade from view,<br \/>\nBack to their graves, their night through.<br \/>\nBut once a year, they\u2019ll all return,<br \/>\nFor one more night of ghostly churn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can find a video
