Being Haunted
On a dark night, the wind blew.
Coyotes howled and the branches crashed against houses.
You could feel the bone - chilling coldness in the air.
A young girl sat outside rocking back and forth.
"The house is haunted" she would say.
She claimed ghosts were coming to get her.
The town believed she was crazy until one night she disappeared.
When they looked in the house, they heard her voice on the wind.
They ran from the house and closed down their shops.
Now when the night is cold and coyotes howl, you can hear the woman say, "You're next."
