The House on Manor Hill

voices of ghosts

The House on Manor Hill 

It was early dawn

when we arrived 

stepping over moist grass 

they pointed us inside

towards a filthy corner

the equipment was placed

in its correct order

the ambience felt cold & eerie 

along with a lingering death odor

his body had putrefied to the point

its oils sketched the wooden floor

inside those very dark corners 

his energy remained,indeed it remained

slowly diffusing through the rest

of the cursed hill manor house

the spirit box made contact

he said his name was James Cox

an overwhelming scent of booze 

& tobacco permeated everyone's nose

there were two bottles of whisky &

cigarette butts deliberately thrown 

he was drunk when he killed himself 

suddenly in a diabolical crackle 

he said the bitch ain't coming back

ain't coming back, ain't coming back

it echoed and echoed, indulgently 

as we felt the temperature drop 

he had shot his wife of 30 years

neighbors swear they see him in

the house holding a hunting rifle

        This is spooky. What has made you interested in the paranormal?

        • voices of ghosts

          Thanks for reading Sharon
          I've been interested in the paranormal since childhood because I saw and interacted with spirits, during that time my parents spoke with our priest & he explained to them I had the spiritual gift of seeing & perceiving, so I grew up with a strong faith & respect towards it, but the spirit world can be dangerous if one isn't prepared so I opted to study it, and just as in our normal lives good & evil reside within the unseen world.

            Have you ever been scared by your gift? How did you interact with spirits? Do you mean communicate?

            • voices of ghosts

              No, I have never been afraid perhaps because it began as a child & the spirits I communicate with are highly vibrational meaning good natured non malevolent, I didn't experience any negative entities until I opted to use an EVP recorder for work & study purposes. Keep in mind we are all different and some people are more prone to carrying and attracting negative entities, there is alot of spiritual work that must be done behind the scenes to prepare & protect oneself.

              • GenXer Shamrocker ☘️

                I understand and respect what your gift. You’re absolutely right too. We are all different and we each have a purpose.
