Alternative Haunting (Part 1)

Alternative Haunting (Part 1)

Near the Mississippi River, stood A very old Mansion.
It stood empty for 100+ years, it was believed to be
Haunted, finally, the property was overtaken by weeds
And a shadow loomed over the home day or night.
A Family Cemetery in the very last five acres of the
Estate. The Cemetery was very well kept! A line of
Southern Magnolia trees were on the front entrance of the
Cemetery, A few Dogwood trees near the Cast Iron fence.

As my Family venture, the grounds the air carried fragrantly
The Smell of the Magnolias. There was a lot of work to be done
Repairs from top to bottom. Two months of cleaning, repairs made
It possible to live in. The part of the family that were carpenters
Stayed day and night. On the third night, was a night that will
Not be forgotten, as the mist and fog of the nearby river moved
Across the land, and the bumps of the night became horrific.....( To be continued)
