NEAR THE CREEK

For generations, it’s been said that if you come

Down here, then you can hear her voice moaning

In agony within the wind,

What happened to her is a tale that’s a mystery

As it is told. over and over through the years.

Some say that they have seen her ghostly presence,

She haunts the creek where she was possibly murdered.

Legend tells that many whom have been down here to

Find her,

Too hear her agonizing voice, have never been seen or

Heard from again.

Near the creek there’s a haunting fog that lives,

Something or someone visits there, a presence

Not at peace.

It lures those whom wander away into the darkness,

Don’t listen for the sound that waits,

Do not seek out this ghostly death,

Don’t go near the creek!
