The Haunted CottagePosted by Gerry on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 10:02:47 AMWell I remember 'twas a dark wintry night A story of haunting told in firelight bright Just a wee humble cottage, not so far away We only go near it in the bright light of day Old John McCaffery was the man who spoke He assured his audience that it wasn't a joke He told of that evening when he took a stroll To visit Jimmy McCann for he lived all alone The door creaked and groaned as he went in Welcome young man, said his old friend Jim Listen; says Jim, it's coming near nine o'clock Now don't be scared but prepare for a shock Then sure enough as the cuckoo clock called Banging and thuds dust came from the walls Then kettle and pot lids vibrated and rattled In the scullery the sound of breaking bottles When the table they sat at shot over the floor Poor John jumped up he couldn't take any more Out the doorway he raced like a terrified child He ran all the way home the best part of a mile.
