In this rickety old run down home
Lived an old strange man all alone.
His wife has been dead now for a century or more.
But down in his basement he has seen her spirit, before.
Now, the story about him is spooky and alarming.
He hears her voice from time to time and she's singing.
He makes puppets out of his families body's and puts them to bed every night.
Some people think that he has lost his mind.
He used to be charming and kind.
Ever since his wife passed away, he never was the same again.
He had one daughter and one son, their lives came to a frightful end.
He still keeps their bodies in the house and made puppets out of them to.
He puts them to bed with a song that they once knew.
Nobody goes over their to visit because his strange behaviors chased them away.
You see him sitting in his rocking chair by the window, that's where he stays.
The puppets look so creepy and evil.
Staring through the window awkwardly still.
So if you walk by this place, it's better to walk the other way.
He may try to grab you and use you for bait for his children to play.
Never befriend him
Never let him win
Never ring his doorbell
Never be curious because he will bring you through hell.
