Lurking in this castle an evil spirit dwells .
Forevermore his soul the Devil owns .
Yet ; he's at peace in this ungodly hell .
Amongst piles of dry and brittle bones .
~
There a darkened basement , hidden .
Deep within the castles bowels below .
It is a room that's so forbidden .
There , no one would ever dare to go .
~
In this dungeon , neath walls of stone's .
The bones of innocents , they be .
The victims their remains still in chains .
Left decaying , for over now a century .
~
From these dark and cold cold hall's .
There , their ghosts are plain to see .
As their scream's echo thru' the wall's .
He gloats in all their misery .
~
He come's out of this " dark basement ".
Once a year his ghostly image can be seen .
So beware out there , of this message sent .
Or you could be , almost certainly . His next
victim , on this coming Halloween ...

I'm staying
away from that basement. Thanks for the warning poet.
Poet, I don't know if you planned all those possessives but:
pile's , it's bowel's , dare's , wall's, bone's, innocent's , victim's , hall's, ghost's ,
scream's, wall's, gloat's, come's, victim's
are all placed in possessive. I believe you meant those words to be simple plurals. the apostrophes make the reader hesitate between the difference. You may want to get back in and edit out all those apostrophes.
