He arrived early at the remote film location
wooded with a grassy clearing
he could hear voices and laughter not alone
but upon searching was nothing
it was a freezing autumn morning but clear
as the chatter continued very near!
Faint outlines of people certain he had seen
darting in grass and through trees
as if a community was actually living here
or was it the rising mist and nature
just waking from the darkness of the night
and his imagination did alight!
So tired from getting little sleep to be here
as an extra on a television drama
unusually early crew were normally there
or at least the caterers on site
retreated back to his car felt very exposed
trying hard to stay composed!
Checking his watch realised it was only five
could not block out the sounds
light shone in the distance at last not alone
vehicles came and parked near
the large catering truck trundled into sight
much to the young mans delight!
Soon was far from alone and also learned
this was the set for a ghost story
based on an event that had happened here
a mass murder at the farmhouse
had he seen their spirits in the early dawn
into their spiritual realm drawn?
Throughout that day was always uneasy
but put it out of his mind
until somebody else said they had seen
a child in one of the rooms
another voices in the grounds and trees
an unpleasant smell on the breeze!
Filming is still going on with a growing disquiet!
