Nightshade, a ghost with a cruel and frightening name,

Her presence strikes fear into the hearts of all who claim

To brave the night and wander through the dark unknown.

She stalks her prey with eyes that gleam like fiery coals.

She moves with silent grace, like a predator on the prowl,

Her victims never know when she'll strike, never know how.

With a rustle of leaves and a creak upon the floor,

She's there beside you, never to be seen anymore.

Nightshade haunts your dreams, a terror beyond compare,

Her shadow casts fear upon those brave enough to dare.

She feeds upon the souls of the lost and afraid,

Leaving bodies behind that are lifeless and greyed.

So beware all who wander, for Nightshade's power is great,

Her strength and fear unmatched, a force that cannot abate.

Lock your doors and keep the lights burning bright,

For Nightshade stalks the night, ready to take flight.
