The Dark House
At the entrance of a west coast bay
Stands an abandoned light house in the harbor
No longer signals danger for ships to stay away
GPS guides them with a laser buoy marker
The now Dark House doesn't have a live keeper
A ghost occupies it without a task
Passing ship crews noticing it feel creepier
When waved at by a Phantom with a mask
