In the basement of that house
There was a hidden door.
Town legend said,
"It stood behind a wall
Waiting to be fed."
The only thing the door enjoyed
Was families tucked in bed.
So, to protect the families,
A battered ol' rat was the keeper
Of the dreadful friend.
In 1956 a family killed the rat.
Unbeknownst to them
The door was now free,
And inpatient to be fed.
At night while the family slept
Peacefully in their beds.
The door broke through the wall
And traveled to their beds.
In the morning nothing was left
The entire family was gone.
No one ever heard their screams,
As they were torn to shreds.
The door and the family
Were never ever seen again.
