Where silver webs of spiders weave and blighted lovers…

“Where silver webs of spiders weave and blighted lovers take their leave; where curses lay the spirits low and mortal footsteps fear to go. Where death holds life in grim embrace its line's etched on the sinner's face; where e'er the march of time is flaunted Voices cry- "this place is haunted.” quote by Richard Jones
