I enjoyed reading this dark poem, with a very understandable subject matter. Being the local "witch" on the site, I couldn't help but be drawn into reading this piece. I gleaned from your poem that darkness and shadows lurk everywhere. They may not always be noticed but they are there, waiting for the lost soul, the unbeliever, to be enraptured by its charms, which can be quite mischievous to the one who is ignorant to them. The witching hour only heightens the fright of a person when allowing their imagination to run wild. If only they would stay quiet and learn that they are the ones in control and can prevent the haunting dark shadows from piercing the armor of faith and light.
I do have a vivid imagination, though.
Observations
" there are no ghost[s] in sight."
"It is[Is it] a myth, a legend, or will it be a real fright;[?]"
"Surrounding you deep within its deep shadows;" Repeat of word "deep" within same line. Consider changing one of the words with another word.
TRY: Surrounding you deep within its cavernous shadows. Just a quick example to ditch a "deep."
This was a fun, yet frightening read, thus you've covered all the ingredients to hook me in!
