Detective, this is a well-written poem in free verse style because I can't discern a consistent rhythm or rhyme, which is certainly okay, since the picture it paints is quite clear.
I don't often read ghost stories in prose or poetry. So, I would like to thank you that the paranormal is hinted at without being graphic in any way.
The church I attend has a large cemetery on the same property. There is also a pastor's home on another part of the property. Frankly, I can't imagine spending the night in either the church or the pastor's home for the reasons you repeated in chorus in this poem. "Would you dare to spend a night in this house of shadows?" I seriously doubt it.
I didn't take off anything in the rating, but you may want to look at this phrase in the middle of your poem (verse 4). "Manic laughed reach" could possibly be "Manic laughter reaches."
Other than that, the poem seems to be on track, leaving the emotions "chilled to the bone." WRITE ON!
