The Edison Museum, not open to the public
|
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
|
Folks drive in from out of town
|
To gaze in amazement when they see it
|
|
Just outside the gate I look into the courtyard
|
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
|
Through the iron bars, I see the black maria
|
Revolving slowly in its platform
|
In the topmost tower, the lights burn dim
|
A coiling filament glowing within
|
|
The Edison Museum, once a bustling factory
|
Today is but a darkened cobweb covered hive of industry
|
The tallest, widest and most famous haunted mansion in New Jersey
|
|
Behind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas Alva
|
Recites a poem on a phonograph
|
Ghosts float up the stairs, like silent moving pictures
|
The loyal phantoms of his in house staff
|
A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt
|
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out
|
|
The Edison Museum, not open to the public
|
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
|
The oldest, greatest and most famous haunted mansion in New Jersey
