Her name is Amber
Or at least
That is the name she has been given
For nobody knows her true name
She is 6 years old
Or at least that is how she appears
For she is a ghost child

Raven black long hair
Blue eyes
Pale white skin
She wears a white nightgown
And always carries a teddy bear

I said she is 6 years old
However she is much much older
Her exact age is unknown
However some guess 2-3 hundred years

She is mostly harmless
Wandering here and there
In the dead of night
Farmers have seen her
Walking through their Hayfield
One claims that while he was out
Hunting one early morning
He saw her rise from the depths
Of the pond

She can be seen wandering the streets in town as well
Some say that sometimes
She carriers a lantern with her
But
She always has her teddy bear

Some say she burned in a house fire
Some say she wandered away from home and got lost in the nearby woods
There are even weirder and more gruesome tales about her dimise

Most of the time she is harmless
However
When she gets into a mood
Her eyes turn bloodshot
Her hair turns to flames
Some say her teddy bear
Becomes a real bear
She uses other worldly powers
To create much mischief
Throwing objects
With the wave of her hand
She could stand on one end of the street
Her screeching yell could break every glass object along that street,  and some tales say the whole block

After she's had her "fun"
She'd turn back into an innocent child
Holding her teddy bear once more
And continue on her wandering ways
