Gather in close and draw near to the flame,

For the shadows whisper a secret name!

In the darkness deep the truth takes flight

From the Holy Book, to go haunt the night!

We'll speak of tales where fear resides,

In silent rooms where evil hides!

Of temptations and tombs and ghouls and ghosts;

of a valley filled with a decaying host!

These stories are old and from ancient days;

They hold warnings deep, in a darkened haze!

And for those who seek the whispered remark,

  Hear the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

Join us for worship…if you dare!

Is there a more haunting setting than the vision the prophet Ezekiel receives? Ezekiel sets the stage for his vision from God: He finds himself in a large valley…a valley of decayed human bones. But here’s the thing—they don’t stay decayed. As Ezekiel starts to follow God’s commands, the bones rattle and reanimate. Who knew the Bible had zombie stories?
