What Do You Mean Who Am I

I'm the tapping of a branch against the window at night,
I'm the flash of lightning,
I'm the full moon shining bright,
I'm the monster in the closet,
I'm the ghoul under the bed,
I'm the goblin in the shadows,
Eyes gleaming red,
I'm the witch in your dreams,
I'm the hall without light,
I'm the troll in your fantasy,
I'm the clock striking midnight,
I'm the ghost of a dead man,
I'm the eyes in a painting,
I'm the haunted old mansion,
Don't keep me waiting,
I spring into your soul,
Whenever you're near,
My name begins with an F,
And ends with an ear.
