   Park light is a light which shines in the house of any person who is dying and is going to be buried in Park Churchyard.
   This light when it is coming it takes a direct rout, and stays about six feet high in the air until it reaches the person's house the it goes into the house and shines on the foot of the bed.
   It stays there until the person dies then it goes back to the graveyard slowly. When this light comes it is a sure sign of death.
