    George Kingstons field near the village was supposed to be a field that Jack of the Lantern often visited. One night George Kingston was in the field and it is said he was led astray. Anyone that went out in the night and went into that field could not come out unless someone would bring a light into the field and show them the direction in which they were to go.
