TRAVELING VIGIL LIGHT OF MT. OLIVET CEMETRY.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO ONE OF THE GRAVES OF MT. OLIVET CEMETRY
WAS DUG UP AND THE BODY MOVED TO ANOTHER SPOT IN THE CEMETRY.
THE MOTHER OF THE DEAD PERSON LOOKED AND LOOKED FOR THE GRAVE
OF HER BELOVED BUT COULD NEVER FIND IT. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THE
VIGIL LIGHT WHICH THE MOTHER KEPT BURNING ON THE GRAVE NOW
ROAMS THE CEMETRY SEARCHING FOR THE GRAVE OF THE BODY THAT
WAS MOVED. MANY PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
SEE THE LIGHT MOVING ABOUT THE CEMETRY. ONE NIGHT WHEN AT A
GIRL FRIEND'S HOUSE THE INFORMANT WAS ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO GO TO
THE CEMETRY WITH A GROUP OF GIRLS TO LOOK FOR THE LIGHT. THE GIRL
FRIEND LIVED RIGHT NEXT TO THE CEMETRY AND KNEW THE SCHEDULE OF
THE WATCHMEN WHO WORKED IN THE CEMETRY. THE GIRLS CLIMBED THE FENCE
AND AFTER THEY HAD GONE A SHORT WAY INTO THE CEMETRY, THEY SAW THE
VIGIL LIGHT NOT MANY FEET IN FRONT OF THEM, MOVING ABOUT. THEY
RAN BACK TO THE HOUSE IN FEAR.

BLOOD STAINS
ONE OF THE INFORMANT'S NEIGHBORS AT ONE TIME HAD LIVED IN NEW JERSEY
THE HOUSE IN WHICH SHE LIVED CONTAINED A BLOOD STAIN ON THE LIVING
ROOM FLOOR. A MURDER HAD BEEN COMMITTED IN THE HOUSE SEVERAL YEARS
BEFORE. THE BLOOD STAIN COULD NOT BE REMOVED EITHER BY SCRUBBING,
SANDING, OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IN ALL THE YEARS THAT
SHE LIVED THERE WAS TO COVER IT UP WITH A RUG.

LIGHT ABOVE ST. MARY'S
ABOUT TWELVE OR FOURTEEN YEARS AGO NEAR DAZY, NORTH DAKOTA
ON ST. MARY'S FARM THERE APPEARED A LIGHT ABOVE ST. MARY'S CHURCH.
THE GERMAN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY WAS AMAZED AND AFTER A TIME AFRAID
OF THE LIGHT. THE PRIEST EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS PERHAPS THE SOUL OF
A PERSON NOT AT REST. HE ASKED THAT ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
PRAY FOR THE POOR SOUL. PLANES OF NEAR BY AIRPORTS WERE SENT UP TO
SEEK OUT THE SOURCE OF THE LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT SOURCE WAS
FAR TOO HIGH FOR ANY PLANE TO REACH. PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS
ALIKE GATHERED FROM MILES AROUND AT THE CHURCH TO PRAY. AFTER
ABOUT A WEEK THE LIGHT DISAPPEARED.
