    churchyard. This Doctor had an only son and it died while he lived in Litter. When a funeral would take place the women would begin caoining. The doctor's wife objected to this as it reminded her of her dead son. Then the doctor got it closed down. He then dug up the graves and put the headstones in the walls of his house. Then the house began to leak and could not be stopped. After some time he left the house and it collapsed.
