- Death Notices
The people of this district firmly believe in the many ways that death notices are given. There are also many people that would even swear that they heard these signs. The death of an absent member or relative of a family is often foretold by three knocks on the door. If anybody hears these knocks they ever afterwards await bad news. It often happens that the knocks came at the time the person passed away. When once heard, these knocks are still more firmly believe not only by the hearers but by all people.
