Summary - A joiner who had second-sight, and lights as omens of doom.

A coffin maker finished a coffin, and said he would have more than one to make next time. This came true when he had to make seven coffins for men who had drowned in an accident. Sometimes, the sound of sawing would be heard before a death, or strange lights would be seen. One light in particular was supposed to be seen before the death of a king. It was last seen before Edward VII's death.
