The midnight lights of Porkuni lake

Porkuni lake, beside the ruined bishop's castle and the manor, is famous for its floating islands, and the stories about it are as restless as its shores. A small light is said to burn on the water around midnight for about an hour before going out. People have told of buried treasure, of crusader knights, and of fire running over the lake's surface. Near the old manor and a long-forgotten burial place, villagers have reported men in black hats and ladies in evening gowns floating above the ground, and cloaked half-human figures with hooves. Some of these sightings are very recent. Porkuni manor now houses a limestone museum and the lake is a nature reserve.
