- (continued from previous page)a black dog was seen and some people say there must be a treasure hidden there and that the black dog was guarding it.
Its an old saying that a person should never cut bushes or sow crops in a fort because some misfortune might fall on themselves or on their children or stock. Hidden treasure is supposed to be concealed under those old forts but people are afraid to dig for it.
