  1. The Crock of Gold

    Share Share Post
    On the road which leads to Petersville House, where the Croppies are supposed to be buried there are stones which cannot be levelled. Some people say that the Croppies are buried there while others say that it was caused by the Truckers who dug the road. One night three Tuckers dreamt that there was a crock of Gold buried there Next morning the three off them went out and dug for the gold but the did not get it They could never level the road since Last year the road was steam rolled bu the stones did not sink
