  1. Enchanted Money

    Share Share Post
    Mrs Donohue told me that she heard her father saying, that John Doyle of Rathanna dreamt of a chest of gold, that was burried in Kiltennel graveyard. He went to dig for it in the night, and a bull chased him out of the graveyard. He dreamt of it again. He dug until he thought he had the chest.
    The mad bull saw him again and chased him away.
    He went back the next day, and the hole was all filled in again. He never went to dig for it again after that.
