  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is supposed to be a pot of gold in Drummurry Lough + if any man would get two pure white mares without a black lean on them + a chain he would get it out if he would not look back at it when he would be taking it out. One man got two horses + a chain + hooked it to the pot of gold. When he was going up to the road he looked to see if it was there so it slipped back into the lake as the chain broke + he never saw the pot of gold any more.
