  1. About a hundred years ago, there was said to be a gold store in Doonbeg Castle. It was in hide in a wall in the castle and a ghost in the form of a bull minding it. A person would have to dream to have the nerve to find it. One night three men from Doonbeg dreamt of the gold and they went to find. When they arrived at the castle a cock crew warning danger and they got afraid and ran.
