    The Haunted Hill
    Below our house is a large old castle, where gentlemen lived long ago. Its ruins are still to be seen. There is a high hill near the castle where there is said to be a pot of gold hidden and in pot is a leprechaun who is minding the gold. Nobody would search for the gold because the hill is said to be haunted.
