  1. Aglish, Cappoquin Co. Waterford - Finding Gold

    Share Share Post
    One night a woman died in a house. There was a girl sleeping in the room next to where the woman was dead. She heard the noise in the next room. She got up and opened the door easily and saw the dead woman standing up on one of the chairs. There was a hole behind her (that is the dead woman) in the wall. From the hole she took a cup and left it on the edge. In the morning the girl got the cup and it was full of gold.
