  1. About thirty-two years ago, there was a labouring man named Gordon, living in the parish of Killea. He dreamt one night that a crock of gold was hidden in the old graveyard of Kilmacomb.
    He went in search of it and he was working when suddenly he heard a noise and his face became suddenly disfigured. He remained in bed for several years. He is still living in the Parish of Killea, and he has told this story several times.
