    Share Share Post
    There was a man in Polla phúca and he used to be visiting every night, one night when he was coming home he saw a chest of gold at Poll a phúca crossroads, he tried to get it but it failed him and every night when he used to be coming home he used to see it when he used to see it so often he thought it was left there for himself. He went to the parish priest of Attymass to try to get it for him, this night the priest and the man went to get it and when they came to the place where the chest was they couldn't see it at all and he didn't see it after that.
