  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a pot of gold near where I live. It is hidden in Hugh MacPartlan's bog. This pot of gold is in the ground for years and years and it is there still. People often looked for it but it was never lifted by anyone. Someone dreamed about it and people often came from far-away places to look for it at night. It is said that one man dreamed of it and that when he went to the place he got afraid and turned back. There is an eel watching the pot of gold.
