  1. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a hidden treasure under the wall of Myles Gilraine's house in the townland of Coralubber. There is something minding it. It is said that the person who goes to search for it will lose his life. If a cat or dog jumps across a hidden treasure it is said that the person who goes to search for the treasure, will lose his life. It is said that a man brought a cat to the place where the treasure is and that the cat jumped across it.Through fear and dread no person will look for the treasure.
