    It is also believed that the fairy people have something to do with the treasure. People say they cast a spell of enchantment over the place where the treasure is hidden so that people cannot get it. It is believed that if you eat brown bread you will get it.
    There is a ghost guarding the place night and day where the treasure is hidden, but you cannot see the ghost during the day. Red lights are seen in the same place every evening at certain hours.
