  1. Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It's said there is treasure hidden near here, beside a tunnel (?). A witch guards it - a huge crock of gold.
    A party of men dug for it. They came to a wide dark hole. They thought it was the tunnel. There they saw a girl standing dressed in blue, a white covering in her hands and she crying.
    She told them stop digging or she would leave them standing there for ever. The men fled.
