  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In Creevay Park opposite where I live there is supposed to be a treasure hidden. The treasure consists of a crock of gold which is down beneath a flag under the surface, and it cannot be taken up except during the elevation of the mass. The owner of the farm does not want it to be taken up fearing ill luck would come on herself or her family, It is said that it is guarded by a dog. The treasure is supposed to be hidden under a lone bush.
