    Share Share Post
    There is gold supposed to be hidden in the Barna mountains, under a rock. It consists of golden coins and golden vessels. A man named Brownlow searched for it,but it was in vain,he could not find it. This gold was put there by thieves. Superstitious animals are supposed to watch over it viz, a bull and a cat,
