  1. Dream

    Share Share Post
    My grandfather told me that a farmer who was staying at a friend's house - two miles away dreamt that there was a party breaking a rock that minute in his farm, under which, it was supposed there was treasure.
    He got up, and called up his friends, and away they went in the middle of the night. The dream was true. The robbers had a charge put in the rock. When they heard the others coming they fired it, but got nothing, but they had not much time for searching.
    These are all true stories.
