  2. Fort - Coxestown

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Coxstown in Jerom Collin's land. It is surrounded by a high fence. Some years ago two men thought there was gold buried there. One night they set out for it. When they had a couple of feet dug a coffin appeared beside them so they immediately ran away.
