  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Long ago a man by the name of Jack Neill dreamt where money was buried. Himself and another man by the name of Michael Bennett went looking for it one night. He dreamt that it was buried in Pattersons in Aghern (Co. Cork) in the field behind the house.
    They could not get the money as the light was put out every time they lit it. In the end a little grey man appeared to them. They got such a fright that they ran home and never looked for it again.
