    some boys, who heard that money was buried in it went into it one fine night and began to dig. They were not long digging when they heard the sound of the money. Immediately a thunderous rolling wind was heard and also most dreadful noises.
    This sound was so frightful that it scared the young men, and they fled from the castle. From that day nobody ever tried to look for the money, which is supposed to be buried in the castle.
