    “Treasure was supposed to have been buried in Capel Island.”

    Share Share Post
    Treasure was supposed to have been buried in Capel Island. It is said that a sea-captain hid it there. When it was hidden he said to his crew "Who will guard this treasure." One of the crew answered at once. "I will guard the treasure." The captain having cut off his head said "Guard it now." It is known that some members of the Brooke family and of other clans went to seek for it. They had to go away sorrowful and depressed at seeing this dreadful human skeleton with no head.
