- Folklore
It is said that there is gold hid under the ground in Clash. One night three men dreamt about it and they dreamt about it the second night. The next day they went to the priest. He said if they dreamt about it the third night to come to him. They dreamt about it the third night and went to him. He blessed a bottle of holy water for them. He told them to make a ring around where the gold was with the water and not to talk no matter what they would see. They did as they were told. A bull came rushing towards them. The third man screamed and he said "We are killed now"
They had to turn back because they talked.
