  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Treasure is supposed to be hidden in Mondellihy. It was hidden by Irish people who had to leave the place about 100 yrs ago.
    It is supposed to be gold and is hidden in a fort. A man near us tried to dig it up, but he did not find it. A few nights ago I was going past the fort and a light was in the sky over it. Under a large rock the treasure is hidden
