  1. Hidden Treasure - Elm Hill House, Skehanagh, Ardagh

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man dreamt that there was a pot of gold hidden in Elm Hill house. Next morning, he got up early and went to the house, bringing with him a spade and a pick-axe. On arriving at the house, he saw a light. He went to the place but he could see nothing. Then he saw a great flag. He pulled the flag back and a roaring bull came out. He ran for his life leaving his spade and all behind. He told the story to his friends and the gold was never interfered with again.
