One night Mickie Monaghan and Jack Darby dreamt that there was money hidden near the old castle. The next morning when they were talking to each other they told about the dream they had. They said that there was something in it. So off they went, to try their luck. When they had dug about a foot they found old knives and forks and broken statues. The tract where they dug is still to be seen. - Collector
