  1. Buried Treasure

    Share Share Post
    This treasure is supposed to be hidden at the back of Hilli's house in Halsey Rath.
    The house is on the left side of the road going to Tullacana, and the treasure is in the middle of the field.
    It was hidden by the English soldiers in the troubled times around '98.
    Several attempts have been made to unearth it with no results except the finding of a few white stones all the same size.
    The treasure is a pot of gold.
    People are to got to find it always about break-of-day.
    They are able to see it if they can (happen?) on a white woman standing where the gold is buried, if not they cannot find it.
    My own Father told me this.
