  1. It is said that in Annesgrove, in the parish of Castletown-Roche, in the Barony of Fermoy, a man named Annsley lived. One day he was burying his money and he took his servant woman with him. He asked her if she would mind it dead or alive and she said she would, and then he shot her. A few years after a man in Castletown-Roche dreamt that there was money hidden in Annesgrove, so six of them went and found the place. They dug down and they were very near the money. Just then a woman appeared, and all the men ran away. When they got home they went into bed but the woman appeared again with a sword and she killed one of them.
