  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In the second field from my house there is a deep hole in which there is a large stone. Long ago a man named John had a castle near that field. The castle was called Castle John. It is said that he buried his money in a box in that hole. The box is still under the stone. It is down so deep that it cannot be reached.
