  1. Hidden Treasures - Gold in Carraig Uí Thuathail
    On night, a man dreamt that there was gold hidden in Carraig Uí Thuathail, Glanworth, Co. Cork. Next moonlit night, he and his friends went out to find it.
    There was no rock in the ground where they went digging and they were going away when one of them heard chains rattling. They ran away thinking it was a ghost.
    Next day, one of them was coming towards the same place and he saw two goats tied together with chains, he told the others but they would not go back, they got such a fright.
