  1. There is gold in a field in Autawalla. Anyone that wanted to dig it would have to dream three nights after one another about it.
    A man from Kiltimagh dreamt about it three nights after one another and then he came to dig it up. When he came to the place where the gold was an eel came after him and he had to leave it there. No one ever tried digging it up since.
