  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man named McCormack found an old Danish treasure in a tunnel out at Ballymacool.
    They tunnel stretched from Ballymacool to Rockhill. It is under the River Swilly. A whole army of men and horses could go through the tunnel.
    They were valuable rugs and furniture found in the tunnel.
    They were sold and the money went to Hospital's funds.
