  1. Hidden Treasure
    Not far from our parish there was a treasure found. Near this spot there used to be a light seen at twelve o'clock every night. One evening a man said he would dig there. He did so and when he had dug down a little way he found a crock. Just as he was about to pull up the crock. He was shoved by some unseen person and he was hit against a tree that was near by and killed in the instant.
