  2. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    A man named Thomas Loughlin of Aughrim says there is a pot of gold hidden on the banks of the Yellow River, Ballinaglera. He says a man who will be walking along the river at sunrise in summer, will see this pot of gold. He will have to spit on the pot to break the charm. Then he is to take it home with him. He is to keep the finding of the pot of gold a secret.
