  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    The treasure is hidden near Anna. There was a man living there long ago during the war and he got it lost, and he hid it near the house. There was a man living near the place and he had heard of the treasure being there. One day he went looking for it; he heard a noise around the house and he went away. It is gold. It is about four thousand pounds. It was a fairy [?] was minding it.
