  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Tents on the top of a hill there is a treasure supposed to be buried. There is a big stone over it and it is guarded by a weasel nobody ever went to look for it. It is said that there is a man to be killed before it is got and the weasel that is guarding it will suck the man's blood.
