  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said that in the churchyard of Aharney Lisdowney Co Kilkenny a chalice is buried. It was buried about two hundred years ago by robbers. It is a gold chalice and people say every night at twelve o'clock a light is seen suspended over it. The churchyard is situated in the middle of a big field which is owned by a man named Frank Fitzgerald.
