    In Pluckerstown there is a place called the Black Gardens and there is supposed to be money hidden in the garden but you must dream three times about it before you could look for it. One night Jim Riley dreamt about the money and the next night he went to look for it. He had a hole dug about a foot in width and a foot deep. Then he heard a bull and he looked around and saw a bull. He ran as fast as he could and after a while he came back and the hold was covered in.
