  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said there is gold hidden in Daniel Keane's farm. There is a circle in the field and people say that there are two cement pots in it. Some men tried to open it by night to get the gold and it is said that a red bull hunted them. The reason the bull is there is because the man that put the gold there killed a man and told him to mind the gold.
