- It is said that there is a horse skin of gold buried in some corner of our meadow. It is said that people went looking for it and when they were digging for some time a bird resembling a duck flew out from the hold they had dug and the men got frightened and went away and no one ever since went looking for it. There was a man in America and before he died he asked if there was any one from Glacha or Glenogragra and that he would make them rich for ever. It is though he knew where it was buried.
