  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said that treasure has been hidden in upper Glenstal. The Dands used to hide the treasure long long ago in Ireland. They hid it for fear of being invaded. An attempt was made in upper Glenstal to unearth the treasure. The men were hunted by the noise of chains and the people ran away. The treasure consisted of gold and other valuable articles. There was no discovery in my district. Light has been seen every night where the treasure has been hidden. There was light seen in upper Glenstal where the treasure is hidden.
