  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    This is a true story.
    Near my home there is a high hill called Molliesco, on top of this hill is a fort, there are lone bushes growing around it. In the center of it is a large stone, under it there is supposed to be a cave. There is supposed to be "Hidden Treasure" gold and valuable vessels. It is said there are fairies in the cave. Nobody ever tried to dig for them because they would not be able to lift the large stone. This story was related to me by my Father.
