  1. Hidden Treasure - Abbey Road

    Share Share Post
    Under a tree on this road which is the direct rout to Drim was found chalice.
    This was supposed to have been placed there by a Priest during the Penal times when he was escaping from the soldiers. A girl who betrayed the priest is supposed to haunt the spot on every Xmas Eve. This chalice was hidden in 1899 and a few years later the tree was blown down under which it was hidden.
