- Near my home there is a field with a big hollow in the middle of it. There is a story about this hollow. It is said that a man buried treasure in this field one time. Long afterwards two men heard about it and decided to dig for it. They did not tell anyone about their intended visit to the field where the treasure was buried. One night when all the people were asleep they went to the field and commenced to dig. After hours of hard work they reached the box in which the treasure was buried. They were just going to lift the box up out of the box hole they had made when there was a great noise and a big white horse came charging at them. They ran in terror and left the treasure behind them. Many people have tried to get the treasure since then but without success. Sometimes a light is seen near the place where the treasure is buried.(continues on next page)
