    Inside the castle on the ground is a large stone slab which covers a large opening. It is partly raised up + resting on a large piece of iron. From the opening large stone steps lead down into a large cellar where it is very dark. It is said that there is gold hidden down there + that the spirit of a man guards it. No man or woman would go near it at night for fear of being killed.
