- Hidden Treasure
16.11.1937
A pan of gold is supposed to be hidden in Lisilican Rock, but the searcher was always deterred when approaching rock.
A similar treasure is in Raheen, but according to traditions, will not be found until blood is spilled by the searchers.
To fulfil the conditions of the prophecy, a few people killed a cock and then started to dig, but were deterred by a flock of magpies who screamed and flapped their wings to an alarming degree.
