It is supposed that gold is hidden in John Fahey's garden in Derrawee.We are told that the old people of the house put it there long ago.Once three men went digging for it and they were hunted with lightning and thunder and then a big black cat appeared to them.
Then they left it there and went home.it is there yet with a flag over it and a white thorn tree growing at the back of it.
