CORK- a Drimalegue parish is shrouded in mystery as local woman finds fortune of gold buried in local field. The woman in question, known only as Mary, has reported finding the gold after an estranged lover asked Mary to retrieve a blackthorn cane from the grave of a recently deceased man. Even stranger, Mary reports having come in contact with a resurrected corpse that she claims told her to enter the house of her current husband’s family home.

The family, asleep at the time of Mary’s entry, claim  to hear no noise during the night as Mary says she entered the house upon orders of the dead man and proceeded to drain the blood of the family’s three young sons. In effectively killing the boys and returning the dead man’s body to the cemetery, Mary claims the man then told her the location of multiple sites in which gold was buried. Witnesses at the time of the young men’s deaths report overhearing Mary arrange the promise of land, which would later prove to be filled with gold, in exchange for returning the life of the farmer’s three sons. Locals are baffled that the young men since then have managed a full recovery, and in a bizarre turn of events the oldest of the three had  even agreed to wed the would be murderer.

Only a month after the discovery of the three pots of gold Mary and her newlywed husband, who claims to harbor no ill will towards his wife, discovered even more gold located to the south of the previous three. The couple say they plan on using the money towards the future in purchasing multiple farms and fine houses. They hope to pass on this good fortune to future children.
