Many years ago, a very wealthy woman lived all alone in a cottage in Braishfield on the Isle Of Wight. She was so attached to her money that she didn't want to spend any of it or give any of it away. Rather than the charity, freedom, and experiences money can enable, ownership of the potential was reward enough for her. Because she lived alone, she decided to bury her treasures on the cottage grounds where no one would be able to steal it. Unfortunately for her, soon after she buried her treasure she was taken ill and died in hospital. She never told of her secret hiding place and the riches remain there until this day. The cottage in question is used to ghostly visitations. According to legend, the ghost of the wealthy woman often raps on the door and snoops around the outside of the building. Perhaps still attached to her treasure, she cannot pass over to the other side. The treasure has become so alluring that even in death, she doesn't want to let it go.
