I have worked on this problem for several years now. It all started with an investigation into the history of a well-known mansion in Buckhannon, WV known to the locals as "The Castle" because of its signature three-story tower. It has a long history that -- according to my research -- dates back to at least the 1860s. There are legends that tell of angered spirits, a curse and a series of underground catacombs built during the Civil War.The treasure comes in near the turn of the 20th century and leading up to post-World War I. A wealthy French family left a small fortune to their long-time friends at this mansion in Buckhannon. I don't know about the paranormal side of this... I'm very skeptical of such things. However, there are some things which I experienced and even captured on camera that defy logical explanation. I do know that the treasure part of the tale is real. I uncovered original written correspondences from the french Count and Countess to the family in Buckhannon as well as the ciphers that were supplied to me by a curator of the chateau... written by a member of the family residing at The Castle. I leave the rest of this mystery up to my fellow treasure hunters and investigators. I've done most of the work for you already. I have my reasons for not proceeding further. My research can be found at the following website: http://www.castlepros.weebly.com. This should be plenty to get you started on the trail to the cache estimated in today's funds at $2 million USD. I'll answer what questions I can, and am willing to supply PDFs of all original letters that I have to those interested. I wouldn't have believed this either if I hadn't lived through it and seen it with my own eyes.
