Stroud's Run - A ghostly buffalo is said to be seen drinking from the stream in Stroud's Run. The buffalo, later named Stroud, was the last buffalo in the area, and a law was passed that no one could kill it. Some members of either the British or French Army killed the buffalo anyway, and locals murdered those responsible while sleeping at their camp. One local took the buffalo's skull, hid the Army's money in it, and buried it nearby. The skull nor the treasure buried with it has been found.
 

I might have to go look for that. My son and I go camping at strouds lake. thanks for the info.....
 

good luck digging for this in a state park.... I see that people up north dig in the grass w/o problems.. but down here in SE ohio that will not fly.. I have tried it and know first hand... get caught and you will get kicked out or worse
 

If this is on state park property.....ask permissionto hunt the land from the land owners surrounding it....it doesnt say where...and legend says...."near"
