So the original legend has to be looked at as eye witness testimony. Until you can disprove the witnesses, it remains factual.

but what if the significant thing has already been found?....

Then sure : The "treasure" proponents would be ENTIRELY CORRECT . If, as you suggest, a treasure existed, yet was previously removed, then yes: The nay-sayer/skeptics are left very much red-faced, wrong, stupid, etc.....

I TOTALLY AGREE !

Ok, now please alert us to the evidence that a treasure was "already found". So that I (and fellow skeptics) can quickly go eat crow. I will most certainly and quickly be the first to do so.

You're right. Here is the proof, as found by the folks at the Blockhouse Blog.

I saw a leprechaun riding a unicorn. That's eye witness testimony, and an absolute fact until you can disprove it.

Facts, reason, logic, and evidence are mere speed bumps to a mind that wants to believe.

And so too are there VERY SINCERE people who believe they have been abducted by aliens. Or that they are Napoleon. Or saw Elvis or Bigfoot last week, etc... And in each and every case: They are 100% sincere.

In what court was the testimony given?
