Indian ghost warrior guards treasure----In the 1780s a courier carrying gold for American General Anthony Wayne along the Ohio river was ambushed. His gold ended up in a town (ghost town) called Shunk, then an Indian village on the banks of a small creek. When the Indians were forced out of northwest Ohio they buried the gold and other treasures. They declared that someday they would return for it. Realizing that someone might come and dig for it they left behind in the form of a ghost a guardian on horseback. Shunk still exists but is no more than a dip in the road on Ohio route 109, 5 miles east of Napoleon. Legend has it that when you are near the treasure, the ghost warrior on horseback will come thundering down on you...... Submitted by: idigdirt127
