COLUMBIA CITY AND
THE CURSED TREASURE
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

Columbia City and the cursed treasure.

It is believed, that a treasure is buried along the coast of where Columbia City, Oregon now stands. The legend explains that in 1841, a Spanish ship needed to stop for water and once ashore, the crew killed the captain and stole the valuable cargo. The crew could not decide how to share the loot and several others died in before a decision was made to bury the loot because of the Indians close by that were also killing off crewmembers. The treasure was buried on a plot of land known as Hez Copier’s farm and the crew rowed back to the larger ship and set sail.

Upon returning after a two years, in 1843, the Indians were gone, however, the treasure was nowhere to be seen.

After about 40 years of hearing of this lost treasure a group of Spiritualists, gather in Columbia City to try to locate the fortune. One of the mediums present found the exact location and the digging began, however, once a portion of some broken stone was removed one of the diggers fell dead. The excavation was halted. Again, in 1890, the treasure was the hot topic. The next piece of stone was removed and under it was found human skeletons, then one of the diggers this time went raving mad and all was stopped. To this day, no one has even tried to locate this treasure.
