An underground passage was said to run from Vigala church to the manor, letting the castle folk escape sieges and bring in food. Beside it lay a treasure cave behind an iron door. A man walking the passage saw a huge black dog sitting on a barrel of money, baring its teeth, and fled. Others saw it too. One man loaded his gun with a silver bullet and fired, and the dog vanished, but the iron door stayed locked.

Eesti keeles

Vigala kiriku juurest pidi minema maa-alune tee mõisa, mida mööda lossirahvas sai piiramise ajal põgeneda ja moona tuua. Tee kõrval oli raudukse taga varandusekoobas. Üks mees nägi teed mööda minnes rahatündri otsas suurt musta koera, kes ajas hambad irevile, ja põgenes. Teisedki nägid seda rahavahti. Kord laskis üks mees koera pihta hõbekuuliga, koer kadus, kuid uks jäi ikkagi lukku.
