Folklore and Legend from the locals

I was told about the mysterious light recently by some friends from
Zacatecas. They said it was from buried gold that people would try to hide.
I have no idea if it has scientific vailidity. They also told me about a
laborer who was working on someone's house who found a cache of gold inside
a wall that the owner didn't even know existed. The laborer would sneak gold
out a little at a time until it was all out. Supposedly the laborer managed
his money, from the gold, well but went crazy from the gas the gold would
release. Again, I have no idea if there is any validity to it to the gas.
