Here, people liked to talk about everything, from the mysterious white alligators lurking in the Lake of Pregnant Maiden, to the legend of giants roaming the mountains and the Malay folklore of the screaming banshee that sent a shiver up your spine !
These mountains were believed to be a giants long time ago.
