The Ghosts At The Waterfall

Believe me that beautiful scenic water fall of Chamang was haunted.During the sixties every year at least one person was drown there.Very often found drown with head struck among the rocks even known good swimmers.

The shallow stream does not seem dangerous at all but strange enough people do get drown there.While I was attached to Bentong Estate in the sixties I often went there to enjoy a dip or so.The cool water and beautiful scene at the fall was very attractive then.I wander it has changed much.

I was quite young then therefore dared not wander about wildly,just sit around and having a simple dip though it was quite shallow.It made me wander how people could get struck within those rocks at the bottom.People through consultation of medium from the temple believe that the waterfall was haunted.

It was generally believe that the ghosts there were constantly on the lookout for replacements.Despite of these stories people still went there and got themselves drown.Many of these youngsters got their head stuck in the rocks at the shallow stream.The stream may be shallow but it was very fast flowing.

Some thing very suspicious were that initial locating of the drowning were difficult.Helpers would checked the stream downward but failed miserably drawing blank and very often a recheck would end up finding the body at the bottom of the stream where he was presumably lost.

Scary or not I do not know then but that surely drove the guts out off me to play the fool there,so were the friends that went with me there.Had it not been the presence of some pretty girls around then I would not had gone there at all,right???.
