Also in the past years, even adults have fell into the bottom of the waterfall by accident. With all of the incidents happened, there were some supernatural rumors arisen and made the place mysterious.

One of the rumor was about a group of kids playing at the waterfall and discovered a lady with long hair and wearing a long white dress washing her face at the bottom of the waterfall. They feel suspicious and try to approach her from the back. She looked back to them and the kids discovered that her face was blank without eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Another rumor was about the area around of the waterfall was actually a cemetery called “Kai Lung Wan East Cemetery” but was demolished and rebuild as the public house complex nearby and therefore those bodies without claimed by their families, their souls stay at that area around the waterfall.
