Not infrequently canoe shattered in the waves hit or destroyed due to hit the river bank because it is driven by the waves. There was a little ship turned upside down and drowned as a result.

According to the story, was once the waves numbering seven (7) high waves formed by seven ghosts. When the Dutch colonial period, the ships of the Dutch transport is very difficult to enter the Kuala Kampar result of this wave. One commander of Dutch troops ordered to shoot with a cannon of the big waves.
