People may wonder why this river is so blue and despite of
heavy rains it doesn’t shows any even little sign of being contaminated. Scientists have found
out that river that has high concentration of dissolved lime gives the water a turquoise
color e.g the Havasu Falls ”.

Apparently, native folks possibly won’t believe this so
scientific explanation. Such that legend will always be a legend and folks’
story will remain folk story. J People in
this town believed that there are mysterious creatures that guard the river. That
is why it remains still since from the beginning.

Every 12:00-1:00pm, the bell rings. This signals the people
to go out from the water because this is time to feed the fishes. While
feeding, they play music that had us goose bumps. I heard different people
commenting the same "The music seems like to invite or call these unknown
creatures from nowhere.” Creepy indeed! Native people from the place would just
say it’s a ‘nature-song’. Yeah we heard
it right. What interest us the most are these big and colorful fishes splashing
when getting their food? Where they come
from? How did these people set time to feed these sea creatures? It never stops
us from being curious. Even now, I still
wonder if “Enchanted River” really is true. Are we just being ‘enchanted’? Nah.
