According to the story of the guides who give information about these tourist attractions the stone chairs were left by king Siallagan, who was the first man discovered Siallagan, took control over it and opened it to outsiders.

Visitors must enter the village through a small gate which has a stone statue nearby which represents King Siallagan taking control over his people and especially bringing justice to the criminals in that village.

The king would look into the matter and decide that the punishment should be. One form capital punishment was to place the criminal in stocks or to have him beheaded.

A death sentence had a very strict rule. First, they determined the execution date. The criminal, then was put in stocks in a cage under the king’s house as a prisoner. On the day decided, under the watch of the local leaders, the prisoner was taken out from the stocks and brought to the place of execution, he was given an opportunity to say his last words or ask for the food that he liked most (usually some particular Batak food such as “naniura(sour raw fish). Natinombur (grilled fist with lots of spices), Lomok-lomok(young pig cooked in blood) or nani arsik(boiled fish with spices).

At the execution place there some stone chairs and a large stone table where the prisoner was placed. Before the execution, the executioner would test the prisoner by cutting his body a little bit to see if he had magic power. If he bled, it meant that he had no magic power and the execution could take place immediately, if he did not, it meant that he had magic power. This meant that the executioner would have to say special spells to remove it.

The executioner would scrape the cutter on the ground. Usually after this was done the magic of the prisoner would be gone. The execution could continue with only one chop. After that the body was thrown away in a ravine near Lake Toba. That is the unique story about King Siallagan’s stone chairs which has become a popular tourist attraction.
