It relates to people, termed \u003cem\u003ekachinja, \u003c\/em\u003e who were rumoured to prowl the area, arresting passers-by and tapping their blood. Supposedly, Songhor survived this way throughout the colonial period and into Kenya's independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing emancipation, the White Highlands reverted to the indigenous population, and a settlement for the Luo, Kalenjin and Kisii communities. Folklore has it that people routinely dashed for the bushes whenever they saw a red car approaching. Its white owner is said to have used the car to transport captured Africans for slaughter. The man lived near the Songhor Museum Site that was founded by two white men in 1932, and gazetted in 1981. Two African families in nearby Tamu and Muhoroni are rumoured to have been complicit, acting as 'catchers' of Africans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the white man's homestead, the main house had a bunker-like hole with a small door, and a grilled opening. Keen observations lead to curious revelations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a fictionalized account based on a long-held myth.
