After the war, people took to the grotto to take shelter from the rain, play, and did not notice any signs of abnormality. In 1991, a body of a suspected drug addict was discovered in a cave.

Mr. Cao Xuan Hung - a resident of Lien Hiep 2 hamlet - said that Len Chua cave used to be a military area. People later only found a few broken bowls and steles, with no traces of remains or special relics.

Notably, according to Mr. Duyet, the skulls and bones discovered showed signs of being placed on the stone banks, as if to "report", not to naturally distribute.

Many pieces of bones have been severely decomposed, showing that they have existed for a long time, but he and many people suspect that this remains were taken from another place by someone.
