The cliffs at the edge of Lake Toba was falling. Chrysanthemum's father and mother and all the people ran thither to escape. They left the mouth of the hole the rock, so that poor Chrysanthemum can not be rescued from the crush of rock.

Some time after the earthquake stopped, suddenly appeared a large rock that resembles a girl's body and as if hanging on the wall of the cliff at the edge of Lake Toba.

Legenda Batu Gantung

Suatu ketika, di sebuah desa terpencil di pinggiran Danau Toba Sumatera Utara, hiduplah sepasang suami istri dengan seorang putri cantik bernama Krisan. Selain cantik, Krisan juga sangat rajin membantu orang tua bekerja di ladang. Setiap hari keluarga kecil bekerja ladang mereka di tepi Danau Toba, dan hasilnya digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari.
Suatu hari, Krisan pergi ke ladang seorang diri, karena ada kebutuhan kedua orang tua di desa tetangga. Krisan hanya ditemani anjing kesayangannya bernama itu Toki. Sesampainya di ladang, dia tidak bekerja, tetapi ia hanya duduk melihat keindahan alam Danau Toba. Sepertinya ia sedang menghadapi masalah yang sulit dipecahkan. Sementara anjing, Toki, datang duduk di sampingnya, menatap wajahnya seakan ia tahu apa Krisan berpikir majikannya adalah. Sesekali anjing itu menggonggong untuk mengalihkan perhatian majikan, tapi majikannya masih diejek oleh lamunannya.
Memang beberapa hari terakhir wajah Seruni selalu tampak murung. Dia sangat sedih, karena dinikahkan oleh orang tuanya dengan seorang pemuda yang sepupunya. Meskipun ia telah berselingkuh dengan seorang pemuda pilihannya dan telah berjanji untuk membangun rumah bahagia. Dia sangat bingung. Di satu sisi ia tidak ingin mengecewakan orang tuanya, dan di sisi lain jika ia tidak mampu untuk berpisah dengan pemuda pujaan hatinya. Oleh karena merasa tidak mampu menanggung beban berat, dia mulai putus asa.
"Ya, Tuhan Hamba itu! Tidak dapat hidup dengan beban ini," keluh Seruni.
Beberapa saat kemudian, Seruni beranjak dari tempat duduknya. Dengan air mata tertawa, ia berjalan perlahan ke arah Danau Toba. Rupanya ia ingin mengakhiri hidupnya dengan melompat ke curam kasar danau. Sementara Toki, diikuti tuannya dari belakang sambil menggonggong.
Dengan pikiran yang terus marah, Krisan berjalan ke arah tebing Danau Toba tanpa memperhatikan jalan yang dilaluinya. Tanpa diduga, tiba-tiba ia jatuh ke dalam lubang batu besar untuk lolos ke dasar lubang. Batu hitam yang membuat suasana di dalam lubang itu semakin gelap. Gadis cantik sangat takut. Atas dasar lubang yang gelap, ia merasakan dinding-dinding batu itu bergerak untuk menutup pada dirinya.
"Toloooonggg! Toloooonggg ...... ...... Toloong saya,! Toki!" Krisan suara meminta bantuan untuk anjing kesayangannya.
Para Toki mengerti jika majikannya membutuhkan pertolongannya, namun ia tidak dapat melakukan apapun kecuali hanya menggonggong di mulut lubang. Krisan berteriak beberapa kali minta tolong, tapi Toki benar-benar tidak mampu menolongnnya. Akhirnya dia mulai putus asa.
"Ah, aku lebih suka mati daripada hidup lama menderita," pasrah Seruni.
Dinding batu itu bergerak semakin dekat.
"Parapat [2] ... Parapat Parapat! Batu ..." teriak Krisan batu diperintahkan untuk beristirahat tubuhnya ..
Sementara majikan tahu bahaya Toki terus menggonggong di mulut lubang. Merasa tidak mampu untuk membantu majikannya, ia segera berlari pulang untuk meminta bantuan.
Sesampainya di rumah majikan, ia segera pergi ke orang tua Toki yang kebetulan menjadi Krisan baru datang dari desa tetangga berjalan menuju rumahnya.
"Auggg ...! Auggg ... auggg ...!" Menggonggong Toki sambil mencakar-cakar tanah untuk memberitahu orang tua bahwa Krisan dalam bahaya.
"Toki ..., dimana Krisan Apa yang terjadi padanya??" Tanya sang ayah dengan anjing Krisan.
"Auggg ...! Auggg ...! Auggg ...!" Ia melanjutkan menggonggong Toki berlari bolak-balik untuk mengundang mereka ke suatu tempat.
"Pak, sepertinya Seruni dalam bahaya," kata Krisan ibu.
"Ibu benar. Toki mengajak kita untuk mengikuti," kata ayah Seruni.
"Tapi hari sudah gelap, Pak. Bagaimana kita sampai di sana?" Kata dia Krisan.
"Anda mempersiapkan obor! Aku akan mencari bantuan ke tetangga," seru sang ayah.
Segera, seluruh tetangga telah berkumpul di halaman rumah ayah Seruni, membawa obor. Setelah itu mereka mengikuti Toki ke TKP. Begitu mereka berada di ladang, Toki langsung menuju mulut lubang. Kemudian ia menggonggong sambil mengulurkan mulut saya ke dalam lubang untuk memberitahukan warga yang berada di bawah Krisan lubang.
Kedua orang tua Seruni segera mendekati mulut lubang. Apa kejutan ketika mereka melihat sebuah batu lubang yang cukup besar di tepi bidang mereka. Dalam lubang melayang suara wanita: "Parapat ... Parapat Parapat batu ...!"
"Pak, mendengarkan suara itu! Grup adalah suara anak-anak kita Krisan ibu menangis! Panik.
"Ya, Bu Kedengarannya! Krisan!" Membalas ayah datang panik.
"Tapi, kenapa dia berteriak: Parapat, batu parapatlah?" Ditanya ibu.
"Saya tidak tahu, bu Sepertinya ada sesuatu yang salah di sana," kata ayah cemas.
Pak Tani itu berusaha menerangi lubang dengan obor, tapi bagian bawah lubang begitu dalam sehingga tidak dapat ditembus oleh cahaya obor.
"Seruniii ... Seruniii ...!" Menangis bapak Krisan.
"Krisan ... anakku! Ini ibu dan ayah datang untuk membantu Anda!" Teriak ibu-Nya.
Beberapa kali mereka berteriak, tetapi tidak mendapatkan tanggapan dari Krisan. Hanya suara Seruni melayang yang mengirim batu itu lebih dekat dengan meremas.

Beberapa saat setelah gempa itu berhenti, tiba-tiba muncul sebuah batu besar yang menyerupai tubuh seorang gadis dan seolah-olah menggantung pada dinding tebing di tepi Danau Toba. Masyarakat setempat percaya bahwa batu itu adalah perwujudan batucadas Seruni yang tertindas dalam lubang. Dengan batu-batu itu kemudian diberi nama "Hanging Rock".
