Abstract

This paper discusses the myths that still continue and live around Troloyo Cemetery, a historical burial site in Trowulan believed to be from the Majapahit era. Many stories are passed down, such as the belief in a healing well, thick mystical fog, or even animals that die when entering the sacred area. Although some people see these as spiritual signs, others believe there are logical explanations. Using a qualitative method, this research collects stories from local people and compares them with written sources to see how these myths are still remembered and believed today. In the end, these myths show how people keep their connection to the past, even when the facts are unclear. In conclusion, it also shows that myths are not just stories, as they help shape the way people respect history, religion, and culture.
