According to the legend, the Haina stone, which might have meant "the Ancestors' stone" fills up a hole that goes down the heart of the earth. Sometimes, the Devil lifts it for doing some evil work, and then he goes and rest on the "Lit du Diable" (the Devil's bed). A tradition also says that the Haina stone has to be whitened every year at the autumn equinox, a way to "purify" the stone and to keep the Devil away from it. This isolated peak that dominates the landscape was well-known by the megalith-builders at the neolithic period. Maybe they used it as a landmark for placing some dolmens or menhirs
