The term 'bangkong' appears in the provided sources as a type of traditional war or sailing boat associated with riverine peoples of Borneo. Multiple excerpts (including a listing of Indonesian indigenous inventions and ethnographic material from Ibanology) reference bangkong in contexts of boats used by Dayak, Iban, and Rejang groups, sometimes in accounts of conflict or raiding along rivers such as the Rejang. The supplied material does not describe a terrestrial site named 'Bangkong Rejang' in Semarang's Kota Lama district, nor does it present any folklore, witness accounts, or investigations of hauntings or supernatural entities tied to that name or location. Any linkage of the term to an urban Semarang site or to paranormal phenomena is not supported by the cited sources and should be treated as unverified or speculative.
