They have been made immortal through Hollywood movies and are sometimes believed to be super-humans with magical powers.

Their ability to disappear is attributed to their use of "trap-doors" in floors and secret pivotal doors in walls. Their residences had hidden escape routes and movable floorboards where their weapons were stashed.
