This statement is true.

A bisj pole, also called bis pole, is a carved wooden pole used in the religious rites by inhabitants of the South Pacific Islands.

The poles vary in sizes and their carvings depict human figures standing on top of each other.

According to the religious belief, if a member of the community had been headhunted, his spirit would prevail and linger in the village, causing disharmony and upsetting people. Bisj poles were erected to satisfy these spirits and send them to the afterlife, thus protecting the living members of the community and paying respect to the dead.
