Urban Legend Part-1 [List]

 

Nishi Daak : These spirits are also known as "andhere ki ruh".These spirits call people with the voice of there loved ones ,it is said that you hear this sound from afar distance and if the person follows this sound they end up in a deserted place where they have to face the dangerous Nishi. Legends say that whoever followed Nishi's voice they never came back alive or in some cases not even alive.

              -----------------------------------------------------

Preth and Prethni : people who die before their marriage and have pending wishes ,these unfortunate souls even after dying they look for having a lavish(rich) afterlife.They basically are in search for people who are rich and living their best life .Once they find a person like that they possess them and live in their body until they're satisfied.They are also capable of changing their appearance as they wish. And According to Indian folkcore they are seen in small lakes, ponds and wells.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Jokkho :It is believed that spirits like Jokkho are guards of materialistic things like money , treasure etc. And if a common man tries to rob that from them, then they are in big trouble coz these Jokkho spirits are really possesive over their treasure and they don't go easy on anyone. If you rob their treasure you'd first get the curse that their treasure contains (yes you read that right their treasure are cursed) and not just that in some cases they even follow you around without you knowing it and now it's upon them if you are left alive then you're lucky coz they don't usually do that.

         ---------------------------------------------------------------

Odiyan : These "Odiyans" are "Tantrik"(Doctrine of enlightenment).They are quite hard to understand you know the complicated one . They aren't dead spirits like other urban legends they are  humans who are really strong spiritually and have defeated the reality as humans they hold the power of controlling living beings as well as supernatural beings.But they are still different from the normal "Tantrik" coz to become a Odiyan they need to master in Black magic. After the sun goes down ,in the dark they can transform themselves into any creature in order to hunt  but they can't just do that anytime anywhere, for this they are supposed to rub a special oil on their body. And this special oil is made from the blood of innocent CHILDREN.

               ---------------------------------------------------

Yakshi :Females who are mercilessly killed become Yakshi after their bodies are dead . And just like any other urban legend they also appear at night time. By sitting on top of a Palm tree also known as "Tad ka ped" they wait for their prey . They mostly target men by luring and seducing them by their flawless appearance but the main thing is their eyes (Quick advice: if you don't want to be a dinner of Yakshi then never look them in the eyes ) it is believed that if you look in their eyes they possess you and also keep your body in their control you won't even be able to move an inch and this is how they hunt and stay in this world.

Urban Legends

 I love a good scary story — and I think this is universal, because mythology is full of random supernatural beings who are legit terrifying. I took a closer look at some of the more spooky ones, because apparently, I'm a sucker for punishment and now I might never sleep again. Here's my experience of the most horrific creatures in mythology:'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bhoots : Almost every kind of ghost is a bhoot, within Hindu mythology, but I went down a Wikipedia rabbit-hole and discovered an entire bhoot-ian subculture particular to Bengal. Their bhoots can be split into several different (terrifying) categories including the married woman ghost who you can identify by her shell bangles, the evil fairy damori who will follow their master's orders and kill whoever they choose, the cannibal owls, the Girl-from-the-Ring ghosts who live in ponds and lure young men to their watery depths, and most terrifying: the Nishi, who uses the voice of your favourite people to call you to your death. (The best way to guard against the Nishi? Remember that she can only call out your name twice, so wait to be beckoned three times before you walk out into the night.)

                      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chudail : Now chudails are about as common in India as bhoots, so no doubt you've heard the term. You've also probably heard of it as a synonym for “witch”, which is incorrect. In fact, chudails (a Persian import to India, actually) are the ghosts of mothers who died either during childbirth or before the ritual impure period was over, which seems totally unfair. Versions of this origin myth somewhat vary, but stay true to the Impure Mother part of it — if a mother dies during Diwali, boom, chudail; if you just happen to accidentally die in a confinement room, boom, chudail. Even infants are not spared: if you're a baby girl, and you die before you turn 20 days old, boom — you guessed it — chudail

Either way, no matter how old or young or beautiful you were before you died, what is agreed upon is that your appearance post-chudail is the worst. Black tongues, saggy tits, head hair that looks coarse and curly like pubes (which is just a really mean thing to say about curly haired people, of which I am one), pig snouts, and in all of these versions, her feet are always turned backwards, so you know what to look for. She's somewhat vampiric in her sexual desires, and will drain a man of all life force, sometimes having physical relations with unmarried boys till they get super weak and die and join her. And all of this is beginning to sound like a story made up by men. I mean, why would a woman who died in childbirth — childbirth! — love physical relation so much that she goes after every man she can lure into her web? It seems absurd.

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pishachas : Funny name aside (just say it out loud), these demons are literally born of Krodha, or anger. They eat flesh, obviously, and can possess human bodies, turn into different creatures and become invisible (so yes, you don't see them coming, and yes, you're f*cked if you ever encounter one). The mythology surrounding Pishachas is interesting though: while in some texts they're these evil demons, in others, like the Mahabharata, they are just a warrior clan, so much less scary. However, demons or just normal human warriors, they were given their own offerings at certain religious festivals, just to keep them at bay.

                   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

                   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vetalas : If you're an older sort of millennial, you might remember the TV programme Vikram aur Betaal which aired on DD National in 1985. But while that Betaal was cute, kind of cuddly, long white wig, saffron robes and lots of red lipstick, actual vetalas are really zombies, who live in cremation grounds and grab on to whatever body they can find to live in. A description in Encyclopaedia of Demons in World Religions and Culture goes on to say that a vetala is created every time a child dies and the corpse is not disposed of with all the proper rites. Once the vetala jumps into the body, “the face twists about until it resembles a fruit bat with slitted eyes”. Then the vetala uses its magic to suck the blood from any human it encounters, which lets its flesh bag body live forever and not disintegrate. Mostly it eats human shit and intestines, all of which makes you wonder how Vikram could stand to have the vetala so close to his face and breathing all over it all the time.
