The Mechho Bhoot, a supernatural being in Bengali Folklore, gets its name from the Bengali word “Machh,” meaning ‘fish’. These spirits are said to have a particular fondness for the taste of fish, which is where they derive their name. It is believed they inhabit areas near village ponds or lakes. These sprits are usually unpredictable by their nature, as they can be both playful and dangerous with their victims. These entities can also kill people drowning them to the deep water till the victim looses his breath.
