Assam is an absolute state located in northeastern india, filled with rich cultures traditions and its folklore.
its a shame that we don't really talk about our unique folklores.
I cherrypicked the best and intriguing legends and folklores.
>baak
A Baak is a long limbed, grey creature that lives in ponds and riverbanks. It imitates human voices to lure victims.
Villagers say if you hear your family members calling you from the water at night don’t answer. because it pulls you into the water.
many cases emerged where people were found dead near river.
>Bira
A terrifying female spirit feared for harming newborns causing nighttime distress, violent fits, bite marks, and drained vitality. Often linked to poltergeist activity, she may be driven by twisted maternal grief. Families perform childbirth rituals to keep her away.
>Chekama
A shape shifting dark shadow that appears as animals or huge monstrous forms. Its hypnotic gaze can control victims and lure near water where it dwells. People protect themselves with water deity offerings.
>Dohts
clawed wetland spirits with slick, oily skin, hunting anyone who shows fear he can sense the fear so he preys on it. Lurking in marshes, they drag victims underwater and feast on flesh. Their presence explains the eerie silence of Assam’s swamps.
This legend is very well known and its prolly one of my fav ones.
>Bordoisila
is a married female spirit who is also referred to as the Goddess of Storm. According to legends, she lives with her husband in a faroff land and visits her mother’s home in Assam during Bohag Bihu [the Assamese New Year in April] Her presence is felt through wind and storm, before and after the Bihu celebrations. Before Bihu, when she is said to be coming to visit her native, she is said to be happy and therefore there is a strong but pleasant and delightful breeze in the air. However, while returning, after Bihu, she is upset to go back and her anger and tantrums result in turbulent thunderstorms that often cause some destruction
>added this cause i found it, supercutey behavior.
>Jokhini
is the Assamese name for the commonly known female ghost/witch. Jokhinis are said to have long open hair, lure and manipulate men of wrongdoings, and are characterised to be greedy creatures. They are also known to be shape shifters who possess avatars of a beautiful woman to fulfil their evil motives. Jokhini is also known to be jealous of women who are married and pose a threat to pregnant women.
>Jatinga – The Suicide Birds
so this legend goes like, every year migratory birds in Jatinga suddenly dive toward the village lights, crashing into trees, walls, Early villagers believed it was a cursed “mass suicide,” and the pattern terrified even colonial officers.
Just dropping some reference before this legend.
>Fog is seen as the time when the boundary between the living and the drowned dead becomes thin.
>Brahmaputra Fog Spirits
Dense fog along river it is said that the spirits hides and calls travelers towards them. Locals claimed many travellers are disappeared in dense fog.
>Majuli Witch hunting Tales
Majuli has documented cases where villagers believed certain women carried 'daini' powers causing illness or crop failure. Some cases involved strange evidence like footprints appearing overnight, livestock dying in clusters, or people falling sick after the accused visited.
This was actually researched and worked upon by police and researcher its a pretty well known legend.
>Snake spirit
The Naag is portrayed as they can appear in human like shadow form, usually around water bodies or forest paths. Traditional belief says seeing it is a warning encounters were often reported after people went missing in forests or drowned.
Added a cool naag one i found cause why not, atp i think every region has their own naag legend.
