Nishi(Bengal)
the night hunters
Are the ghosts who cry peoples name in the dead of
night and lead them away, never to be seen. Nishis are usually resides on
isolated pathways and their voice is similar to that of owl what they do with
the humans is still a mystery but if you turned back on their call it will be
fairly dangerous for you, if you ignore their call thrice and walk away then
they can’t harm you in any way.
Although nothing exactly is known about them but it
is said that it’s a cult of half alive entities who used to worship owl as an
embodiment of darkness and live in forests.
The attributes of Nishis are-
• They only hunt at night specifically
in between 12 to 3 when the darkest hour is on play.
• They have tall and strong body with
big and dense hairs all over
• They are cannibals
• According to some folktales they can
fly for small distances
• They have big and shiny eyes and they
can see very well in the dark
• They usually hunt the passengers who
forget their path in forests and dense wood parts
• They are very afraid of sharp light
and fire.
• Their height is around 7 to 9 feet and
they can run very fast.
• Their voice is somewhat owls voice and
clearly sounded as humans voice.
Another folktale says that Nishis are very old cults
dated way back to pre-independence times who refuse to come to urban areas and
stayed back in jungles and with the passage of time and due to their odd living
life style they develop strange biological changes and gained super human
strength and adverse became cannibal.
Fortune favors
the brave (Story)
This incident happened with Vinod who was a scout
guide in his school. This episode took place when he was coming back to his
village which was near Masturi (Madhya Pradesh) as the distance from the bus
stop to his village was around 4kms and while he reached at night he had to
wait for a substantial period of time for any means of transport.
It was the month of December and the environment was
chilled with cold breezes and blurred with fog which was denser in the rural
areas.
Being a scout student Vinod was use to walk over
long distance quite regularly so after waiting for an hour for transport he
ultimately decided to walk instead of wasting his time.
As he walked hardly for half a kilometer he suddenly
sensed increase in the shouting of owls around him. He was born in this village
and had a bit of an idea about that place and soon he realized that it was his
mistake to come alone to this place at this dark hour of night but now as he
had come so far there was no use of going back to bus stand so somehow he made
his mind firm and continued strolling.
After another half kilometer he realized that
someone called his name from the back in growling voice but Vinod ignored that
call and keeps on walking. The breez become more sever and the cold increases,
the environment was so silent that Vinod could hear the sound of his footsteps
clearly. Vinooodddee someone growled again from his back and this time the
voice was even louder.Vinod all of a sudden came to halt but somewhere in his
mind there was the warning by his grandmother Never turn back in the night when
someone calls you from behind by your name he paused there for a moment and
started walking again with more pace towards his village. After he crossed the
half way mark he came to realize that someone else is walking right behind him
as he could hear the clear footsteps along with the creeping sound of leaves
and bushes behind him. He was stunned with fear but he was a strong hearted person and anyhow manage
to control his nerves and walk straight forward without turning back.
Soon the lights started to come in his vision and he
became a little relaxed having the sight of the light when two things happen at
the same time suddenly, an owl came shouting at his face and someone called his
name again, Vinod fell to the trap and he forced to turn back ……….
He was amazed as what he saw there was a giant
creature somewhat man like creature with 7 feet tall and muscular body ,his
face was not visible due to fog but his nails were shining in that full moon
night and his intentions were very clear he wanted to hunt down Vinod. Vinod
srung up on his feet all of a sudden and started running with his full strength
and energy but that creature felt to be flyed over his head and come and stand
right in front of him, Vinod was standstill his senses had left him and that
creature slashes his claw on his chest sever scratches were made Vinod fell on
ground and his luggage fell down and as that creature started coming towards him Vinod noticed his
eyes were green ,he came back to his senses and decided to take the bull by the
horns. He extended his hand to take a stone but he by mistake grabbed a sun
flair which had fell out of his bag he was out of wits so he lit the sun flair
with his lighter and thrown it straight to that creature.
Ggrrraaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh a big growled like an owl had shouted with human’s
voice had echoed the environment as sharp light had made him blind for few
moments. Vinod spotted the alkalis heel and started throwing one signal flair
after the other on him he can’t withstand this attack and runaway into the
dense forest.
Vinod started running towards the village with one
hand holding the burning signal flair and other hand covering the scratches on
his chest.
As he saw the first house he dashed the door and
started knocking it furiously when the door was opened the owner was shocked at
Vinods position he was at once given some first aid treatment and inform his
family.
It take over a week for Vinod to get back to his
normal self but he is probably the only person who has seen the Nishi and
escape alive known to mankind.
