There are numerous types of spirits and related supernatural beings that repeatedly appear in Bengali culture, its folklores, and shape a crucial part of Bengali peoples’ socio-cultural assumptions and beliefs.

Bhoot Chaturdashi is similarly recognized as Naraka Chaturdashi. In Hindu myth, this is the day when the collective forces of Lord Krishna, Satyabhama, and Goddess Kali demolished the strong monster, Narakasura.

There’s one, the Mechho Bhoot, who loves to eat fish, Petnis are female spirits who expired bachelor or with unsatisfied needs. Daittyo occurs human-like but is enormous in comparison and unbelievably powerful, Nishis are dark souls that attract victims to an isolated area by blurting to them by the voice of a respected one, Brahmodaittyo is the type, the decent ghost of Brahmins, Gechho bhoot is the spirits that reside in trees, and Mamdo bhoot, the spirits of Muslims.

These are different beliefs, which are being followed for ages and followed with full of emotions and joy.
