3. Nishi: In West Bengal, the Nishi (night-spirit) is said to hide in dark places and call out to a person in the voice of one of their loved ones. Those who follow the voice simply disappear, never been seen or heard from again. The only way to avoid being whisked away by a Nishi is to only follow a voice if it calls out your name three times, since the spirit cannot call out more than twice.
4. Nale Ba: This story from Karnataka revolves around the words ‘Nale Ba’, which mean ‘Come tomorrow’. This phrase is seen written on the walls of many rural houses, supposedly to keep out the evil spirit of a bride who lost her husband. The spirit is said to take the breadwinning male of the family, causing bad luck for the whole house. The film Stree, starring Rajkumar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, is based on this legend.

5. Baak: From the northeastern state of Assam, the Baak is a demon who lives near ponds or lakes and likes fish. The people of Assam never carry fish at night without garlic or red chillies, as this is said to ward off the spirit. They also talk about plans to go fishing in low voices, lest the spirit hear them. It is believed that if the Baak hears you, he will take the form of a friend and accompany you on the trip, steal all of your fish, and bury you in the earth!
