In the 70s there is this Mr. Khalil Ullah, a severely mentally deranged escapee from the Pabna, I think the notorious Hemayetpur Psychritric Facilty who created a terror streak in public's minds by sneaking into mourges and local hospitals and stealing livers and other body parts from deceased just to eat and if I remember him correctly he was escalating into becoming or moving up to the next level where he was getting desparate and not finiding enough corpse was attacking weaks and sick people who couldn't fight him i guess thus he was moving onto live preys - a serial killer of necrofiliac/necromaniac ? (I am not sure about the right terms here) if I may. I remember him being caught and then what happenned to him nobody knows!

From what I recall, the gentleman in question simply developed a taste/predilection for eating human livers from corpses. He used to be an "orderly" at (I think) PG Hospital before being found out and institutionalized at Pabna Mental Hospital.

Lol, that Khalil Ullah story was just amazing. I've heard of him too...and until now I'm told that it's actually true. I wasn't born in the 70's...goes to show how long that urban legend lasted.

Chele Dhora !
(I guess its not much of a legend, as the issue of human trafficking is real)
But the whole idea of dupure khelte gele chele dhora niye jabe was a scary one as a 10 yr old kid.

Never knew why, infact i used to "not cut" my nails at night for a long time simply cuz i was told its not good. May be something to do with eye sight/injury as in the old days, they didnt have electricity and trying to cut nails with harricane/mombati alo etc was really not a good idea.

Dear BK Bhai
We actually grew up seeing this monster roaming around the streets of Azimpur. As most of us being kid will run away by the sight of him while playing on the street. Believe it or not he was close to 7 feet in height and had a really sportsman like physique. During that time he stopped doing the things he is famous for, generally he would go to Azimpur grave yard to get his prey. I remember we received the news of his death sometimes before leaving to Malibag.

I thought you were younger
That was such a bad time for our country. We still bear the legacy of that time.

Uno Wonrld bhaiya, what did you mean by before leaving to Malibag? He was leaving Malibagh, you mean "Kolija Kheko" Khalil Ullah and he got killed while leaving the area?
Or you guys used to live in Malibagh? You we lived in Malibagh/Mouchak Market all my BD life. I was born and raised in there, Malibagh/Mouchak Market area, Shiddheshwari, ShantiNagar area!!
Who killed Kolija KHeko Khalil Ullah in Malibagh? Do you know?

BK Bhai, I grew up in China Building area of Azimpur, playing cricket/soccer/badminton/shat chara/bombusitng/table tennis around Daira Sharif, Azimpur Colony, Palashi and Nilkhet areas. I would also go/walk all the way to Suhrawardi Uddyan crossing Shahid Minar/DMC/ Doel Chattar for morning walk with my grandfather. We left Azimpur to live in Pabna Colony, Malibagh during 1989 one year away from my HSC.

I like these ones, this jomidar bari legends.... where a rupoboti chhoto rani or chhoto rajkonna was murdered (thrown into a well or 'accidentally' shot by jomidar's dui-nola bonduk).... and now she haunts the deserted jomidar bari with the 'ghunghur' sound..
hehe... damn these legends has become so cliche over time, one of these stories has to be true....

An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or contemporary legend, is a form of modern folklore consisting of apocryphal stories believed by their tellers to be true. As with all folklore and mythology, the designation suggests nothing about the story's truth or falsehood, but merely that it is in circulation, exhibits variation over time, and carries some significance that motivates the community in preserving and propagating it.
