Their origins are also often based on superstitions and related beliefs used to explain phenomenon. The Meccho Bhoot is said to be a Water dwelling Spirit, often described as a large ''Ball of Fur'' with ''large eyes and mouth''. They can sometimes take the form of an Old Man. The Mechho Bhoot likes to linger near rivers and lakes – or just about anywhere fish and fishermen are found. The constantly ''beg'' for food (fish). Traditionally, One should give a fish to a Bhoot of this nature – for they will NOT leave you along until you do!
