Mayong village is commonly known as the centre for black magic, witchcraft and necromancy. It is not an urban legend, Mayongs history has been told and retold for generations.
Who would’ve thought that the small village of Mayong by the Brahmaputra river, in Morigaon district, hugged by the lush forest of Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, could also carry around a history dark enough to send chills down your spine?
Yes, Mayong village is commonly known as the centre for black magic, witchcraft and necromancy. It is not an urban legend, Mayong’s history has been told and retold for generations.

The people of Mayong have so many stories to tell, stories of how people just vanished into thin air, how people turned into animals and vice versa, casting spells on people so that the root of the problem gets “cleared”, and then, there is also the practice of Ayurveda for a number of ailments. Don’t believe me? Go, and ask them yourself.
