This is a superstitious practice, like sati, which had no basis in the Vedas.
In fact, you can see in the Ramayana, Rama's lieutenant Hanuman battling and killing Mahiravana who indulged in such human sacrifice.
Similarly, in the Mahabharatha, Krishna along with Arjuna and Bheema, challenged Jarasandha, who similarly indulged in thuggism or human sacrifice, which Krishna deplored, and slayed Jarasandha.
For superstitious reasons, such practices persisted, and they were wiped out few centuries back.

Right, I didn't know that.
What about those stolen sacred mythical stones that were nourturing the village? The Leader of the village explained, that the stones had been given to them by Shiva Himself.
They were stolen by the Kali worshippers...I think it was Kali...
