"اوژبانلو"در باور مردمان روستای "پابند" منطقه هزارجریب بهشهر، مردی است بسیار قدبلند که تنها سر او داخل خانه قرار میگیرد و تنه و پاهایش از خانه بیرون میمانند.
روایت است که پس از مرگش با پاهایش پل ورسک ساخته شده است. هرساله این پل را روغن کاری میکنند تا پاهای اوژبانو فاسد نشوند.

According to people living in 'Paband' village (Located in Mazandaran province in the northern part of Iran), there's a man called 'Oojbanlu'. This man is very tall and can only fit his head inside houses and never his body and legs. People say that, after his death, he made the 'Varsak bridge' with his legs. People lubricate the bridge every year so that Oojbanlu's legs don't rot.
