Ep. 304 - The Baba Yaga

One of the most terrifying Russian and Slavic legends is that of the Baba Yaga, an evil witch who lures in unsuspecting victims before murdering them. But back in 2015, St. Petersburg police arrested a very real serial killer, who a lot of people compared to the legend of the Baba Yaga. This was a 68 year old woman named Tamara Samsonova, who claimed to have murdered and eaten as many as 13 people.
