>>14753647The Baba Yaga is one. you know the witch stereotype? it was toned down from this myth.
basically, it's an old scary woman who swoops down on children, takes them to her house that is a bloody bipedal mishmash of giant chicken legs and a shack, cooks them alive and eats them, among other things. she apparently cleans the skulls and bones of the children she eats and uses them as eating utensils. Texas Chainsaw Massacre grade shit, before it was even thought of.
that kind of scary.
