Eeriecast Network
About this episode

Baba Roga - in Slavic folklore, is a child-punishing witch who lives in a forest cave and watches for misbehaving children through their windows at night. She's known for her iron teeth and bloody fingernails, dragging especially naughty children to her cave where she teaches them terrible lessons about obedience - if they return at all.
