You hear us discuss cryptids, legends and true disturbing stories from Western culture all the time. Let’s switch it up. We mentioned the Rusalka last week, merfolk from Slavic lore. In this episode, we give you a fascinating sampling of tales from Russia. Trust us when we say that you’ll never think about dolls the same way again.

Special Guest for Shitty Cryptid: Austin of the Something Out Of A Horror Movie Podcast. We’ll keep you posted when their show premieres!
