Summary

SKIP TO 00:09:51 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S EPISODE! Welcome to Episode 173: A Deep Dive into the Horrifying Rusalki of Slavic Folklore! Today we will be diving headfirst into the algae-filled ponds and rushing green rivers of the Rusalki, learning about their wants, needs, desires, history, and even - about some modern day sightings of them. What’s a Rusalka, you ask? A Rusalka is the Slavic equivalent of a mermaid, but usually depicted without a tail. She is beautiful, alluring, and above all - dangerous. Join us as Aly walks Nat through the horrifying details that make this sea dwelling creature different from the Disney-fied sirens we’re used to.
