Description
A rusalka is a female water spirit in Slavic mythology and folklore. It has quite varied origin stories. Typically, they involved young women dying violent deaths. Sometimes it is murder, sometimes it is suicide, but usually it is a death by drowning. Rusalky haunt lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes, swamps, and any other body of water. These malevolent spirits would crawl out from the water in the middle of the night in order to ambush humans, especially men, who they would then drag, alive, back into the watery depths.
