EATEN ALIVE By Brown Bear and Cubs – Olga Moskalyova, RUSSIA

I remember reading about this story when it first came out back in 2011 and even now just doing this post, it still gives me the chills as I write about it. I cannot even begin to fathom what this poor child must have went through and even more shocking – what her mother had to listen to...

A DISTRAUGHT mother listened on a mobile phone as her teenage daughter was eaten alive by a brown bear and its three cubs.

Olga Moskalyova, 19, gave an horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death in three separate calls as the wild animals killed her. She screamed: “Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!’”

Her mother Tatiana said that at first thought she was joking. “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing.”
