The story of the Baba Yaga was very interesting. Personally I have never heard of this folklore. I find it interesting reading and learning about other cultures folklores and supernatural entities. This story reminds me of Coraline, the Baba Yaga has similar qualities to that of the other mother. In the Baba Yaga, a girl is sent to see her aunt, the Baba yaga, by her jealous step mother. After asking another trusted family member first, they discover the girl is in danger and what she needs to do to escape the situation. She escapes by tricking the Baba Yaga with the help of a cat. Again this part reminds me of Coraline because of similar events.
