PSOGLAV: The Dog-Headed Cannibal That Eastern Europe Tried to Forget | Slavic Folklore Horror

Long before vampires ruled castles and werewolves haunted the moon, Eastern European folklore whispered of something far more disturbing. This documentary explores Psoglav, the dog-headed cannibal monster of Slavic mythology, a forgotten horror that stalked the borderlands between civilization and wilderness.

Psoglav is a creature from South Slavic folklore, especially in Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia—a towering humanoid with a dog’s head, iron teeth, one eye, and an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Unlike vampires or demons, Psoglav does not seduce, bargain, or curse. It hunts. Through ancient oral legends, we uncover how Psoglav embodied fears of cannibalism, moral collapse, corrupted guardians, and the terrifying idea that monsters are not born—but made.

This video breaks down the symbolism, cultural origins, and psychological horror behind Psoglav, exploring why it lived in borderlands, why it targeted villages and families, and why it was eventually erased from popular myth. From dog-headed guardians turned predators to the taboo of cannibalism, Psoglav represents one of the darkest warnings in Slavic folklore.

If you are fascinated by dark mythology, ancient monsters, Slavic legends, Balkan folklore, forgotten horrors, and mythological documentaries, this video is for you.
