Teen girl’s chilling last six words to mum as she was eaten alive by a bear

The 19-year-old, who’d just recently got her driver’s licence, was on a hike with her stepfather when they surprised a mother bear and her three cubs. The duo were then mauled and eaten

A mum had to listen on the phone powerlessly as her teenage daughter was mauled and eaten by a bear during a prolonged, savage attack.

Over the course of three separate phone calls, 19-year-old Olga Moskalyova called her mother in desperation and agony while a bear and her cubs ate her alive.

In August of 2011, the teen had been with her stepfather Igor Tsyganenkov, on a hike to retrieve a fishing rod Igor had left by the side of a river in eastern Siberia, Russia.

Bears soon stumbled upon the duo though and Olga watched from the tall grass and reeds as her stepfather was overpowered by one of them and killed when his neck was broken and his skull was smashed in.

The terrified teenager ran for 70 yards before the bear was able to catch her, grabbing her by the leg. Over the next hour, she made three terrified phone calls to her mother, Tatiana.

In the first phone call, she began with six haunting words: “Mum, the bear is eating me!”

She continued: “Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!”

At first, Tatiana thought her daughter was joking. Months after the 2011 attack, she told the Daily Mail she quickly realised this wasn’t the case.

She said: “But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing. I could have died then and there from shock.”

Olga, a trainee psychologist at the time, managed to call her mum a few more times while she was being mauled and eaten.

Unaware her husband was already dead, Tatiana tried to call Igor to no avail. She then contacted police and relatives in the village of Termalniy, near Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, in the east of Siberia.

She pleaded with them to head straight to the river so they could investigate and try to save her family.

By Olga’s second phone call, she was noticeably weaker. She revealed her terrifying circumstances: “Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re… eating me.”

An hour after her first phone call, Olga again rang to speak to her mother, seeming to know her death was imminent.

The bears had left her to her fate and Olga said: “Mum, it’s not hurting any more. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much.”

Just 30 minutes later, Igor’s brother Andrei arrived with police and found the mother bear still eating his body. Olga, badly mauled, was also dead.

At the time, Igor and Olga’s deaths marked the latest in a surge of bear attacks happening throughout Russia, with the hungry animals venturing to areas that were once their habitat but have since been taken over by humans.

Though the bears’ hunger was not their fault, emergency services still sent six hunters to kill the mother bear and her three cubs.

Describing her daughter and all she had to live for, Tatiana added: “My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly and warm.

“She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving ­licence.”
