A teen gave a horrific hour-long running commentary on her own death as she was being mauled alive by three bears.

Olga Moskalyova, 19, tragically lost her life in 2011 after she was killed by three bears near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in eastern Siberia, as reported by Daily Mail.

The tragedy unfolded after the teen and her stepfather, Igor Tsyganenkov, went out to a river in the village of Termalniy.

The duo had just gone to collect a fishing rod Igor had left previously, so Olga's mother, Tatiana Tsyganenkov, was stunned when she received a phone call from her daughter.


In the phone call, Tatiana listened in horror to the terrifying screams as her child was attacked by a brown bear and its three cubs.

According to Daily Mail, the teen, a trainee psychologist, cried: "Mom, the bear is eating me! Mum, it's such agony. Mum, help!"

Tatiana said she initially thought her daughter was joking but quickly learned there was a desperate struggle going on over the phone, and that Olga was fighting for her life.

"But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing," she added. "I could have died then and there from shock."

At the time, the mom did not know that the vicious animal had already killed her husband by smashing his neck and splitting his skull. Olga had watched the attack and tried to run until the mother bear grabbed her leg.

In one of the calls, Olga told her mom that the "bears are back," adding that the mother bear "came back and brought her three babies...they’re... eating me," per the publication.

When the call was disconnected, a panic-stricken Tatiana contacted police in the nearby village and implored them to go to the river where the heartbreaking incident was taking place.

Finally, in Olga's last call to her mom - almost an hour after the first - she sensed she was on the verge of death and shared her final words.

"Mom, it’s not hurting anymore. I don’t feel the pain. Forgive me for everything, I love you so much," she told Tatiana. The call was then cut off.

Unfortunately, Olga was already deceased by the time Igor's brother arrived at the scene with cops. Six Hunters were then sent into the area to find the bears responsible for the slayings.

A weeping Tatiana paid tribute to her beloved daughter in the wake of her sudden death, saying that she was happy with her life and boyfriend Stepan.

"My daughter was such fun. She was so cheerful, friendly, and warm," she said. "She had graduated from music school, and just days before the bear attack she got her driving ­licence."
