That's a direct ripoff of Slavic folklore, FYI

Everything is derivative.

I saw that too!! I was googling about it for a while this morning, fascinating stuff! I enjoy the ways that they recommend introducing the character and house into a campaign etc in the Book of Artifacts, too. I think it's cool they use real folklore to give the game flavor and interest.

It directly says so in the text of the book.

Yeah, I didn't read the text on the page, only the title.
