In 1930, a 21-year-old woman was rushed to hospital by her concerned parents due  her rapidly declining health.

The man who would take her blood that day became instantly obsessed with her and over the next year, would insert himself into her life in a very unhealthy way.

Unfortunately, the woman became so ill that she eventually passed away. Even more unfortunate, were the events that followed AFTER she was buried, and the terrifying lengths this man would go to in order to keep her in his life.

There's also a bit of Croc chat, as well as the annoying cycle of overwhelm, the lost art of the jingle and Monts tells us why she's embarrassed for no reason. Enjoy!

When Stavros Christofi moved to England from Cyprus, where he met and married the woman of his dreams, his mother, Styllou, was unimpressed to say the least.

In July of 1953, Styllou, who had never met her daughter in law, Hella, or her three grandchildren, decided to leave her village in Cyprus for the first time to visit the family in London.

And just a year later, Styllou would do something so evil, that the title 'Mother in Law from Hell' does not do her justice.
