This...there's actually quite a few stories of this happening across the entire world, in various cultures.
Stopping by a family, inn or village, where you get drugged and murdered or turned into food.
One variant I heard was that an inn only had one bed; if you were too short, the innkeeper would stretch out your limbs till you fit, if you were too tall, he'd cut you to size.
Another was that an inn (again yes) was famous for their meat buns that tasted of neither pork, nor poultry, nor beef, and usually had travelers and young women disappear in the area.
