Episode 96: Naughty or Nice? The Terrifying Legend of Krampus

4Ever Paranormal

Krampus, the half-man, half-goat figure from Alpine folklore, serves as a chilling counterpart to the festive spirit of St. Nicholas, punishing naughty children during the holiday season. Dr. Bill and his co-host Deb explore the origins and traditions surrounding Krampus, highlighting the eerie practices that have persisted for centuries. They delve into various bizarre Christmas customs from around the world, including Iceland's yule lads and Japan's KFC tradition, adding a humorous touch to the darker themes of the holiday. The episode culminates in a spine-tingling tale set in the Austrian Alps, recounting a family's terrifying encounter with Krampus, which serves as a cautionary reminder of the importance of good behavior. Listeners are left with a sense of wonder and a hint of fear as they contemplate the duality of holiday legends and the consequences of mischief.
