While most people wrap themselves in cozy Hallmark fantasies and Santa stories, the Alps kept another name on the calendar: Krampus, the horned enforcer who shows up with chains, switches, and a sack big enough for the worst of the year’s sinners. In this episode of Cryptid Captures, Phreak digs into the old-world terror behind Krampusnacht, modern encounters with something dragging chains through attics and over frozen roads, and the psychological horror of a monster that doesn’t hunt at random, but only comes for the people who know they deserve it.
