***HEAD'S UP!***

In this Christmas episode, we will be going over the origin of St. Nicholas and how he developed into Santa Claus. Due to this, it's best to not listen to this episode around children who still may believe in Santa Claus as it will definitely spoil the magic for them.

Happy Christmas, Fiends! Happy Holidays to those who celebrate other holidays! And for those who do not celebrate, we hope you have the best weekend! Today, we discuss Krampus and his kid-snatching self. Is he a demon from the fiery pits of hell? Or is he just a misunderstood creature that has been twisted and reformed into something hideous due to the church's desire to abolish Paganism?  We also dive into two listener tales that will keep us up tonight. Seriously. For Video Evidence we watch some fantastic poltergeist activity and Andrew catches something Isabell missed while watching it the first time. And let us tell you, it's super creepy. We finish out the episode with a cryptid that... is a horse that loves to rap battle. Ya... you read that right.
