Krampus — The Demon of Christmas
Krampus — the Christmas demon with a taste for fear.
Long before twinkling lights and Hallmark cheer, winter belonged to darker things:
midnight bells, rattling chains, and a horned creature stalking the snow, ready to punish the wicked.
This episode uncovers the folklore behind Krampus — Austria’s horned Christmas monster — and traces how a pagan spirit survived church bans, cultural shame, and centuries of fear to become the dark mirror of Saint Nicholas.
🕯 True hauntings, occult history & forgotten legends
