**DISCLAIMER - This episode is from our early days. PLEASE READ** We request that prior to leaving any ratings and reviews based off of this episode, to please listen to anything from Season 2 (ESPECIALLY starting with our Minding the Beehive Series) and later. Our format and content as a whole has changed drastically (and arguably, for the better) since our beginnings. Thank you, and remember - BEE VIGILANT, for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive. S1 E10 -Ah, the early days. A Creepy Christmas - The non-bonus, bonus episode Amanda and Courtney wanted to get you all prepared for Christmas by telling you about some creepy Christmas traditions. Some are almost paranormal in nature, others just plain terrifying, or would be Cryptids (merry Cryptmas? Maybe? No?) and some are just… well, gross. There’s no true crime in this one except for maybe the fact that Court might have been murdered by the Santa Claus Strangler in a past life… SOURCES - The Santa Claus Strangler Courtney talks about - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Laudenberg (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Laudenberg) (YES I KNOW ITS A WIKIPEDIA SOURCE MY BAD OKAY?!) https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/hans-trapp/ (https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/hans-trapp/) http://www.factinate.com/things/facts-bizarre-christmas-traditions/amp/ (www.factinate.com/things/facts-bizarre-christmas-traditions/amp/) https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/dec/18/the-seven-most-terrifying-christmas-traditions-around-the-world (https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/dec/18/the-seven-most-terrifying-christmas-traditions-around-the-world) https://loudwire.com/most-metal-christmas-traditions/ (https://loudwire.com/most-metal-christmas-traditions/) https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/lifestyle/2019/12/11/1_4726583.html (https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/lifestyle/2019/12/11/1_4726583.html) https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/131217-krampus-christmas-santa-devil (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/131217-krampus-christmas-santa-devil) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti%C3%B3_de_Nadal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti%C3%B3_de_Nadal) BAKED IN PROMOS - A Little Wicked Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-little-wicked/id1574258047 While we did not even know Jason Usry of SANTA MAYBE, A CRIMINAL POD at the time we recorded this, We still wanted to type in a special red and green holly jolly shaped EASTER EGG TO HIM, not only to shout him out but also to let you all know to go listen to his podcast because hes legit one of the nicest people ever, and also, I had a conversation with him about my santa dream when I did meet him.
