Winter has arrived in our sleepy Montana town, blanketing the festive season with a layer of mystery and darkness. In this episode of Haunts, host Courtney explores the chilling folklore behind one of Christmas’s most sinister figures: Krampus. From his devilish origins in pre-Christian pagan traditions to his unsettling partnership with Saint Nicholas, discover how this fearsome creature became the dark counterpart to the holiday cheer.
Why does Krampus haunt the season of light? How did he evolve into a cautionary legend for misbehaving children? And what does his tale reveal about the shadows lurking in our winter traditions? Tune in for a spine-tingling journey into the darker side of the Yuletide.
