003 – Krampus
from Bob After Dark Hosted by Bob Anderson
Have you been a good boy or girl this year? If the answer is no, then you may not be happy with the outcome. Instead of the fat guy in the red suit coming down a chimney bringing you presents, you may find yourself being tossed into a cage from some sort of goat demon. This episode, we look at the Anti-Santa, the Krampus. In old times Germany, good kids would be looking forward to getting a visit from St. Nick, while the bad…you get the idea. Krampus would leave bad kids switches, or in an extreme circumstances, you would get taken via cage back to the Krampus lair. Only to be tortured, and eaten. This bit of lore has oozed out into popular culture, with a popular movie, and even Krampus Cosplayers. On this episode, friend of BAD, Kael Star calls in. Kael leads a paranormal investigation team known as KS Paranormal, and is apart of group called Milwaukee Krampus. An organization that dresses as characters and helps raise money for charity, and does various other toy drives. Kael shares with us some history of the Krampus, and talks about a festival she participates in called, “Krampus-Nacht” the evening before when Krampus comes to visit.
