Krampus: The Christmas Demon | Paranormal Dudes Podcast Ep. 79

from Paranormal Dudes · host Paranormal Dudes

Every Christmas we’re told the same story — be good, or Santa won’t bring gifts.But in parts of Europe, that was never the real threat.Before Elf on the Shelf… before Santa became a mascot… there was Krampus — a horned figure said to punish, abduct, and judge the wicked during winter.In this episode of Paranormal Dudes, we dive into the true origins of Krampus, why the Church tried to erase him from history, and why sightings, traditions, and nightmares connected to Krampus still exist today.Was Krampus just folklore?A fear tactic?Or something older… something remembered?#Krampus #ChristmasFolklore #ParanormalDudes #DarkHistory #Folklore
