The 13 Yule Lads, Gryla, and the Yule Cat

Welcome to another episode of Believing the Bizarre! As we get closer to Christmas, we thought it would be fun to tackle Icelandic Christmas folklore - the 13 Yule Lads. Essentially, these are Icelandic pranksters that come to town one by one during the last 13 nights before Yule, and perform a particular task. Some weird and some even weirder. We also discuss the terrifying troll, Gryla, and the big black Yule Cat. But how believable is all of this Christmas fun? Listen now.
