The Krampus Letters

In a snowbound Alpine village where Krampus is feared more than the devil, anonymous letters turn Christmas into a season of terror for a young widow and her son. Set in 1893 Austria, this episode explores the dark intersection of European folklore, winter isolation, and moral panic, inspired by real Krampus traditions and historical imagery. The Krampus Letters asks how legends take hold, and what happens when fear becomes a weapon. Perfect for listeners who love crime, folklore, and atmospheric winter storytelling.
