Winter Things That Walk: A Christmas Folklore Special

from Strange Darkness Radio · host Bobby Washington

Episode 73 – A Strange Darkness Radio Holiday Event — Hosted by Benson   Step into the frost-covered shadows of Christmas night as Strange Darkness Radio presents a chilling holiday anthology hosted entirely by our spectral guide… Benson.   In this special Christmas edition, Benson returns with a lantern in hand to lead you through seven haunting folklore legends drawn from ancient winter traditions. These are the spirits the carols forget, the shadows the lights try to chase away, and the reminders that in winter… anything is possible.   Journey with us as we encounter:   ❄️ Gljúpni — The Hollow Boy of Ice A frozen child who measures kindness in the cold.   ❄️ Hodeken — The Goblin of Secrets A tiny Christmas spirit who exposes hidden truths.   ❄️ The Kallikantzaroi — Greek Underworld Goblins Creatures who nearly destroy the world every year.   ❄️ The Mari Lwyd — The Horse Skull That Wants In Lose a rhyme, and she crosses your threshold.   ❄️ The Christmas Bell Witch A voice you miss… calling from the frosted dark.   ❄️ The Red Dancers Crimson frost spirits who wait for one misstep.   ❄️ The Phantom Sleigh of the Dutch Marshes Silent… soundless… deadly.   Each tale flows into the next like a cinematic winter journey, culminating in an original haunted Christmas carol: “Winter Things That Walk.”   From Bobby Washington and all the hosts of Strange Darkness Radio — thank you for an incredible year of mysteries, stories, and supernatural adventures. We hope you enjoyed this Christmas folklore special.
