Snow blankets the Alpine villages as the nights grow long and cold. Fires crackle in hearths, and children eagerly await St. Nicholas, hoping for treats and toys. But deep in the shadows of the season lurks another figure—a creature of horn and claw, dragging chains through the frostbitten night.

For centuries, the legend of Krampus has haunted the dreams of the wicked, a grim enforcer who punishes those unworthy of holiday cheer. Is he a pagan remnant, a warning to misbehaving children, or something darker altogether?

Join us as we journey into the heart of this chilling folklore. With each twist of the tale, the line between myth and reality blurs. Lock your doors and keep the fire burning—Krampus is coming.

Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe.
