Yuletide Nightmares: 12 Creepy Legends of Spookmas

December 24, 2025 • Courtney and Teresa✨ • Episode 15

Welcome to a special BONUS episode of Storyteller with our lovely guest host- DES!!!!❤️🎄

"He sees you when you're sleeping..." and in some cultures, he's bringing a birch rod and a sack to kidnap you. ⛓️👹

This episode, Storyteller is going deep into the "Dark Side of Christmas." We’re breaking down 12 of the creepiest creatures from international folklore that make the Grinch look like a saint. Whether it’s the chaotic Kallikantzaroi goblins of Greece or the terrifying Wild Hunt screaming across the European sky, these legends prove that for centuries, winter wasn't cozy—it was a season of survival and supernatural judgment.

The Spookmas List includes:

Krampus: Santa’s demonic shadow.
The Yule Cat: Iceland's giant, man-eating tabby.
Gryla: The ogress who makes children-stew.
The Mari Lwyd: The Welsh skeletal horse.
Hans Trapp: The scarecrow-villain of France.
Plus 7 more festive nightmares!
