The Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure from Austro-Bavarian Alpine folklore who during the Christmas season punished children who had misbehaved. The event held in Whitby helps to raise money for the Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary charity.

We’ve already explored some extremely creepy winter lore this month, but today I want to dig even deeper into the folklore about versions of Santa that aren’t so nice.
