Welcome back to the final installment of this month's series: "The Colourful Characters of Christmas!" It has been incredibly fun exploring all the different beliefs and tradition that make this holiday season so special, but there is one figure who we have yet to touch on, and she is possibly the most terrifying of them all. Her name is Frau Perchta, a christmas witch found in Alpine folklore, who wanders the villages with a pair of oversized scissors, ready  to cut open the bellys of ill-behaved children. I hope you all enjoy this final episode, as well as a sneak peek at the latest patreon one! Please, have a great time this season, and I'll see you all in the new year!

What if you were told that there was a creature lurking in the shadows of your nearby graveyard, waiting for potential prey? A creature that had the appearance of a man, but the teeth and prowess of a beast; a creature that had claimed the lives of two innocent children, and was still on the loose... What would you do?

Life inside a WW2 concentration camp was less than ideal for many reason: the meager food rations, the torture, the looming fear of executions. It's amazing there were some who managed to embue their fellow prisoners with hope; and none could do it better than Mr. Fritz. He was an eccentric fellow, always sharing a smile on his face and was quick to instill a sense of laughter in those who would have otherwise have broken long ago if it wasn't for him. However, something odd seemed to follow him. From early on, the peculiar little doll who had managed to erapture so many lives, seemed to have taken on a life of his own...

In the chilling late hours of December 6th, 1978, a night watchman out on his regular route, came across a concerning sight: someone was attempting to break into one of his clients homes.
