Club Paranormal Channel
About this episode
Join host Tony Sweet on this spine-tingling holiday episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal as he sits down with renowned author and folklorist Jeff Belanger to explore the dark and chilling side of Christmas traditions. Jeff takes us deep into the fascinating world of his latest book, The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts.

Discover the eerie folklore of Krampus, the terrifying enforcer of naughty list justice, and meet a host of other sinister holiday creatures like the Yule Cat, Gryla, and the goblinesque Karakoncolas. Learn about the surprising history of Krampus cards, the heavy-handed Belsnickel, and why the Winter Solstice has always been the darkest—and creepiest—time of the year.

This episode is perfect for those who love a little darkness with their holiday cheer and are ready to see Christmas in a whole new light. Be good—or beware, because Krampus might be listening!🎄👻
