This program has been POSTPONED. We all know the Christmas tradition of Santa, but have you ever heard of the Christmas devil called Krampus? In some European countries, this half-goat, half-demon creature was thought of as a companion to Santa. While Santa would give out gifts to good children, Krampus would whip bad children, or toss them into his sack and carry them away to the woods. But Krampus isn’t the only holiday demon. There are many others, each with their own method of dishing out a little slice of Yuletide horror. Join paranormal expert Barry Pirro as he discusses these terrifying Christmas traditions.
