EP: 44 BONUS HOLIDAY EPISODE- THE LEGEND OF KRAMPUS!
I wanted to surprise you all with a bonus episode this holiday season. I know we are still working through all our road trip episodes, but it's the holidays so I figured an extra episode wouldn't hurt anyone. Also did you know that even the holidays can't escape being associated with cryptids? Well there is a day that many know as St Nicholas Day, it usually falls on December 6th and it's a day where Saint Nicholas would go around and reward good children with treats. But what about the children who were naughty? Do they get any gifts? Well it's believed that Saint Nicholas had a companion known as Krampus and he is the one who would deal with all the naughty children. You may have heard of Krampus from movies, books and maybe local legends, but now it's time to hear about him from Campfire Adventures. Take a minute and listen to this short, but sweet bonus holiday episode. Happy Holidays from Campfire Adventures!
