Are you ready for the holidays? If you’re not yet, we’re looking to get you into the spirit. Stephanie starts us off with a little lowdown on Krampus: a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as “half-goat, half-demon”, who, during the Christmas season, punishes children who have misbehaved, in contrast with Santa Claus, who rewards the well-behaved with gifts. The origin of the figure is unclear. In traditional parades and in such events as the Krampuslauf (Krampus run), young men dressed as Krampus participate and such events occur annually in most Alpine towns. Keeping with the holiday theme of things that come in boxes, Sarah follows up with the godawful true story of Colleen Stan: the girl in the box. Cameron and Janice Hooker abducted Colleen in 1977 and held her captive for seven years.
