Haunted Canada | Krampus

Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry

The holiday season is upon us and one questions is always present.

Have you been naughty or nice? Depending on your answer you'll either be rewarded or you'll find a much more frightening fate will be upon you, and no, it's not a lump of coal.

For centuries, disobedient children in Austria and other Alpine countries have faced a truly terrifying Christmas consequence for their misbehavior — a dreaded visit from Krampus.

If you've misbehaved Krampus can be heard before he can be seen which makes him even more frightening.

The joyful sound of sleigh bells will be replaced by something far more sinister: the menacing clanking of rusty chains accompanied by the eerie tinkling of cowbells.

So be good for goodness sake because Krampus is coming to town.
