Speaker 1 (00:08):
Welcome Weirdos. I'm Darn Marler and this is Weird Darkness.
Here you'll find stories of the paranormal, supernatural, legends, Lord
the strange, and bizarre, crime, conspiracy, mysterious, macabre, unsolved and unexplained.
Coming up in this episode, we'll look at some of

(00:31):
the history of Santa and his cohorts and how they've
all not been as jolly as we know them. Now,
I'll tell you an Icelandic Christmas story that is so
creepy the government was forced to censor it. But first,
Christmas parties are a time for joy, laughs, and family,
a time to be shared with the ones you love.

(00:53):
But sometimes the ones who love us have a different,
more sinister plan. That was the case of Bruce Jeffrey Pardo,
the Killer Santa. We begin with that story. Now, bult
your doors, lock your windows, turn off your lights, and
come with me into the Weird Darkness. Bruce Jeffrey Pardo

(01:42):
grew up in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California.
He graduated from John H. Polytechnic High School and went
on to study computer science at California State Northridge. A
bright man, he graduated and secured himself a job as
a software engineer for jet Propolush Laboratory. Bruce wasn't the

(02:03):
model employee, spending time hacking the company systems to access
private personnel information, including but not limited to compensation, tax information, etc.
He also had very poor attendance. Despite all of this,
by nineteen eighty eight, at the age of twenty four,

(02:24):
he found himself engaged to Delia, a fellow employee. Bruce
still lived with his mother and wasn't in the best
financial shape, so Delia agreed to pay for a wedding
reception at the country club, as well as a honeymoon
in Tahiti. Everything was set up and both Delia and
Bruce's mother were excited. The big day arrived on June seventeenth,

(02:47):
nineteen eighty nine. Delia waited at the church in nervous anticipation,
but Bruce never showed up. She later discovered that he
had withdrawn three thousand dollars from their joint bank account
and took a trip of his own to Palm Springs, Florida.
Dehlia called off their engagement and things went back to

(03:10):
how they used to be. It wasn't until two thousand
and one that Bruce found himself in another difficult situation.
He was living with his new girlfriend, Eleanor and their
thirteen month old son, Matthew, in Woodland Hills, California. It
was the most stable relationship Bruce had ever had, and
things were going really well. That is until the day

(03:33):
Eleanor went out, leaving Bruce home alone with the baby.
Bruce turned on the television and got sucked in. He
wasn't paying careful attention to Matthew, and the boy fell
into the backyard pool. When Eleanor returned home, she found
Bruce holding their son nearly hysterical. Matthew was rushed to

(03:54):
the hospital, and after just one week of intense medical attention,
the doctors informed them that their son would never fully recover.
In fact, Matthew had sustained brain damage and was now
a paraplegic. As Bruce did when things got hard, he left,
never to see his son again, despite his mother's continued

(04:16):
interest in and support of the child. In two thousand
and four, a coworker of Bruce's introduced him to his
sister in law, Sylvia. Sylvia was a forty year old
mother of three, and they hit it off right from
the start January twenty ninth, two thousand and six, the
couple was married. Bruce purchased a three bedroom, four hundred

(04:38):
fifty two thousand dollars home in Montrose. The happy family
attended church together regularly. Bruce even volunteered as an usher.
But things are not always as they seem. The relationship
was suffering under financial stress, and then Bruce's mother, Nancy,
decided she had to say something. She was quite fond

(04:59):
of Sylvia and knew her son had his troubles. She
told Sylvia about her son's past relationships, including that with
Eleanor and their son, Matthew. Sylvia was shocked by this revelation,
having not known anything about Matthew, and further angered by
Bruce's dishonesty and his lack of responsibility. Then it was

(05:22):
discovered that although Bruce had not seen his son since
that day in the hospital, he was still continuing to
claim him on his taxes as a dependent. Sylvia filed
for divorce in April two thousand and eight, and Bruce
spiraled into depression. In June, he purchased his first gun,

(05:42):
a nine millimeter handgun. On June eighteenth, in divorce court,
he was ordered to pay one thousand, seven hundred and
eighty five dollars per month in spousal support. He wrote
his first check, which bounced, and then he stopped payment
on the second, making no further attempts to pay. On

(06:02):
July thirty first, he was fired from his job for
billing fraudulent hours. He applied for unemployment, but was denied
as workers who are fired are deemed ineligible. On August eighth,
Bruce purchased another nine millimeter handgun, followed by another purchase
on September eighth. He then contacted one of his neighbors, Jerry,

(06:25):
who happened to be the proprietor of Jerry's costumes. He
requested a custom sized Santa suit with a little extra
room for comfort, as he was six foot four and
two hundred seventy pounds, making a standard suit too small.
He told her that it was for a children's party,
and he paid a two hundred dollars deposit with a

(06:45):
promise to pick up and pay the rest in November. Then,
on October eleventh, he purchased his fourth handgun. He received
a call from an old high school friend, Steve Irwin,
who asked him over to his home in Iowa to
celebrate his forty fifth birthday. Bruce accepted, and while he
was there, confided in Steve. He was embarrassed that his

(07:08):
personal life was open and on display in court, where
everyone could see his finances and now knew of his firing.
Even more so, he was upset that he and his
mother hardly spoke, and during the divorce proceedings, she chose
to sit with Sylvia's family, not providing support to her
own son. November came and Bruce returned to Jerry's costumes

(07:32):
and paid the outstanding fee for his costume and even
left her a twenty dollars tip. On the thirteenth, he
purchased yet another handgun, now totaling five. He had also
acquired a Dewault compressor, a fifty foot hose, and a
tank of high octane fuel just one week before Christmas.

(07:55):
On December eighteenth, two thousand and eight, Bruce's divorce from
Sylvia was final. He agreed to let her keep her
diamond engagement ring and agreed to pay her ten thousand dollars.
The next day, he went to a Montrose travel agency
where he booked a ticket to Iowa, where he would
visit his friend Steve. He paid six hundred and fifty

(08:16):
dollars for a round trip flight that would depart at
twelve twenty am on Christmas Day and return two weeks later.
He rented a Dodge Caliber from Budget, then rented a
silver RAV four from Rhetoric. He loaded up the RAV
four with maps of the southwestern United States, as well
as water, food, clothing, a tank of gas, a laptop

(08:40):
and desktop computer. Early evening on Christmas Eve, he stopped
to chat with a neighbor, saying he was heading out
to a Christmas party. He'd been signed up to serve
as an usher for midnight Mass at the church he attended,
but didn't show up. Instead, at approximately eleven thirty pm,
dressed in his Santa suit, Bruce knocked on the door

(09:02):
of his former in law's house, where he knew his
ex wife would be. The door was answered by eight
year old to Letitia Usupulski, Sylvia's niece. Excited to see
Santa Claus, she rushed toward him. Bruce didn't hesitate. He fired,
hitting her in the face. He went on to shoot
indiscriminately at the frightened party guests. When he felt he

(09:25):
was done shooting, he unwrapped the gift he had brought
with him. It was a homemade flamethrower. He began to
spray racing fuel around the home, intent on lighting it
with a flare. Unfortunately for Bruce, the flames from two
separate fireplaces triggered an explosion. Bruce fled the house, dropping
a pair of fake glasses and his Santa hat in

(09:46):
the yard. He jumped into the Dodge Caliber rental car
and drove thirty miles to Silmar Parking, about a block
away from his brother's home. He carefully peeled his shredded
Santa suit off his body, as it had melted into
his skin from the explosion, causing third degree burns. He
used his suit to set up a booby trap. If

(10:06):
the suit was moved, a trip wire would ignite a
flash fire, exploding two hundred rounds of ammunition. Bruce's brother
returned home around three ten am and found him sprawled
on the living room couch with two handguns by his side.
He was dead, having shot himself in the mouth back

(10:26):
of the house. The fire soared forty to fifty feet
and took eighty firefighters an hour and a half to extinguish.
Nine people were dead and three others wounded. Due to
the intensity of the fire, victims could only be identified
with dental and medical records. Sylvia Ortega, Pardo Bruce's ex wife,

(10:49):
died from a gunshot wound. Alicia Sodomayar Ortega, Sylvia's mother,
died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Joseph s Ortega,
Sylvia's father, died from multiple gunshot wounds. Charles Ortega, Sylvia's brother,
died from a combination of smoke inhalation and gunshot wounds.

(11:10):
Sherry Lynn Ortega, Charles's wife, died from a combination of
smoke inhalation and gunshot wounds. James Ortega, Sylvia's brother, died
from a combination of smoke inhalation and gunshot wounds. Teresa Ortega,
James's wife, died from a combination of smoke inhalation and
gunshot wounds. Alicia Ortega or Tease, Sylvia's sister, died from

(11:35):
a combination of smoke indhalation and gunshot wounds. Michael Andre
or Tees, Alicia's son, died in the fire. Sylvia's eight
year old niece, who had answered the door to start it,
All who had been shot in the face suffered severe
but non life threatening injuries. A sixteen year old girl

(11:55):
was shot and wounded in the back, and a twenty
year old woman suffered a broke kennkle jumping from a
second floor window. It has been established by a lot

(12:19):
of my Yule Season episodes over the years that the
holiday season was not always merry and bright. There are
a lot of frightening aspects to the Christmas slash Winter
Solstice season that date back to the days of the Pagans,
who started most traditions that we still honor today. Many
would say that Santa's origin story began with the Norse

(12:40):
god Odin and his wild ride through the winter skies
to bring presents to the vikings, but others would say
that it began with Saint Nicholas, a Catholic saint who
was known for his generosity. But even this Santa origin
story has some scary and gruesome elements to it. In
European country, Saint Nicholas arrived bringing good cheer and a

(13:03):
demon named Crampus on December sixth. He was the gift
bringer who rewarded good children with stockings filled with toys
and treats. Crampus doled out the punishments for the children
who had been bad. But Saint Nicholas was no mythical figure.
He was a real person who became a symbol of
the holidays. He was known to have lived in the

(13:26):
fourth century in what is now Turkey and served as
a monk, then a bishop, and then an archbishop during
his religious career. Beyond these few facts, little is known
about his life. Most of what is left is legend.
Signs of his holiness allegedly began at birth, when he
immediately stood up to praise God and later refused his

(13:50):
mother's milk on fast days. He went on to become
the world's most popular non biblical saint, and more than
two thousand churches dedicated to him in France and Germany
and four hundred in England. Artists portrayed him more than
any other saint except for the Virgin Mary herself. He's
the patron saint of many things, including bankers, pawnbrokers, butchers, sailors, orphans,

(14:17):
and royalty, as well as pirates, prostitutes and thieves. According
to stories, Nicholas was very wealthy from an inheritance, but
he secretly gave away his money to charity. One legend
told about him is said to be the source for
hanging up stockings and giving gifts. At Christmas time, a

(14:41):
desperate father lost all his wealth and was unable to
provide dowries for his three daughters. This meant that the
girls would likely live a life of slavery in prostitution.
Hearing of the predicament, Nicholas tossed a bag of gold
through the family's window each night to make sure the
daughter had their dowries. Instead of landing on the fireplace hearth, though,

(15:04):
the gold fell into stockings that were hung there to dry.
Besides just being generous, Nicholas was also said to have
miraculous powers, as often recalled in one dark tale, there
was a butcher who was making a living by luring
children into his home to murder them, cut them up,
and sell them in barrels as food during a time

(15:27):
of great famine. Yeah, that's part of the Santa Claus legend.
When an angel told Saint Nicholas of these atrocities, the
bishop went to the butcher's home just in time to
restore life to the three boys before they could be eaten.
I can't connect that story to anything we celebrate about
the holidays now, thank goodness, because having your Cristmas hand

(15:50):
get up and walk away would likely ruin your holiday traditions.
But well, here we are. Saint Nicholas is said to
have died on December sixth, which became a day in
his honor filled with celebration and gift giving. His body
was interred inside of a stone tomb in the church
where he served, but that is not the end of

(16:13):
the story. In ten seventy one, the church was damaged
during an attack from Muslim invaders. Fearful that harm may
come to Saint Nicholas's remains, Italian sailors broke open his
sarcophagus and stole his bones away to Bari, where they
believed they would be safe. The stolen bones were interred

(16:33):
in a crypt in the Basilica Dye San Nicola by
Pope Urban the Second and were undisturbed for almost nine
hundred years until nineteen fifty three, when they were removed
for safe keeping while the church underwent restoration. Once the
bones were out, though, words spread that a mysterious, sweet
smelling oily liquid was oozing from Saint Nicholas's bones a

(16:58):
liquid with healing properties. Even today, the small amount of
liquid is mixed with holy water and sold to pilgrims
as a curl. Somehow, over the centuries, Saint Nicholas's bones
have spread around the globe. There are dozens of churches
around the world claiming to possess teeth and other bone

(17:22):
fragments of Saint Nicholas. They can be found in Belgium, Italy, Turkey, France,
and were also at the Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in
New York, which was destroyed on September eleventh. One of
the most famous relics can be found at the Saint
Martha of Bethany Church and Shrine of All Saints in

(17:43):
the town of mort Grove, Illinois. They actually have bones
and relics from nearly three thousand saints, including Saint Nicholas.
His pelvic bone was bought on eBay from an order
of nuns in France, but locals swear it is authentic.
I guess you can judge that for yourself. Unfortunately, our

(18:05):
modern Christmas traditions are lacking in stories of cannibalism and prostitutes,
but we still have the story of the Man who
would eventually be turned into Santa It took the Protestant
Reformation to replace Saint Nicholas as the Christmas bringer of gifts.
Gift Giving Day was moved from December sixth to December

(18:25):
twenty fifth, which had been chosen for Christ's birth date
by the Church, which wanted to remove all of the
pagan connections to winter celebrations. And that brings us to
Santa Claus, who was still called Saint Nicholas at first.
The jolly fat man with the long white beard, red
suit and cap, trimmed in fur boots, and a big

(18:47):
sack of toys slung over his shoulder. He arrives every
Christmas Eve from the North Pole in a sleigh pulled
by reindeer, dropping down chimneys to bring gifts to children.
But it wasn't always this way. Our ancestors in the
nineteenth century hadn't really made up their minds about what

(19:08):
Sanna was supposed to look like. He was just being
invented in America, and every artist and newspaper writer seemed
to have his own ideas of what he looked like
and how he made his holiday rounds. The first written
description of the American Saint Nicholas was by Washington Irving,
author of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow in eighteen oh nine,

(19:29):
with the Dutch owned Old New York. Saint Nicholas showed
up on Christmas afternoon in a horse drawn wagon, traveling
over the roofs of houses and pulling presents from his
pockets and dropping them down chimneys of the homes of
people he liked. The formal name for Saint Nicholas, Sint Nicholas,
was later slurred by American children into Center Claus and

(19:53):
then Santa Claus. A very rare small book, The Children's
Friend in eighteen twenty one by an unknown author, is
the first American book about Christmas. In it, a fur
wearing Santa Claus all one word is pictured on rooftops
and a sleigh drawn by a single reindeer. And just

(20:16):
twelve years his name had changed, and now he had
a sleigh, reindeer, and a fur suit. There's no known
record as to how all of that happened. And then
came the eighteen twenty two poem A Visit from Saint
Nicholas by American poet Clement Moore. In it to Saint
Nicholas is now described as chubby and plump, a right

(20:39):
jolly old elf, and dressed in furs from his head
to his foot. He also has a white beard, smokes
a pipe, has a bundle of toys on his back,
and a tiny sleigh pulled by eight miniature reindeer, each
of whom now has a name. In the years that followed,
Santa Claus was literally invented by writers and artists across

(21:03):
the country. His attributes, like keeping bad children in line
with threats of lumps of coal instead of gifts, were
imported by the Germans and mixed into the legend. Even so,
depictions of Santa varied widely across America for the next
few decades. Every artist tried his hand, and some were

(21:25):
pretty odd and downright scary. Luckily for the children, most
of them were in black and white because color printing
was just too expensive in those things. But that would
soon change, and in the late eighteen hundreds, Santa gained
a new life thanks to artist Thomas Nast, who created
the image that we all know and love, a fat, jolly,

(21:48):
elderly man with a kindly bearded face, a belt around
his ample middle, and dressed in a fur suit and cap.
As full color lithography came into being, Santa's suit, which
had been described in a number of colors, became bright red,
a color which continues today. Thomas Nast had thankfully saved

(22:12):
Santa Claus for American children with a little help from
Coca Cola starting in the nineteen thirties, when the soft
drink began advertising in color in popular magazines of the era.
The first ad appeared in nineteen thirty but at apartment store,
Santa was painted in a crowd drinking a bottle of coke.
The ad featured the world's largest soda fountain, which was

(22:34):
located in the famous Bar department in Saint Louis. From
that time until nineteen sixty four, Coca Cola advertising showed
Santa delivering toys, pausing to read a letter and enjoy
a coke, visiting with the children who stayed up to
greet him, and raiding the refrigerators at a number of homes.

(22:55):
The original oil paintings were turned into ads in magazines
and in store displays and on billboards, posters, calendars, and more.
Whether we realize it or not, the Coca Cola paintings
have influenced our modern Santa more than anything else. But
Santa is far from the only figure that has become

(23:16):
a symbol of the holiday season. As we will see
in just a few moments, he just happens to be
the only one that is no longer terrifying. When We're
Darkness returns an Icelandic Christmas story that is so creepy

(23:41):
that the government was forced to censor it up next,

(24:04):
Given that it was a rough habitat to settle, it's
unsurprising that Iceland's folklore isn't exactly warm and fuzzy. In fact,
their first stories are almost as horrific as the Brother's
grim fairy tales. Even Icelandic children were not sheltered from
the rougher aspects of life during the Christmas season. For example,

(24:26):
the youngest children were told creepy tales of the Yule Lads.
Accompanied by their mother, Gryla and the demonic Yule Cat.
The Yule Lads prowled during the Christmas season. Children unlucky
enough to be kidnapped by them were cooked alive and eaten.

(24:47):
The Yule Lads had many iterations over the years, and
were eventually immortalized in a poem that is still memorized
in Icelandic schools. However, the original story of these scary
Christmas creatures was so terrible that it was eventually banned altogether.
After hearing the tale of these morbid Elfin lads, any

(25:10):
childhood fears you had of Santa Claus will seem pretty silly.
According to the legend, the Yule Lads would visit children
at night in the thirteen days leading up to Christmas.
The purpose of these visits was always malevolent. There were
thirteen individual Yule Lads with unique names and personalities. Each

(25:33):
one performed a wicked task related to their specific persona,
and they often stole food and resources that were important
to survival. Stick jarstar, kil Jaguar, and Stuffur were all
said to steal milk and farm animals. And I'm sure
I'm butchering these names. Please forgive me, Askasklukjer allegedly licked

(25:56):
up leftover food from potts. RecA took sausages, and ket
Croker held a hook that he used to steal meat.
Herroscaler would come and slam doors at night for the
sole purpose of scarying sleeping children. Curtinasniker supposedly followed children
to steal their candles and lanterns, leaving them alone in

(26:17):
the dark. The yulads were said to be parented by
two monsters named Gryla and Lapaluuoy. While both monsters were unpleasant,
the mother figure of Grila was particularly menacing. Dating back
to pagan times, the legendary Grila was a troll with
hoofs for feet and thirteen tails. She lived in the

(26:40):
mountains and would periodically come down into the towns to
hunt for bad children. Supposedly, bad things happened to the
children unlucky enough to encounter Griyla. They were placed in
a sack and dragged back to a hillside dwelling. The
kiddos were then boiled alive and eaten in a stew.

(27:01):
This is a considerably more morbid punishment than getting coal
in your stalking from Santa and his elves. As if
the stories of the Ogre parents weren't terrifying enough, Grila
and Lepouloi also had a pet cat that's even scarier
than the ewle lads. The cat did not discriminate between

(27:22):
good and bad children, regardless of behavior. The cat would
stalk and eat whomever, because it could only feed on people.
Children who received a new item of clothing were said
to be immune from the Yule cat, so perhaps it
was created to make children grateful for receiving sweaters as gifts.

(27:44):
What exactly were the Yule Lads and where did they
come from? Origin stories vary. Some stories said that freakish
creatures were from another dimension that existed side by side
with our own. They were essential invisible until the holidays.
Other stories claimed that the boys were children of Eve

(28:06):
that she hid from God. The lads were banished to
another world after God discovered them. Some other sources reported
that the Yule Lads were fallen angels. Whatever the origin story,
the Eule Lads were certainly never described as benevolent entities.
In addition to being menacing, the Yule Lads were described

(28:28):
as physically terrifying. They were always portrayed as ugly and
haglike in drawings. Some had unique physical characteristics that allowed
them to commit mischief. One had an abnormally large nose
used to sniff out food. Another was incredibly thin, so
he's able to slip through cracks and crevices in homes

(28:50):
to steal food. Yule Lads, while no longer is frightening
as they once were, do still remain part of Iceland's culture.
In fact, there is an Elf School in Iceland where
scholars can study the history and mythology of the Yule
Lads and other elfin creatures. Some people in Iceland legitimately
believe in the Freakish Lads and in other elves from

(29:13):
hidden worlds. People have come forward claiming to have interacted
with Elvin beings, and according to Iceland's Elf School, roughly
fifty four percent of Icelanders believe in elves. Before the
tales of the Yule Lads were written down, they were
shared via word of mouth. Stories varied greatly, and there

(29:35):
was a time when there were eighty two different Yule Lads.
In nineteen thirty two, the poet johanns Or Kotlam wrote
a poem describing only thirteen of them. With time, the
poem became so popular that thirteen became the generally accepted number.
The poem is still recited around Christmas time in some

(29:56):
Icelandic schools. In modern Iceland, it's life affable to think
that the Yewle Lads could ever be worthy of outright banning.
Children now leave shoes out for the Yewle Lads. Good
children receive toys and candy from them, while bad children
receive a raw potato. Somehow, the yule Lads went from

(30:17):
demonic child eating monsters to entities that, at their absolute
worsts put a root vegetable in your shoe. How did
that transformation happen? At the beginning of the twentieth century,
Santa Claus became more prevalent worldwide. As the more benevolent
figure became popular in Iceland, the Yule Lads morphed to

(30:38):
become a little less frightening. They were mischievous, and their
antics were toned down to make for a lighter and
cheerier holiday narrative. Why did people start telling such horrific
stories to children to begin with? Though Iceland was a
difficult territory to settle, given its rugged and cold conditions,

(31:00):
was hard for the early settlers, the eule Ads legend
may have been made terrifying to breed bravery and resilience
in children so that they could grow up successfully in
the difficult habitat. In modern times, the Euleads have been
toned down considerably. They're still said to visit children in
the thirteen days leading up to Christmas. However, their old

(31:23):
ways have been converted to be more child friendly. Lads
that would steal milk, for example, now politely request that
children leave a glass of milk out for them. The
misdeeds they commit are mostly in good fun. They may
lick spoons as a joke instead of malevolently stealing resources
from families in need. Stories of the Yule Lads in

(31:46):
the beginning, though, were pretty terrifying for young children. After all,
who would want to live in fear of tiny monsters
coming to take you to their ogre mother to be
cooked in a stew. In seventeen forty six, parents in
Iceland were officially banned from telling their kids' stories about

(32:08):
the Yule Lads. I guess if you're in Iceland and
