Christmas Scaries Part 2 - The Covina Christmas Massacre

Happy Holidays Playground Peeps!!  I hope this holiday season is treating you well.  In this Episode, Christmas Scaries Part 2, we start off with a Christmas legend.. The Belsnickle – Adapted form an article by Marcus Schneck followed by the true and terrible crime of the 2008 Covina Christmas Massacre,  where Bruce Pardo shot multiple member of the Ortega Family and then set the home on fire with a homemade flame thrower.  Then, we go Victorian Era England, for an eerie tale, The Highway Men, written by by Lord Dunsany, about a corpse...swinging from Gallows Tree, and his three friends that still want to help their buddy out.  Finally, 2 true tales of Christmas Ghosts.  I know everyone is probably having a rough time this Holiday season as we can't really be around lots of family and friends, but I wish you a safe, healthy and merry Christmas.
