Speaker 1 (00:39):
In winter's hush, when shadows creep and children shiver in
their sleep, A clogs creeps slope beneath the door. Crampus
comes to settle scores. With twisted horns and ember eyes.
He sniffs out every whispered lie, a rattle, chain, gull
of growl. He stalks the streets on midnight prowl. Good
(01:04):
children dream and candlelight. But wicked ones fear him tonight,
for in his sack the crewel are kept. Their cries
the only lullaby he's ever wept. So mind your deeds.
When stone storms fall, Crampus watches one and all.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, then you get the very best of us. How
about that again? With the spirits. With spirits, we like
to share information. Tonight, what we were going to talk of,
what we are going to talk about is Crampis.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Does everybody know what Crampus is? Yeah? Sweet? Anybody German?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yes? Oh you're German?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Shpuck in de Deutsch nine, Me too, me too.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I just pretend I'm a poser.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I mean, I just I only remember words from when
I was a kid because I had to keep up
with conversation when there was gossips, So I picked up
the odd word, but I can't speak it worth a lick.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
With December coming and now we're.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What do we know, November twenty sixth Ye, so November
twenty sixth, so officially December fifth is what they call
crampis nah, So basically that's the night where Crampus comes
out and terrorizes all the little kids. So we've got
some history and just want to talk about that because
it's such a fun, fun topic. I think Chelsea, our
(02:23):
friend from ravens End Books, she's having a photoshoot on
December thirteenth and she's going to have a Crampus there.
So if anybody's interested, go down to ravens End Books
because you can get your picture taken with Crampus. I
thought that was pretty cool. And then they do Crampus
parades too.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Not in the city.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
No, we've talked about trying to organize something like we did.
It's just too much work.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It is a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, but you know, you would think that the people
who are into Halloween with those would be the people
that would want to, you know, be in full force,
get their creepy, crazy Halloween costumes and do it again.
But you know, I digress. So basically the tale of Crampis.
Every year, at the end of December or beginning of December,
(03:07):
children everywhere prepare themselves for the arrival of old Saint Nick.
Sorry at the end of December, but most children will believe,
will believe they've been on their best behavior all year long.
But there's the one being that will have the last
say in that Santa might be coming to town. But
this creature is what every child should be worried about.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So originating in Germany.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Crampis is a half goat, half demon, and he stalks
the nights leading up to Christmas, searching forum, punishing and
misbehaving children. So the legend of Crampis tells us the
tale of the devilish counterpart of Saint Nicholas. Its name
is derived from the German word crampin, which translates to claw,
and this devilish creature stalks those who've wreaked havoc over others,
(03:54):
making them wish for the simpler days of a lump
of coal in their stalking. So European versions of Saint
Nick have had long and creepy counterparts like Nick Rupric
and Belschnickeol who dealt out harsh punishments to bad children,
and it said Crampus accompanies Saint Nicholas, who visits children
(04:16):
during the night of December fifth, and Saint Nicholas then
rewards well behaved children with small gifts, while Crampis punishes
badly behaved ones, as it wasn't logical or deemed saintly
behavior for Saint Nicholas to deliver punishments. So in the
seventeenth century, Crampus was viewed as Saint Nicholas's helper who
would go down the chimney and punish the naughty children.
(04:38):
So I guess that's probably where the tale of Saint
nick You know, Santa Claus going down the chimney, but
it wasn't quite him, it was actually it was Crampis.
Crampus is said to visit during December fifth and chases
naughty children with birch sticks, scaring them, smacking them, and
stuffing them in his tattered cotton sack, dragging them back
(04:59):
to Hell with him.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
It's kind of disturbing, that's a little yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
These kids would shit their pants and be on their
best behavior, right. So in Alpine Austria and some parts
of Germany, such as Bavaria. My family came from Bavaria,
so I know the story.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Uh, this day was known as Crampish, not or nah, nah,
you gotta.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Put that in there. An interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
German is such a beautiful language, except when you shout
owed d it sounds violent, but that actually means I
love you, So I mean take it for what you want.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So when adults may dress up as Crampis to scare
the children in their homes, the Austrian men would dress
in fur suits and wooden masks and carry cow bells,
running through the streets dressed as the fearsome Crampis, a
tradition originally meant to disperse winter's melevant to ghosts.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh you want me to say that word?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Sure Na, you gotta put the in it.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Wellpus continues into the present day. The introduction of mass
visual media swept the charismatically frightening Crampus up into a
postcard industry. In eighteen nineties, Germany and Austria experienced Crampish
snarcten Carton Carton, Sure.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I'm not German.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Well, I am German, but I have no German knowledge whatsoever.
Holiday cards adorned with the spooky sidekick. These holiday greeting
cards weren't meant to make you feel fuzzy inside, and
one's marked gross Mom.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Thanks, I'm not left handed, all right, um. So ones
were marked gross Mom Crumpus or Greetings from Crompus skewed
Crumpus stuffing distressed children into satchel and preparing to hit
them with bundles of first sticks.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Very violent.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Many of these postcards depicted the horrors of a meeting
with Crumpus, with children's and change stuffed into Crumpus's big headed.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Off to the underworld. Oof, I do the same time,
you know what, Like you want me to?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, go ahead, But I was gonna say, like, I
can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Even inflicting that on your kids. Yeah yeah, like I
do like my kids. I would be associated with that,
Like I do like them enough.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I mean, you know, maybe if they're really bad, you know,
maybe if he had like a real shit disturbed kid.
Depictions of Crampis During the twelfth century, the Catholic Church
attempted to banish Crampus celebrations because of his stunning resemblance
to the devil. So more eradication attempts followed in nineteen
thirty four at the hands of Austria's Conservative Christian Social Party.
(07:35):
None of them worked, and cramp has emerged even stronger.
Hasn't much feared and beloved holiday force. So Crampus has
shown in many different ways, but they all seem to
be fairly similar. The depictions begin with postcards.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh we said that part.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Sorry, But he's typically three times the size of a
full grown man, with a mangled and deranged face adorned
with bulging bloodshed eyes, and body covered with long.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Matted hair.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
He's typically covered in black hair and has a very long,
snake or dragon like tongue. He is hairy horned, usually
black or brown, and has one foot with cloven hoofs
of a goat his long tongue. His long tongue points
out as he has fangs. That's not that's not pretty.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Crampus carries chains thought to symbolize the binding of the
devil by the Christian Church. He thrashes the chains for
dramatic effect. Chains are sometimes accompanied with bells of various sizes,
and Crumpus carries a bundle of birch branches with which
he occasionally swats the children.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
We keep saying, I know I took it from different parts.
I wanted to be thorough.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
The birch branches are replaced with a whip. In some representations,
Crampas travels with a saka or basket strapped to his back.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
This is to cart off.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Evil children for drowning, eating, or transport to hell.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
See now that's different.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yes, some of the older versions make mention of naughty
children being put in the bag and taken.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Away, so it's long sharp teeth or on display as
he chases the children through the streets, grinning with longhorns
protruding from his skull. Strangely enough, Crampus is usually shown
with the one hoof and the other foot is actually
a human foot, but nobody's not too sure why. So basically,
Crampus is the Yinn to Saint nix Yang. So you
(09:25):
have the saint, you have the devil. It taps into
a subconscious maccarb desire that a lot of people have.
That the opposite of the centsurn Christmas. A lot of
us grew up with. So the Crampus of today, there's
been a lot of Like there was one movie that
was horrifying.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I remember years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
There's like TV shows, Supernatural, Grim, the Colbert Report. I'm
not sure how freaky that is. The entity has even
shown up on the mainstream media. The movie with that
twenty fifteen was Crampus's There's quite a few versions of
the movie Crampus, but that one was terrifying.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That was a good one. That was a good er.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
So in the weeks leading up to Christmas each year,
parades are often held throughout many of Austrian's alpine villages.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
What they'll do is they the.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I can't pronounce it, Crampus Slough, which is Crampus run.
So some young men dress his Crampus attempt to scare
the audience with their antics. Crampis is featured on holiday
greeting cards. As we said, Mary Crampish not no, And
that's sort of the whole thing about the Crampas And
we're just we love it, like I've always been fascinated.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I mean, I don't I'm good. So he's not going
to come for me, but.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You know, right, one real quick story though, Like so
my family came from Nuremberg, which is in the Black Forest,
which is actually a place which is in the state
of Bavaria, which Isis. And my mother was I think
three or four, and she had like an eleven year
old nephew. They all lived in the same house. And
(11:07):
apparently I think it was Saint Nick came to the door.
Somebody dresses Saint Nick, but it wasn't a very good costume.
It was kind of crappy, you know, like, I mean,
you know whatever, right, But all she was I guess
she was a bad kid. I no surprise there, and
I guess you know.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
There would be the they tell her the terrifying stories.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
For a three year old, you'd better be good, right,
or so she thought it was Crampis. And then when
this guy came to the door to bring gifts and stuff,
she went screaming.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
She hid behind her her cousin and said take him.
He's the bad one.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So, I mean, you know, it's it's kind of funny
because like it's drilled into a certain amount of young
people still in parts of Germany anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
So that is our little bit about Crampis.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
So most people are familiar with Crampus, But does anybody
know how like any other Yule tied characters.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Other than Saint Nick, you know that there.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Is a mule tied spider and like right, yeah, there's
like elves and gnomes and like it's a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's a whole deal. That's terrifying.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
We're just trying to get the next I found some
more information with respects to local mate legends and ghost stories,
and it's really really cool.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So I'm just going to key this up.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Just have some technical difficulties here,
In winter's hush, when shadows creep and children shiver in
their sleep, A clogs creeps slope beneath the door. Crampus
comes to settle scores. With twisted horns and ember eyes.
