Christmas Ghost Stories Part 1

recently on our show Apple Bites we had a moment to unveil our Christmas Ghost Stories. It’s something we do to remind people that there are Christmas Ghost Stories.

A couple year back we started doing a special show where we create our Christmas spooky and share it with all. It’s been a ton of fun and some great stories have popped forth.

I of course dove in and did a Krampus story. One lead to two and then three. I had fun crafting this tale of Christmas and the Krampus man that gets the naughty.

Here is the first Krampus story from a couple of Christmas back. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.

Krampus—————————————————-

His heart races, he can hear it in his head. It pounds as if someone trying to break a door down. He had been running now for some time but that was not the reason his heart threatened to come out of his throat. He leaned against the wall frantically trying to catch his breath. All he needs is a small break and then he can keep running then he can get away. Yet each time he thought he had gotten away, he had been found. Each time he thought he was alone, there it was taunting him getting closer and closer.

“Oh Tommy… oh Tommy boy…”

He heard the voice that was now haunting him chime in from the darkness the very shadows. His heart sped up, his stomach threatened to release his dinner and his head felt light as he almost succumbed to the dark. He starts running again his body protesting his heart threatening to explode from his chest.

"Come on Tommy, Don’t make this harder than it has to be."

He runs his feet stumble over nothing and his legs feel like they have become gelatin. Running is so difficult and he falls and falls again and falls yet again. He sees a dark hole and jumps into the filthy garbage dump.

"Tommy you have been such a bad boy. Just come out and I will take it easy on you. Or I can come find you and things will be so much worse."

Alone in the dark in his hole he tries to stifle whimpers that will assuredly get him found. His heart beats and he swears that it is calling out to the stranger. Bringing him, to him as if war drums in the thick forests of the darkest lands. Hands emerge from the shadows themselves followed by strong arms that wrap around Tommy. Soon a toothy smile becomes visible the small fangs give it a menacing look. Tommy swallows hard as the voice whispers in his ear.

"Tommy Tommy Tommy… Tsk Tsk Tsk… Its bad enough you are a bad boy and Santa has you on his Naughty list. But trying to destroy the belief of other children just because you get coal. That is just down right evil. How dare you destroy someoneelses faith. Looks like you need to be given something other than coal. Now I give you one chance. Go be a good kid keep Christmas in your heart year round and maybe just maybe Krampus will let you be. If not….

Mwa ha ha ha hee hee hee heh heh heh"

The laugh that follows enters Tommys mind, enters Tommys soul and exits as warm and yellow. Tommy is running he doesn’t know when he started and even though he feels like he cant catch his breath he does not want to stop. The laugh feels like its following him or is it in his head. He runs and runs and runs till he is only but a dot in the distance and the stranger smiles mischievously as he exits the shadows checks Tommys name of his list and says,

“Oh Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Boy, you’ve been a bad boy.”

With that he disappears into the night and in the distance someone screams someone runs and Krampus smiles.
