In this episode, we kick things off with a debate: What is truly the most haunted place in Kentucky? Is it Octagon Hall in Franklin, or Waverly Hills in Louisville? From there, we leave the South for the frozen volcanic rock of Iceland to uncover the real history of the holidays. Forget Santa—meet the 13 Yule Lads, a band of criminal trolls who descend from the mountains to harass households alongside their child-eating mother, Grýla. We explore their specific crimes, from Window-Peeper to Meat-Hook, and reveal why their departure on January 6th triggers a night of terror where elves migrate, seals shed their skins, and cows speak with human voices—a sound that legend says will stop your heart.
