The Krampus

children at Christmas time, the Krumpus follows him with a sack and a
switch to punish or carry away the naughty children. Goat-horned,
furry, dresssed in chains and with a long forked toung this demonic
looking creature is the traditional stick to Santa Claus's carrot in
Germanic countries.
Incubi and Succubi are demons that feed on the lust of their victims. An Incubus is the male version, Succubus is female. The word incubus comes from the Latin words in cubo, meaning 'I lie on top'. Succubus is a derivation of the Latin words sub cubo, or ' to lie beneath'.

The Cockatrice is a legendary creature that is supposedly hatched from an egg laid by a rooster and hatched by a toad. It has the head of a rooster, the body and tail of a snake, and the wings of a bat. Related to the Basilisk, the Cockatrice has many of the same powers. The only real difference between the two is that the Cockatrice has the legs of a rooster, while the Basilisk is usually portrayed as being more snake-like.
Dudleyville (also called Dudleytown) is an abandoned town in Litchfield County in Northwestern Connecticut, about three miles outside of Cornwall. It was settled in 1738, and later abandoned because of the strange goings on there. Legend has it that the town experienced a high number of cases of insanity and suicide. Bad luck seemed to plauge the townsfolk until the smart ones packed up and left. Today the town is nothing more than a number of foundations being reclaimed by the wilderness. But even the woods are slow to intrude into this eerie place.
