In the 15th century, a wealthy man was excommunicated by the Pope, driven mad in exile, and killed by a bolt of lightning just as he was about to taste human flesh — now he rides with Santa every Christmas, drooling over the naughty children on the list.

Ho ho ho, kids! If you like the stories Santa is telling, tell your friends and family about the Spooky Santa podcast so they can listen too!
