18th Annual “Pictures with Krampus & Yeti” at the Paranormal Museum 👹

Before Christmas belonged to carols and commercials, winter in the Alps had its own ruler — and he carried a bundle of birch sticks. Among the mountains and valleys of Austria, Bavaria, and the Tyrol, people told stories of Krampus, a creature of horns, fur, and clattering chains who appeared as the nights grew long. He was not evil. He was the shadow that made the light visible — the reminder that the season of joy was also the season of survival. Krampus found his way to Asbury Park not by accident, but because the city has always had a taste for the offbeat. Long before the horned figure appeared in local parades and storefronts, Asbury Park had already built its reputation as a home for outsiders, artists, and storytellers who preferred their holidays with a bit of edge. It was the perfect place for the old Alpine spirit to find a modern stage.

Today is the day that you can get a pic with Krampus if you visit the Paranormal Museum!
