On this episode of MITM Christmas Special Pt. 2 Laura and Aaron continue their discussion on the origins of Christmas. They jump back in time and cover the evolving deities and devils of the winter season. Going all the way back to Norse mythology and Odin's Wild Hunt, the threat of Odin and his heathen followers hunting you down on a cold winter's and taking you back to the underworld if you did not stay indoors. Laura and Aaaron theorize how Berchta, a beautiful germanic goddess, associated with winter time, could possibly be the origin story of the paranormal entities know as "women in white". After the Christian church took over they demonized Berchta and turned her into Frau Perchta and she is know for being a horrifying "christmas monster". Warning of other scary Christmas monsters such as Krampus, Yule Lads, Gryla, the Yule Cat, are told. There are plenty of dark creatures that lurk in the winter time but there are also deities such as La Belfana, an italian christmas witch, who flies through the night sky and brings presents for the children and cleans away negativity to allow for a fresh start of the new year. The story of St. Nicholas is thought to be the origin story of Santa Claus. Some stories involving miraculous miracles Nicholas preformed, are much darker than one would think. Last but not least the Belsnickel is discussed, having roots in Germany, extending to Pennsylvania brought over to America by the Pennsylvania Germans what is now known as Pa Dutch.

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron step back in time for MITM Christmas Special Pt. 1. Winter solstice and the dangerous dark days of the past are discussed. Laura shares the oldest winter tradition, Yule, dating back before the year 672, was celebrated and started by Norse Pagans in Scandinavia. The pagans used ancient superstitions to keep their homes and themselves save from the evil spirits of winter, that could result in death. Winter could be a dark scary time but in order to survive they needed to have hope. The 21st of December marks the winter solstice, it marks the return of the sun, days start to become longer from this point on. This was a time to celebrate and be with loved ones. Burning Yule logs, drinking wassail, telling stories, decorating with evergreens, were all parts of the celebration.
Over in Rome, the Roman Pagans celebrated the ancient tradition of Saturnalia, known to share similarities with Yule, however the Romans got a little crazier than the Scandinavians. Saturnalia consisted of a week long party, the whole social structure was turned upside down, slaves were treated as equals, a lower member of the family was put in charge for the week and their job was to act foolish. Drunken celebrations and singing in the streets was all apart of this. Eventually Christianity took over. These celebrations ended and Christmas began. However Yule is still celebrated today by pagans. There are clear ties to the ancient traditions and the Christmas holiday has adopted parts of it that are still done today.
Aaron shares the evolution of Santa Claus through the years, dating back to the 1800’s. Some unexpected versions are discussed.

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron recount some eerie BEK stories. BEK is an acronym for black eyed kids or black eyed children. No one really knows for sure what or who these children are, if they are even children at all. Some speculate that they are demons, ghosts, aliens or some kind of entity.
Laura goes back to the 90’s discussing the first BEK story to circulate on the early world wide web. This story left some people speculating that this phenomenon is nothing more than “creepy pasta”.
Other stories are retold and the strange “coincidences” that follow the unfortunate circumstance of inviting them in to your home or space.
Also a story about black eyed grandparents??

On this episode of MITM, Laura and Aaron step back in time to Mesoamerica.
Laura covers the rise of the Aztecs, revealing the harsh reality of how they came to brutally dominate the region with brute force and human sacrifice. Traveling ahead through time, nearly 200 years later, a few factors create the perfect storm that all contribute to the demise of the Aztec Empire. Aaron shares his findings on the discovery of the “Aztec death whistle” and it’s possible use in rituals that involved human sacrifice to worship the Aztec’s Sun God.
Today paranormal investigators are using this “death whistle” as a trigger object by blowing into the whistle that produces an absolutely horrifying sound of a human screaming in extreme pain. The idea is that the sound of distress may attract negative entities and produce paranormal activity.
