Frau Perchta

This scary lady would roam the countryside during winter and enter homes between Christmas and Epiphany, according to Bavarian and Austrian folklore. If kids and servants had been nice, she’d leave them with a silver coin. If they hadn’t been, she would cut open their abdomen, take out their organs and replace them with straw.
