3 Unsettling Christmas Horror Stories Animated

every year before christmas a terrifying feeling grabs my heart and mind it's been 10 years but i still can't erase the haunting memory of one christmas day my son was five years old when this incident happened after the separation from my husband damien was my everything he was always nice to people and good with kids at school whenever i went to pick him up from school i always saw him surrounded by friends i was happy to see him fitting in nicely with groups the week before christmas damien's school staged a children's play after the show ended i was driving home with him i was praising him for his excellent performance in the play when he just told me i made a new friend today mom i smiled back and said you've been such a good boy this year and i'm sure santa will bring you lots of gifts for christmas his face lit up when i told him that we got back home and had dinner i tucked damien into bed and he went to sleep the next morning when i woke up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast i noticed the cookie jar was broken shattered glass and cookies were lying all over the kitchen floor i got really pissed off and called damien into the room damien was brushing his teeth and came to the kitchen about 10 minutes later he looked up at me and said what is it mom i said in an angry voice did you break the cookie jar last night he shook his head and said no it wasn't me i said really then who was it damien looked at me and said it was mr nobody as i was in no mood for such jokes i got even more angry and said don't you try to fool me damien damien started to sob and said i am telling the truth mom i told you i made a friend yesterday he said his name was mr nobody he was the one who broke the cookie chart last night then he started to cry i picked him up into a big hug and decided to drop the issue i figured like every other child he too had an imaginary friend and due to the fear of being grounded he was just making up a story christmas was now two days away my ex-husband called and said that he'd like to join us for christmas dinner i knew how much damian missed his father so for his sake i decided to put aside our marital issues for one night that evening i was doing house chores when i heard damian's footsteps in my room damien how many times have i told you not to play in my room i screamed out loudly i could see a shadow moving on the wall opposite my bedroom door i rushed to the corridor to scold damien i was about to beat inside when i heard damian's voice from behind me mom i'm hungry i was shocked and absolutely terrified at the same time i slowly walked towards him and said did you go into my room but damien said no i was in my room and did something really creepy he looked over my shoulder as if someone was standing behind me i immediately turned around but didn't see anyone there later on i checked my room and the entire house but all the doors and windows were already locked also there was no sign of any forced entry i got really worried this time and noticed weird things happening around the house i started decorating the house as christmas was knocking on the door but sometimes i noticed things being misplaced from their positions like if i kept a lamp beside the porch in the living room and left for a few minutes i always ended up finding it in the corner of the wall damien was too small to lift such a heavy lamp and there was no one else in the house one night i went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and thought to check on damien on my way back as i got close to his door i heard his voice talking he was speaking to someone he talked in a very low voice but i could still hear him damien was saying you can't walk around the house at night like this if mom sees you she won't let you stay with us i immediately entered his room thinking someone broke into our house but there was no one inside damien was sitting on his bed nervously i asked him who were you talking to he looked towards his closet and then looked back at me i said in a tensed voice damien you are scaring me now is there anyone in your room he still didn't say anything and just kept staring at me i went to the closet and opened the door with my trembling hand there was no one inside i heaved a sigh of relief and scolded damien for staying awake so late i tucked him into bed and went to bed myself i couldn't sleep that night damien's weird behavior had me worried the next day was the day before christmas so i decided to take damian to the mall to let him buy things for decorating the christmas tree we had a fun time and i bought him some ice cream on our way back i asked damian how's your friend damien he said which friend mom i said in a hesitated manner your new friend mr nobody damien's face turned sad and he said i don't think we're friends anymore mom i asked why is that he replied he doesn't listen to me also i feel scared of him i was really quite shocked to hear him talk about his imaginary friend as if it were real after getting back home i told damian what does mr nobody look like damien he went to his room and brought me a drawing he had made when i looked at the first page i saw a very creepy figure damian drew himself on the bed and there was a thin triangle-faced man standing beside him the man had a huge smile on his face like someone had cut his mouth from one ear to the other his eyes were huge and his eyeballs were blood red the picture disturbed me to the core i turned to damien and said how did you meet this guy he said mr nobody came to watch him play and asked to come to our house with him i felt goosebumps on my skin i said in a low voice do you mean he lives in our house now damien once again looked behind me and i was about to turn around when the doorbell rang the doorbell scared the [ __ ] out of me but i somehow managed not to let my fear show as i opened the door i saw paul standing in the doorway paul is my ex-husband we exchanged smiles and i let him in the house damie was so excited to see him just before christmas and they both started to decorate the christmas tree i couldn't shake the terrible feeling about damien's imaginary friend mr nobody after dinner as damien was put to sleep i told paul about all of this he laughed and told me that i shouldn't be taking a kid's imagination so seriously and that's the main thing i hated about paul he never took me serious unless we got into trouble the same thing happened in this case as well on christmas morning we were all feeling excited i went to damien's room and woke him and paul up as paul was sleeping in his room we all came to the living room and witnessed a shocking scene the christmas tree was in complete ruins it seemed like someone scratched it with something sharp and pointy the toys and ornaments we hung on the tree were all scattered all over the floor paul and i both knew it wasn't damien but damien started to cry and said trust me mom it's mr nobody he broke the christmas tree i didn't know what was going on neither did paul we calmed down our son and started to rearrange the decorations once again around six o'clock that evening we had everything back the way it was before i cooked a delicious dinner and damian got excited opening his christmas presents which were filled with toys and candies and damien started smiling again damien was watching the christmas day parade on the television while paul and i sat at the kitchen table quietly with our glasses of wine paul understood i was still disturbed with everything going on in the house he spoke in a low voice you should probably leave this house and move somewhere else i can arrange that for you and damien i was already thinking about that i nodded to paul's suggestion and agreed to take his help on this matter we were all set on leaving the house the next morning and staying with my parents for a while until we could get a new house i tucked damien into his bed and went to sleep paul wanted to have a few more drinks and watch some television so i left him on his own around 2 am in the morning i heard a soft crying voice coming from damien's room damien's room is on the opposite side of the living room i rushed to his room and noticed paul passed out on the couch i thought my son might have had a bad dream so i didn't wake paul as i stepped near his room and opened the door i froze in fear i will never be able to forget what i saw in that room but i can say with great assurance that i wasn't imagining it i saw a thin triangle-faced man lying on the ceiling over damien's bed and looking directly at him with his blood red angry eyes damien was sitting on his bed and sobbing in fear he was so horrified that he could barely cry out loud i screamed at the top of my lungs at that demonic figure who looked at me and howled in his spine chilling voice by opening his huge dark mouth his howl sounded like it didn't belong in this world my scream woke up my husband and he ran to damien's room by then i had already grabbed my son and came out of the room i said in a crying voice get us out of here i don't want to be in the house for another second we all got out of the house immediately and stayed the night at a nearby motel the next morning we went back to my house and packed a few necessary things before leaving for my parents house i left damien inside the car because i didn't want him to step inside this house ever again as we got into the car after getting everything from the house paul started the engine damien was sitting behind me he looked back at the house and said look mom mr nobody is waving goodbye to us he's got a smile back on his face i don't know who this mr nobody was but my mother said it might have been a demonic spirit who followed my son home we took damien to a psychiatrist due to my parents pressure i also took damian to see a priest he conducted a few rituals saying it was to bless my son's aura and soul now i don't know how much it helped but damien hasn't seen mr nobody after that horrifying christmas night cherry and her little brother were running excitedly around the house because it was christmas morning she was very excited as they were gonna go visit their uncle this christmas cherry's mother came to the living room and told her to pack her bags as early as possible it was going to be a five hour drive amidst the mountains so they had to leave early cherry's brother bob was always throwing tantrums she went over to him and said you must hurry up or mom will be very angry with us i'm so excited to meet auntie and uncle auntie helena said she's going to make chocolate custard for christmas tonight bob made a funny face and said i'll eat all the custard and you'll get nothing cherry started to scream and said oh shut up their mother kathy said from the bedroom oh stop it you two we're already running late john put the luggage in his car trunk and said kathy hurry up we have to leave now or it'll be dog before we reach your brother's house cherry feels like christmas is her most favorite time of the year so they all hopped in their car and started their journey as they were driving among the mountains and pine trees as far as their eyes went they could see white snow covering nature all around them bob was busy playing with his santa and elf toys suddenly cherry asked him what do you want for christmas this year bob replied i've asked for a gumball machine and a huge house made of candies and cream biscuits everyone started to laugh upon hearing his childish christmas wishes cherry laughed and said but to get your christmas gift you have to be good for the entire year which you obviously haven't the way you mess with my toys and things i think this year instead of santa krampus will visit you bob got really angry and started a fight with cherry cathy managed to stop them and asked cherry in a surprised voice how do you know about krampus to which she replied that their english teacher taught them whoever hasn't behaved nicely throughout the year will be punished by krampus john said in a surprised voice who's krampus cherry replied krampus is a half-goat half-demon monster that punishes children who misbehave on christmas he's the devilish companion of saint nicholas children who did not listen to their parents or elders will be whipped and beaten by krampus kathy replied in a comforting voice oh i'm sure this is just an old scary story that your teacher told you cherry there's no such thing as krampus cherry thought to herself if santa claus is real then why can't krampus be real but she didn't say anything as her brother was already crying upon hearing about this demon goat kathy gave bob some chocolate and told him to be nice when they reached their uncle's house around five o'clock they finally reached uncle sam's house uncle sam hugged bob and cherry in his arms and led them inside aunt helena came over and hugged cherry and wished her a merry christmas they all sat down near the fireplace and started to chat their house was beautifully decorated with christmas items shining bells were hanging from the ceiling and neon lights were sparkling all over the walls cherry was amazed to see the huge christmas tree placed in the middle of the living room it was filled with lights crystal balls jingle bells and all the glittering things in the world cherry turned to her uncle sam and said in an excited voice that she loved their house and that they had the most beautiful christmas tree in the whole world everyone was delighted to hear such sweet words coming from a seven-year-old girl bob was busy unwrapping the gift sitting under the christmas tree just then his father said bob you should open your gift with your sister but he didn't listen as the night went on the celebrations grew even more the table was filled with delicious dishes an entire turkey was roasting and placed in the middle of the table there were custards mashed potatoes fries porridge and cherry's favorite chicken rice after dinner cherry sat down on the couch and started to open her christmas present it was a beautiful gown she started to dance in joy and said i knew santa would fulfill my wish but on the other hand bob started to cry saying i didn't ask for a remote-controlled car where's my gumball machine everyone started to get busy and decided to ignore the little child cherry went to her little brother and said let's play hide and clap she knew bob loves to play hide and clap hence it will help to distract him for some time the house was quite big so they had lots of places to hide as they began their game kathy said no one will leave the house stay inside and play whatever you like it's really cold outside cherry could see the snow-covered ground from the large glass window upstairs there was even a snowman near the house gate a heavy wind was blowing outside which made the glass window vibrate while making a clinking sound as the game began cherry decided to hide first and bob would be the one looking for her cherry hid inside aunt helena's bedroom closet and bob started to count from one to ten after he was done counting he said in a loud voice give me the first clap the first clap took place and bob immediately followed it after the second clap he managed to find cherry and yelled in joy i win i win cherry said the game's not over yet now it's my turn you go hide bob wanted to win this game any way he could so he went and hid in the attic he stood near the attic window waiting for cherries counting to end the attic was dark and the howling winds outside started to scare him suddenly he looked out of the window and saw a man wearing a big red cloak standing beside the snowman bob got very excited thinking that santa claus had finally come to visit them he opened the glass window and yelled out in a cheery voice santa i'm here did you bring me my gumball machine the man wearing the red cloak waved his hand and nodded bursting in joy bob silently got down from the attic and sneaked out of the house he opened the main door making less sound because he knew if anyone saw him going outside that they would scold him bob was adamant to meet santa and ask for his gumball machine but he didn't see him anywhere as he opened the main door bob heard a rustling sound coming from the back of the house as if someone was walking at the back of the house there stood a deep dark woods filled with tall pine trees with his small little feet bob walked towards the back of the house he stood at the back of the house facing the dark woods all by himself he started to feel a little scared the trees were bumping into each other as the wind passed through them he spoke out in a low voice santa where are you suddenly he heard footsteps behind the nearby pine tree he saw that same red-hooded person peeking out from behind a tree and calling to him bob slowly walked towards him meanwhile cherry was getting bored as she couldn't find bob anywhere in the house even though she kept asking for claps she couldn't hear any the elders were so busy that they didn't notice anything going on with the two kids cherry looked out from the window and saw bob walking towards the forest she ran to the back gate by the time she reached the outside she couldn't see bob anymore he was nowhere to be found cherry was standing all alone in the freezing cold staring at the woods suddenly she heard a whimpering sound coming from the tree nearby as she tiptoed in that direction her face turned pale in fear bob was laying on the ground and a vicious looking creature was standing in front of him it was at least seven feet tall with huge sharp horns on its head the face of the creature looked like a dead goat it had a body of a giant human but its feet were like that of a goat there was a whip in his one hand and chains on the other the creature was growling in a muffled way drenched in fear and terror a word came out of her mouth krampus hearing its name from cherry's mouth krampus looked at her with its burning red eyes the huge red tongue came out of its mouth while saliva started to drip from it cherries screamed at the top of her lungs and krampus growled in its demonic voice the growl shook the entire forest and the sound echoed into the valley for at least two to three minutes kathy ran outside hearing her children's screams as she came out she saw cherry sobbing and hiding her face in her hands while bob was laying unconscious on the snowy forest ground the next morning bob caught a high fever cherry couldn't sleep well for an entire week kathy and john didn't have the slightest idea what their little kids had saw outside so what do you think did cherry and bob really see krampus that night hi my name's shelly and this incident happened on a christmas night long ago i was still in high school back then and i was having lunch with my friends kate matt and jim at our school's cafeteria it was just us four and we often hung out together being close to christmas everyone was talking about plans for that day my friend matt said oh hey we can all have a sleepover at my house my parents will be gone for the holiday we can party and drink as much as we want huh high school life is probably the best time ever for teenagers so we all got excited upon hearing his plan i told my mother that i would be spending christmas night at kate's place kate lived with her grandma so it was easy for her to sneak out at night for a christmas party after school we all went to the mall to shop for the party the mall was filled with christmas decorations jingle bells were hanging all over the mall and there was even a guy dressed as santa giving out candies and gifts to all the kids kate and i bought some snacks and decorations and left for matt's house matt's house was a pretty good distance from the mall on our way jim called me and said hey have you guys gotten here yet i said no but we're on our way when are you gonna get over there jim said in an excited voice oh i'll be there real soon i'll see you at the party as we drove down the road we noticed people having fun with their friends and family the roads were covered with pure white snow and it was really cold so i rolled my car window up after about 10 to 15 minutes we left the township area and got onto an old dusty road i told kate thank god for gps otherwise we'd have gotten lost by now when we arrived at matt's house we saw jim and matt standing at the front door the snow-covered house was decorated with neon lights and was looking kind of spooky we went inside and sat near the fireplace to warm ourselves up matt offered us some wine from his dad's collection we had a few drinks and started to put up the decorations that we had bought earlier kate got busy hanging all the bells and the sparkling chains all around the living room jim attached some neon lights to the already decorated christmas tree and said hey matt now your tree looks complete we were all having just a really great time and to be honest it was my first night out with my friends i was having such a good time we all sat down and started to eat our food when matt said hey what do you think about the existence of spirits everyone stopped eating and just kind of looked at him with a shocked look on our faces jim replied in a mocking tone oh come on there's no such thing as ghosts i agreed by saying yeah i don't believe in things that i can't see with my eyes and kate chimed in last saying well i don't believe in ghosts right now but if i saw one i'd probably start believing in them of course i imagine all the ghosts are busy partying tonight and with that she started to let out a big laugh and jim and i joined in with her matt got a little embarrassed by our reaction and kept quiet for a few seconds i looked at him and said hey you got kinda serious there but you gotta know there's no such thing as ghosts or spirits he looked me right in my eyes and said what if i could prove to you that there are spirits the air in the room suddenly got very heavy and we all started to look at each other nobody really knew what to say and then jim finally spoke up fine if you can prove to me that ghosts are real i'll buy you a soda every day for an entire year matt got out of his seat and quickly left the room without saying anything a few seconds later he came back with a candle in his hand and a cardboard box he then dimmed the lights in the room and placed the cardboard box in the center he lit the candle with a matchstick and said in a low voice well i'm gonna summon a spirit right now and i'm gonna need all of you to sit in a circle around this box i said in a hesitant voice guys are we really doing this isn't this a bit too much for a christmas party kate looked at me and said oh come on shelly nothing will happen let's have some fun so we all sat quietly just like mata told us the only sound that we heard was the snowy wind hitting the glass windows and nothing else the candlelight made the room look really spooky sam said in a low voice first we have to decide who we're going to call we have to choose someone whom we've all seen at least once that's when jim said well do you remember my distant cousin tom from my last birthday we all nodded our head in agreement and kate said yeah that one shy boy at your birthday i remember him but is he dead jim said in a sad voice yeah he kind of died from an unknown disease i want to know what happened to him let's call him i was a bit shocked to know about jim's cousin he was kind of a shy boy he barely talked to us on his birthday i started to feel a bit disturbed that we were actually doing something like this but i kept quiet because i was kind of interested too we closed our eyes and held each other's hands matt said in a deep low voice tom can you hear us nothing happened so matt spoke out again tom we're calling out to you can you hear us we want to know what happened to you there was no sounds except for the sound of the wind outside and the clinking of the glass windows matt called out again tom please hear us we're calling for you but before he could finish the candle flickered twice and then went out on its own the room turned pitch black and suddenly we heard a heavy knock at the main door kate and i almost screamed and then matt got up and switched on the lights jim said in a shocking voice did you guys hear that or was it just me we said that we had all heard it too then the knock happened again but this time we heard a voice as well someone said in a tired voice jim open the door man it's too cold outside we all got scared as we weren't expecting anyone at that time jim was looking even more surprised than the rest of us and he rushed to the door as he opened the door we all received the shock of our lives it was jim's distant cousin tom jim said in a gasping voice what the hell are you doing here tom gave us a creepy smile and said i came to your house to visit you for christmas but your mom said you were staying at mats so i came here merry christmas guys kate got really angry and said in a loud voice you jerk i can't believe you lied to us like that jim i hope you burn in hell god damn it matt and i also hurled insults at jim for lying to us about tom's death jim laughed like an idiot and said sorry guys but it's like i told you there's no such thing as ghosts see and we all sat down to have another drink tom sat right beside us and told us about jim's silly prank he laughed and then said something which i thought sounded rather odd tom said in a deep voice well you would never know if you came face to face with a ghost i also didn't believe like you guys but i do now my other friends didn't really pay much attention to what he said and they all started to laugh about the entire situation i on the other hand was feeling very mysterious about tom's arrival i looked him over from head to toe he was wearing a full sleeve t-shirt and sweatpants it was so freezing cold outside how could he have managed to come here just wearing that also i didn't hear the sound of a car driving in jim's house was at least 20 minutes away from here so there's no way anyone could walk that distance wearing just a t-shirt and sweatpants we all knew that tom was a really shy guy but the way he kept smiling with the others seemed really odd to me his behavior was completely different and it wasn't just his clothes but his face looked different too his eyes were really big and there was these dark circles under them he was kind of looking sick to me suddenly our eyes met and he smiled at me in a very creepy way and said it seems you think a lot i was so surprised to see him talk like that i didn't know what to say so i got up and went to the kitchen to wash my hands kate went along with me kate and i we're talking about how weird it was to see tom so suddenly tonight and then matt and jim came into the kitchen to get more booze what's up you two look worried kate and i started to tell jim and matt about this weird coincidence when jim's phone rang it was his mom his hands were stacked with beer bottles so he asked matt to put the phone on speaker we heard jim's mom crying over the phone jim got nervous and said what's wrong mom why are you crying jim's mom said in a sobbing voice aunt elena called your cousin tom just passed away she said tom was in his room sleeping quietly when she heard him choking she rushed to the room and saw him dead on the floor his eyes were dripping out of his sockets as if he saw something horrible please come home we have to go to their house jim's mom couldn't say anything else and then hung up the phone we were completely freaking out and horrified by this news if jim was dead then who was sitting in matt's living room right now our forehead started to drip sweat as we all turned towards the living room there was an empty space between the kitchen and the living room what we saw next chilled us to our bones with terror tom was still standing in the living room looking directly at the four of us his eyes were coming out of his face he smiled horribly and said in a demonic voice you all called for me and look i came merry christmas guys and he started to laugh horribly kate screamed and fainted on the floor jim cried oh my god matt and i just kept staring at tom we had no words we couldn't believe our eyes tom started to walk towards the front door and turned to us one last time he said in that same demonic voice i hope you all believe now that ghosts are real and in front of our very eyes he disappeared into thin air and we all sat on the floor shattered with this horrified feeling that our one stupid prank took the life of a young person jim spent a lot of time in therapy after that horrible christmas night kate and i never spoke about the incident again we don't know where matt is now because he moved out of town after that christmas but one thing is for sure i sure as hell believe in ghosts now
