Hans Trapp is another "anti-Santa" who hands out punishment to bad children in the Alsace and Lorraine regions of France. The legend says that Trapp was a real man, a rich, greedy, and evil man, who worshiped Satan and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. He was exiled into the forest where he preyed upon children, disguised as a scarecrow with straw jutting out from his clothing. He was about to eat one boy he captured when he was struck by lightning and killed—a punishment of his own from God. Still, he visits young children before Christmas, dressed as a scarecrow, to scare them into good behavior.
在法国的Alsace和 Lorraine地区,名叫Hans Trapp的怪物是另一个圣诞老人的死对头,它会出手惩罚坏孩子。传说Trapp确有其人,他是一个富有、贪婪、邪恶的人,他崇拜恶魔撒旦,被天主教堂开除教籍,流放在森林里。他将自己的衣服装满稻草,装扮成稻草人。就在他要吃自己捉到的一个小男孩时,突然有一道闪电把他打死,这是上天对他的惩罚。但他现在还是会装扮成稻草人的样子,在圣诞节前出现在小孩子面前,吓唬他们要乖乖表现。
6. PÈRE FOUETTARD
鞭子之父
The French legend of Père Fouettard, whose name translates to "Father Whipper," begins with an evil butcher who craved children to eat. He (or his wife) lured three boys into his butcher shop, where he killed, chopped, and salted them. St. Nicholas came to the rescue, resurrected the boys, and took custody of the butcher. The captive butcher became Père Fouettard, St. Nicholas' servant whose job it is to dispense punishment to bad children on St. Nicholas Day.
