Frances Flanagan, 10, center, and her sister, Maira, 7, consider having a photograph taken Sunday with Krampus at Quiet City Books at 124 Lisbon St. in Lewiston. Krampus is from German and Austrian folklore and assists Santa Claus during the Christmas season by scaring children who have been misbehaving. The sisters, who say they have been good recently, posed fearlessly with Krampus, who is portrayed by Adam Schlachter. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
