Hans and Gretta Strauss were the names of a pair of dead siblings found in 17th century Germany. They were the disguise of a powerful demon.
The demon's disguise, which manifested every 50 years to create strife and tear communities apart, was speculated to be the basis of the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. The first record of their appearance was in the Black Forest of 17th century Germany.
The pair appeared as murdered children to Joyce Summers in Sunnydale. The children then haunted her in visions, encouraging her to "punish the bad girls." Given the mayor's appearance at the vigil it is possibe this demon was his ally, but this remais un-verified. Joyce formed Mothers Opposed to the Occult and roused the adults of Sunnydale into an angry mob. As the mob tried to burn Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, and Amy Madison at the stake, Rupert Giles cast a spell to reveal the demon's true corporeal form, negating its thrall over the Sunnydale population. Buffy then impaled the demon through the neck with the stake she was tied to.
