In this episode we discuss the legend of the mythical Chupacabra! This popular cryptid comes from Puerto Rico and has been blamed for the bloody deaths of hundreds of livestock. Starting in the 1990’s, words quickly spread among the farming villages of a strange animal killing livestock. This unusual lizard/dog like creature is famous for sucking all the blood out of animals before disappearing completely. Hundreds have claimed to have seen this creature, but the chupacabra has never been captured. Still no proof that the chupacabra actually exists and is not just an urban legend blown to an international scale.
For this episode Sean gives the background and history of this bloodthirsty animal and the guys discuss the main theories and ideas behind the legendary cryptid. Please leave feedback and your own thoughts on the Chupacabra along with any other areas of Cryptozoology you would like us to cover!
When I was young, here in México chupacabras hysteria was the hit, everyone was talking about it even though the attacks were in central america, I remember people even saying that they saw it or that their cattle was attacked so that they get a spot on tv, or whatever. Don’t get me wrong I was terrified of it, and it was the reason I got into the cryptozoology gig! Loved the podcast! Please do continue with the good job!
Wow its great to hear some feedback on someone who grew up with the chupacabra legend! Yeah I’m sure any kid would be scared when there’s a story about a blood sucking creature out on the loose. It’s definitely one of the more interesting cases of this kind. Thanks glad you liked it! If you have any other favorite cryptids in mind let us know, we are trying to decide which one to do next!
