About this episode

This episode explores the origins and theories surrounding the Chupacabra, a cryptid that emerged in Puerto Rico in 1995.

The chupacabra is considered the third most widely known cryptid in the world, behind Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster – kind of mind-blowing, considering the fact that this mythical creature’s origins are relatively recent. Reports of el chupacabras began in Puerto Rico in 1995… where one theory holds that the creature is the result of a U.S. military experiment gone horribly wrong.
