23 - Chupacabra

Join Kyle and Ardon as they start the Halloween season with a cryptid popularly known as THE CHUPACABRA.

Few legends’ validities have been as vehemently insisted upon as that of the chupacabra, the famed enemy of livestock of the Americas.

A blood-sucking creature allegedly the size of a small bear, sometimes with a tail, often covered in scaly skin, and with a row of spines down its back, the chupacabra has been a staple in Puerto Rican folklore for decades.

Named after the first animals they were reported to have killed and drained in 1995 (“chupacabra” literally means “goat-sucker” in Spanish). Their first known attacks were in March of 1995 in Puerto Rico.

Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards!
