All Things Cryptid
All Things Cryptid is the ultimate scary story podcast. Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest VA I've had more than my fair share of things that go bump in the night. As a child every book report was on ghost stories and my natural obsession of the unexplained quickly grew with me to other crypids as well. I look forward to diving deeper into the unexplained with you and hosting different friends along the way.

Episode 6
Join All Things Cryptid as we dive into the legend of the Chupacabra—the “goat-sucker” that turned quiet pastures into crime scenes and local rumors into global headlines. We trace its rise from Puerto Rico’s panic to borderland sightings, unpack what science says about “drained” livestock and hairless carcasses, and explore why the Chupacabra keeps adapting to new fears and new media. It’s a fast, eerie tour of where folklore, misidentification, and pop culture collide—and why, at first light, the Chupacabra cryptid still feels real.
