About this episode
Scott Corrales , author of "Chupacabra's and Other Mysteries," investigates reports of the enigmatic "goat sucker" creature terrorizing livestock across Latin America and the Caribbean. Born of Cuban parents and having lived extensively in Mexico and Puerto Rico, Corrales brings unique cultural insight and linguistic abilities to his research of this modern cryptozoological phenomenon. The program examines eyewitness accounts describing a bizarre creature that drains the blood from animals while leaving behind minimal physical evidence of its attacks. Corrales explores theories ranging from unknown predatory species to escaped genetic experiments and extraterrestrial biological entities conducting covert operations on Earth. His bilingual research capabilities have allowed him to gather testimony from Spanish-speaking witnesses whose accounts might otherwise remain unknown to English-speaking investigators. The discussion considers whether the Chupacabra represents a new phase in the ongoing alien presence on Earth, possibly involving advanced biotechnology designed to study terrestrial life forms while remaining largely undetected by human authorities.
