    The Chupacabra - w/ Special Guest Ben Radford Part 1 (S8 E6)

    Throughout parts of the Southwestern United States, Mexico, Latin America, and Puerto Rico, tales of the legendary Chupacabra run rampant. Folks share tales of sightings of the creature with glowing red eyes and large fangs, who lurks in the forest and preys on livestock and farm animals. Many residents are fearful the Chupacabra, which translates to “Goat Sucker”, is an animal vampire, sucking the blood out of its prey. However, is the Chupacabra real and why were sightings only reported as far back as the 1990s? Our special guest, Benjamin Radford, is the world’s leading authority on the Chupacabra. He is literally an expert on the topic as he spent over 5 years researching the Chupacabra, traveling to all parts of the world to conduct interviews, field research, and forensic analysis.

    The Mongolian Death Worm S8 E4

    Ever wondered whether a creature could spit corrosive saliva and generate electric shocks? Join us as we dig into the bizarre and fearsome legend of the Mongolian Death Worm in this jaw-dropping episode of MVP's WTF Paranormal Podcast! We kick off with a light-hearted chat about facing the flu with Botox treatments for migraines before we plunge into the chilling tales of this cryptid, likened to the sandworms from Dune and the graboids from Tremors. You won't believe the vivid descriptions and spine-tingling stories surrounding this five to seven-foot-long terror. Our journey doesn’t stop there; we explore the differences between legless lizards and worm lizards, often mistaken for snakes, and then pivot to the electrifying and corrosive abilities attributed to the Mongolian Death Worm. Could this creature be a blend of known animals like eels and poisonous frogs? We dive into the historical context of Mongolia under Soviet rule and how it lends some credence to these terrifying tales. With speculative and humorous banter, we wrap up our discussion on the Death Worm's alleged self-destructive attack methods. Finally, we wander through the weird and wonderful world of cryptids and folklore. From the Yukon Giant Worm to ice worms in Alaska and British Columbia, our conversation melds historical and scientific perspectives with playful debates about "forest deserts" and killer centipedes from South America. We celebrate the creativity in folklore, especially the monstrous legends from Asian cultures, while offering practical (and comical) advice for dealing with unexpected worm encounters in the desert. Tune in for a captivating blend of humor, history, and hair-raising cryptid tales that promise to keep you both entertained and intrigued!Send us a text Support the show Please visit our website: www.militaryveteransparanormal.com for access to more information about this episode and others, as well as other research and investigations we've done.

    Dragons: Is There Historical Evidence They Existed?

    This episode is short and sweet, but very interesting. Everyone can at least agree that Dragons are cool mythical creatures. Whether or not they actually existed, however, is debatable. Join Evan, Mell, Wes, and Tommy as they dive into historical records to see if there is anything that may support the notion that at one point in human history, Dragons were real.

  7. Werewolves, Lycan, and Hairy People S8 E2

    Werewolves, Lycan, and Hairy People S8 E2

    Embark on a howl of an adventure as we explore the haunting legends of werewolves, the shadowy figures that have prowled the edge of reality and mythology for millennia. From the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh to medieval European trials, we unravel the tangled web of werewolf lore that has captured human imagination. Brace yourself for a journey into the past, where magic-infused Viking warriors don wolf pelts and where hypertrichosis blurs the line between man and beast. Prepare for a spine-tingling encounter with history's darkest corners, including the bone-chilling confession of a 16th-century man accused of lycanthropy and the modern psychological phenomenon of clinical lycanthropy. We juxtapose this with lighter, yet equally curious anecdotes of modern-day werewolf sightings and the peculiar subcultures that idolize these creatures. Through tales of terror and tragedy, we'll connect the howls of ancient myth with the whispers of contemporary lore. Finally, we unveil the extraordinary life of Gonzalves, the hairy nobleman of France, whose existence teetered on the brink of myth and reality. His story, which may have sown the seeds for "Beauty and the Beast," showcases the bizarre ways in which society has historically reacted to the unknown. Join us for a narrative that is as strange as it is true, and discover how the legend of the werewolf continues to captivate, confound, and, at times, amuse us as we seek to understand the beast within.
