The legendary blood-sucking chupacabra is infamous for killing livestock and wreaking havoc in Texas. Judah Friedlander travels to the Lone Star State to figure out exactly who, or what, this monster is. The chupacabra drains the blood from its victims leaving behind puncture holes, and its name, which translates to “goat sucker,” is due to its preference for goats as its victims. Judah interviews supposed eyewitnesses and gets some help from a local with what he believes to be a carcass.
