Welcome to Digital Folklore Unplugged! Unplugged episodes are where we ditch all the fancy production and story elements and bring you the raw (or slightly edited) interviews with folklore experts. On this episode, Perry & Mason sit down with Ben Radford to get the lowdown on creepy clowns, media literacy, the influence of folklore, and the psychological aspects of human beliefs. We touch on how misinformation and panic are spread through hoaxes and social media, using the example of clown sighting panics as a case study. Ben also discusses his investigations into paranormal phenomena and the experiences and empathy needed for effective investigation. His approach to investigative skepticism emphasizes the necessity for empathy, respect, and rigorous research.  Ok, let's get unplugged… Guest: Ben Radford (Twitter) (Website) (Podcast) Ben's Books (Amazon Associate Links) America the Fearful: Media and the Marketing of National Panics Bad Clowns Investigating Ghosts: The Scientific Search for Spirits Scientific Paranormal Investigation: How to Solve Unexplained Mysteries Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore ... and many more books by Ben

The Chupacabra is a fearsome beast that (yuck alert) sucks the blood from goats and sheep across South America. Looking like a spiny backed reptile...no wait...a hairless dog...no wait...a round headed monster with no...er...bottom. No one is really sure, but that's why Tiernan and Athena are looking at the case of the famous vampire creature and getting all the evidence together. Then you, our Chief Detectives can examine it all and work out whether the Chupacabra exists. Let us know what you think! Warning: Contains icky descriptions and er...creatures with no bottoms.

This week, we'll be focusing on the mysterious and frightening Chupacabras. We'll trace the origins of this elusive creature, from its first sightings in Puerto Rico to its spread throughout the Americas. We'll examine the evidence that has been gathered over the years, including eyewitness accounts and physical evidence, and explore the scientific theories that have been put forward to explain the Chupacabras.

Additionally, we'll also be taking a look at two other unique and fascinating creatures - the Jackalope and the Coelacanth. So join us for this exciting episode as we explore the mysteries of the Chupacabras, the Jackalope, and the Coelacanth, and discover the truth behind these elusive creatures.

We discuss what was going on in Puerto Rico in the 1990s, the spread of the Chupacabra to Mexico after the North American Free Trade Agreement where it merged with President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and how it became associated with both coyotes suffering from mange and immigrants in the 2000s.We are joined by Brenda Salguero and Dr. Orquidea of the podcast Monstras: Latinx Monsters and Folklore, Dr. William Calvo-Quirós, author of “Sucking Vulnerability: Neoliberalism, the Chupacabras, and the Post-Cold War Years,” and Dr. Ed Guimont of the Impossible Archive podcast.Bonus: The time a teddy bear was victimized by El Chupacabra, Scully and Mulder get problematic, and kangaroo chihuahuas ReferencesWilliam Calvo-Quiros: “Sucking Vulnerability: Neoliberalism, the Chupacabras, and the Post-Cold War Years”Robert Jordan Michael: “El Chupacabra: Icon of Resistance to U.S. Imperialism”Lauren Derby: “Imperial Secrets: Vampires and Nationhood in Puerto Rico”Silvia Rodriguez Vega: “Chupacabras: The Myth of the Bad Immigrant”Scott Corrales: Night of the ChupacabrasThe 1996 "Chupacabra Homepage"Asher Elbein: Chasing the Chupacabra, A Lonestar LegendBenjamin Radford: Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and FolkloreJoe Bandy: Bordering the Future: Resisting Neoliberalism in the BorderlandsSupport the show

Sketch of the chupacabra witnessed by Madelyne Tolentino, drawn by author Jorge Martin. In 1995, a vampiric creature burst onto the scene in Puerto Rico. Goats, chickens, and other livestock were being found dead all across the island, their blood missing and small punctures found on their carcasses. The chupacabra has been linked to UFOs and secret lab experiments, but where did it really come from? And is it even real?Resources:Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore by Benjamin RadfordChupacabras and Other Mysteries by Scott CorralesAmerican Monsters: A History of Monster Lore, Legends, and Sightings in America by Linda S.
