Episode 187: "The Unusually Ambitious Mongoose"

Left of Skeptic

Happy Spooky Wednesday! As summer fades and fall peeks it’s head around the corner, we’re always keeping it creepy here. First Kala discusses the cryptid known as the Chupacabra. A fairly new creature by most cryptid standards, this weird animal escapes any common description. Is it a coyote with glowing red eyes? Is it a kangaroo with bat like wings? The only thing people can seem to agree on is that it’s creepy and it’s killing livestock! But is it real? Or is there a scientific explanation behind the nocturnal, animal-killing beast? And Brittany tells us about the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital in Alaska. This active medical facility may not have the terrible history of many of the abandoned hospitals that we’ve covered on the podcast, but it still has its ghosts. Apparitions, phantom footsteps, cold spots, and other paranormal occurrences are so common in this building that they even have methods to address it with patients and staff. And apparently this isn’t the only haunted active hospital, because Brittany had Reddit stories from other hospitals’ staff members with their own creepy stories!
