Dinosaurs Live! Hunt for the Mokele-Mbembe [Part 1]

The Haunted Objects Podcast

Do dinosaurs still walk the earth? Some scientists believe it. In this special two-part episode, we trek deep into the heart of the Congo's impenetrable jungle in search of the Mokele-mbembe. Along the way, the gang relates to soft nerd people, Connor embraces his inner-dinosaur, and Keelin continues her quest to become the world's greatest cryptozoologist. Plus: a real, live encounter with the Mokele-mbembe captured on camera!
