Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a mystifying and elusive creature--El Chupacabra. Translated to "goat sucker," El Chupacabra is believed to be responsible for the deaths of livestock and household pets throughout Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Latin America.

Is El Chupacabra a real vampire demon? Or is it nothing more than a misidentified animal? And what would you do if you came face-to-face with the terrifying goatsucker?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a scary legend from Latin America--La Llorona or "The Weeping Woman." Encounters with La Llorona go back nearly 500 years and are as unsettling as the backstory. Often used as a warning for wayward children to walk the straight and narrow, the story of La Llorona will have you second-guessing whether you should walk around in the woods.

Who is La Llorona? And what would you do if you came face-to-face with her in the woods?

A fascinating variation to the Man with a Hook for a Hand urban legend, Cropsey terrorized Staten Island, New York in the 1970's. A type of Boogeyman, Cropsey scared kids all over NYC into good behavior and avoiding the woods.

It's all spooky fun and scary stories, until it isn't--because Cropsey turned out to be a real-life Boogeyman.

Who was the real-life Cropsey? And how would you react to the news that a supposed urban legend turned out to be a real-life nightmare?

When Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans in 2005, hundreds of thousands of people evacuated for safety. Except Zack Bowen and Addie Hall. They stayed and built a community and seeming romance. But, within a few weeks, romance turned to tragedy.

What compelled Zack to commit one of the most horrific crimes in New Orleans history?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a well-known and scary creature: The Jersey Devil.

For nearly 300 years, the Jersey Devil has stalked the dense woods of the Pine Barrens in southeast New Jersey. The folklore surrounding the Jersey Devil is disquieting and unnerving--and so are the eyewitness testimonies.

What is the Jersey Devil, and is it real? Or is the Jersey Devil a centuries-old folktale that, while scary, is more fiction than fact And, if given a chance, would you camp out overnight in the Pine Barrens?
