Episode 1
1) US : CHUPACABRAS (DUR: 6'46)
Since it was first sighted on Puerto Rico in the mid 90's, the Chupacabras, or goatsucker, has become one of the greatest puzzles of the paranormal. Said to be around five feet tall with red eyes, fangs and powerful hind legs, it's been sighted as far away as Moscow. Animal X- hits the Chupacabras trail to help unravel the mystery. Paranormal investigator Ted Loman and folklorist Jim Griffith give their expert assessments, while eye-witnesses offer first hand accounts of their terrifying encounters with the mysterious beast

2) Australia : Elixir of Life - MAGIC COWS (DUR: 7'40)
Cattle and sheep in the high plains, near Canberra in Australia, are living to extraordinary ages, staying healthy and remaining reproductively randy well into their twilight years. Scientists are determined to find out more about the animals life sustaining bio-chemistry. Is it the water? Is it the soil? And does it hold the key to extending human life.

3) UK : PHANTOM BLACK DOG (DUR: 10'12)
They're considered to be the most persistent of all ghostly animals. Reported sightings of Phantom Black Dogs in Britain date back to medieval times. Four hundred years ago, a devil dog was even blamed for killing five people in a church. Some believe they're protective creatures, others, an omen of death. Whatever their purpose, the Phantom Dogs have left an indelible impression on anyone who's witnessed them. Animal X travelled to East Anglia to speak to those who have witnessed this ghostly phenomenon.

i remember when i first saw this show i was terrified...

i was very scared walking in the yard during night time. every time the chickens were agitating in cages.

the most traumatizing scary creatures to me were chupacabra, phantom dog and jersey devil...

I think one aspect of the show that made it so creepy and sometimes outright scary was the awesome music.
