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

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!  Join the Museum: https://patreon.com/paramuseum Visit Our Website: https://hauntedobjectspodcast.com Subscribe on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/25xf92nx Follow Greg Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/nuekerk Instagram: https://instagram.com/nuekerk Website: https://gregorynewkirk.com Follow Dana Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/weird_dana Instagram: https://instagram.com/weird_dana Follow Connor J.
