In this gripping episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale dives into the terrifying true story of Joe Ball — the infamous "Alligator Man" of Elmendorf, Texas. A war-hardened bar owner with a sinister secret, Joe Ball lured unsuspecting women into his orbit, only for them to vanish without a trace. With a backyard filled with live alligators and a trail of missing barmaids, Ball’s twisted tale is one of manipulation, cold-blooded murder, and a finale so shocking it stunned even hardened lawmen. Was he a serial killer who fed his victims to gators? How many lives did he really take? And why has his legend haunted Texas for nearly a century? Find out in one of the most bone-chilling episodes yet of Among Monsters.
