The Chupacabra

The Chupacabra, or goatsucker, is a phenomenon that started in mid 1995 in the mountains of Puerto Rico. There have been recent reports of the Chupacabra in California, Texas, Miami, Baja California, and the reports throughout Mexico are too numerous to mention. The Chupacabra has been known to drain the blood of its victims and then leave the body where it has dropped. The wounds are usually about the diameter of a straw and three to four inches in length. Thousands of killings have been reported off and on for 40 years.

Sightings and Attacks

September 1995
A housewife witnessed a Chupacabra attack and described the beast as a fanged, kangaroo creature with evil red eyes. Another Canovanas witness, Misael Negron, described the creature as being "about three or four feet tall with skin like that of a dinosaur. It had bright red eyes the size of hens eggs, long fangs and spikes down its head and back." It attacked the family goat, as it had done with so many others. Hence, the name Chupacabra.

Mexico and the United States
There have been recent reports of the Chupacabra in California, Texas, Miami, Baja California, and the reports throughout Mexico are too numerous to mention. One of the first attacks in the U.S. was in Tuscon, Arizona where Billy Nubian's two goats were attacked by a creature in the middle of the night. He described it as a large "ratlike" creature, which when spotted, let out an "unhuman shriek" and ran away. In Baja California, a dog was found with two puncture marks in the neck. So far, this is the only report from Baja California. In Miami, there was apparently a bloodbath in terror when 69 farm animals were killed in one night. the animals belonged to two families living in the Sweetwater district, and they have even gone on television claiming it was a chupacabra. Even in Panama, the killings have occurred. Daisy Arauz claimed that the Chupacabra killed the family dog. Throughout the countryside are reports of dead animals with the puncture marks in their necks. Elizabeth Savedra claimed she was attacked by a chupacabra in the middle of the night.

Brazil
Apparently there has been quite a buzz recently in Brazil about the Chupacabra. My correspondent in Brazil informed me of a program that aired on Brazilian televison on June 29th, 1997. There have been several spottings of the Chupacabras in Brazil, as well as an apparent killing of one. Two men were fishing at night when they spotted something coming out of the lake. They were unsure what it was, so they shot it, and the next morning they discovered that it was a chupacabra. They cut off the creatures head and now are still in possession of it. On the television program, they showed the head and the interviewers asked the man to cut off part of the bone for analysis, but the man refused. Another part of the program had an American UFOlogist, who is living in Brazil, claiming that he had captured a live one. He refused to show it to local authorities, stating that he would only allow American investigaors inside his house where the creature is kept. I'm sure he's hoping to get money for his "find".

These Photos below are from a South American News Report. Although there is no real evidence to support one way or the other whether or not it is an actual Chupacabras, it certainly deserves investigating further.
