If You're A Scientist--Please Don't Read This

Well, with that unpleasant business out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks: the Chupacabras, the paranormal predator that left bloodless animals and terrified humans in its wake 5 years ago, has returned with renewed intensity thousands of miles from its original stomping grounds in the Caribbean and Mesoamerica. The entity has caused havoc in northern Chile's salt producing regions since late March or early April 2000, and shows no signs of stopping.

One creature or many? Reports describe simian creatures, glowing vampiric entities, and four-legged monstrosities with glowing yellow eyes. The Chilean version of the Chupacabras appears to be much more proficient than the "Mark 1" version--if newspaper accounts are to be taken seriously, the animal deaths now rise into the thousands, leaving the original death toll far behind. More ominous are the (completely unconfirmed) suggestions that an international effort may be afoot to conceal Chupacabras activity in the South American locations in question.

To the frustration and anger of many, Chupacabras remains a journalistic phenomenon lacking any conclusive proof. Samples of hair gathered from the crime scenes are under the control of the Chilean state police and public disclosure--although mandated by that country's courts--is unlikely. Researcher Dr. Virgilio Sanchez Ocejo recently visited that country (in the throes of the worst winter in history) and returned convinced that something is indeed happening in the small salt-mining communities of Calama and Maria Elena: sleepy desert towns whose everyday existence has been shattered by this unwanted, unwelcome phenomenon.
