CHUPACABRA VAMPIRES (Anomalous Biological Entities)

There is a mysterious animal on the rampage ravaging the countryside. There have been few witnesses, but the aftermath is always the same. Animals are left dead with strange puncture holes and every drop of blood is gone, as if they had been attacked by a vampire. A sighting of thirty citizens of Canavanas, Puerto Rico, reported watching a creature walk down the street, it was said to be leaping from the trees and swooping from the sky. Now this is wild, it reminds of the Bernie Casey movie I saw called Gargoyles or something like those flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz.

Chupacabra (pronounced chew-paw-kahb-rah) means "goat sucker" in Spanish, or if you prefer the official term for such an unclassified creature: Anomalous Biological Entity (ABE). Thousands of animals have fallen prey to these deadly predators. They have been seen all over the Americas, the highest concentration being Puerto Rico, where some believe they originated. To most people, the Chupacabra stories are a recent phenomenon.

The first known report was in 1954, when a strange creature resembling the description of a Chupacabra was spotted in Venezuela. Descriptions of the Chupacabra have varied but people consistently described them as three to four feet tall, standing on powerful hind legs similar to a goat or kangaroo and with reptilian or dinosaur-like features. The feet have been described as three-toed with prints left behind looking like those of a chicken, but larger, with claws. Its face is reported to look similar to a Baboon, its eyes big and red in color. It has been said that there are extrusions coming out of its head and going down the center of its back. It has also been said that they have wings. Its back looks ribbed, similar to that of an iguana which is said to be its folded wings. It also has fangs and a snake type tongue, the skin is grey and is hairy in parts of the body and the creature has a tail. The animal is said to have a loud, ominous hiss which was heard when some dogs temporarily trapped one.

Mayor Jose Soto of Canavanas, Puerto Rico, has lead search parties of vigilantes to hunt these modern-day vampires. In Veracruz, Mexico, people have protested in front of government offices to demand that officials take action against these beasts. Strangely enough, not one has been killed or caught. These creatures have left a wake of animal deaths from domestic house pets to small farm animals. The list includes cats, dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and geese. Citizens are worried that their children might be next. The victimized animals are found with one to three perfect puncture wounds in their necks from five to ten millimeters in diameter. There have been a number of animals slain in Miami. "People are hysterical," said a Miami police department spokesperson.

There seems to be a concerted effort by officials to deny the possibility of this new creature's existence. Local, state and federal officials are eager to debunk the accounts of the Chupacabras by citing scientists and experts stating that the attacks are the work of common predators such as coyotes, pumas, baboons, stray dogs, or exotic animals illegally introduced into the environment. They even go so far as to claim it stems from satanic cults. Many Spanish speaking TV shows have done specials on the Chupacabras, but nothing has been picked up by American national programmers.

Here are just a few stories of incidents:

Puerto Rico: Torrecilla - In the early morning hours a woman heard strange noises in her house and dog barking. A Siamese cat was found dead with its genitals removed two guinea hens with their throats slit, a chicken, four ducks and four rabbits found dead in their cages. San German - 11 goats found dead. Orocovis - Eight sheep found dead. The animals each had three strange marks or puncture holes in the chest and were described as "completely drained of blood". Naguabo - on the east coast several caged rabbits were "found dead with holes in the neck area, without a drop of blood." Other rabbits had disappeared, and near the rabbit cage was an animal track with a three-toed claw.

Mexico: Calderon Village, Sinaloa - A giant bat-like creature terrorized a village. Goats were found daily with their blood sucked dry, witnesses said. Farmers formed night vigilante squads. "We are telling people to keep the women and children locked up inside at night," a villager said, "Nobody knows really what it is." Dozens of goats had fallen victim to the bloodsucker. It allegedly attacked one human. May 9, 1996, 2:00 AM, Espinoza Family - The front door was opened and a creature was seen three to four foot high with scaly skin, clawed hands, red eyes, and a row of spines from the skullcap and down the back. The creature "mumbled and gestured." At 5:30 AM, a seven year-old boy in the same house said the creature stood on his bed and briefly on his chest. Both the older and younger Espinoza family members described a smell "like a wet dog."

Rumor has it that officials from the Puerto Rico government had captured a live Chupacabra in the town of San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, and allegedly brought it to the United States. To date publicly, no culprit has been caught. There are more witnesses and evidence for Chupacabras than there are for sightings of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster combined. Their malevolent nature points out the importance of resolving and or eradicating this problem. These creatures are leaving many questions left unanswered.
