Pazuzu was an Assyrian and Babylonian demonic god of the first millennium BC. He normally has a dog-like face like here, and where his body is depicted he has a scaly torso, a snake-headed penis, the talons of a bird and usually wings. He is often regarded as an evil underworld demon, but he seems also to have played a beneficent role as a protector against disease-bearing winds (especially the west wind). He was closely associated with the demoness Lamashtu who stole babies from their mother's womb or when newly born. Pazuzu acted to counter her evil: he forced her back to the underworld. Amulets of Pazuzu like this were therefore placed in windows hung inside and out of dwellings, attached to bedroom furniture. Smaller versions were hung around the necks of pregnant women.

The chupacabra
(or chupacabras, grunch) is a creature
said to inhabit parts of the Americas.
It is associated New Orleans it is known
as a Grunch or Black Grunch. Puerto
Rico (where it was first reported as
a Chupacabra), Mexico, and the United
States, especially in the latter's Latin
American communities.
The name
Chupacabra translates literally from
Spanish as "goat-sucker".
It comes from the creature's reported
habit of attacking and drinking the
blood of livestock. Physical descriptions
of the creature vary. Grunch Sightings
began in New Orleans in the late 1960's
and Chupacabra, Puerto Rico in the early
1990s, and have since been reported
as far north as the Carolinas, and as
far south as Chile. The Chupacabra,
as it is known now, was called 'El Vampiro
de Moca' {in Puerto Rico}, some years
ago.
The Name
Grunch came from the name of a Road
in the eastern part of New Orleans circa
late 1950's to present day. Where many
numerous stories of blood sucked chickens,
goats, cows and occasional persons were
said to have encountered them eye to
red eye. Many say the legend of the
Grunch dates back to the early settlement
days of New Orleans.
Though
some argue that the chupacabras may
be real creatures, mainstream scientists
and experts generally contend that the
chupacabra and grunch are a legendary
creature, or a type of urban legend.
Originated
in Puerto Rico in the township of Canóvanas,
numerous sightings locate him in the
United States, Central America (Mexico,
El Salvador, Guatemala) and South America
(Brazil, Chile) New Orleans as a Grunch.
The species
would dwell underneath the soil in cave-like
structures whose origins and makeup
are currently unknown. Other pretends
that they come from the future or a
5th dimension.
The legend
of el chupacabra began in about 1992,
when Puerto Rican newspapers El Vocero
and El Nuevo Dia began reporting the
killings of many different types of
animals, such as birds, horses, and
as its name implies, goats. At the time
it was known as El Vampiro de Moca since
some of the first killings occurred
in the small town of Moca. While at
first it was suspected that the killings
were done randomly by some members of
a Satanic cult, eventually these killings
spread around the island, and many farms
reported loss of animal life. The killings
had one pattern in common: each of the
animals found dead had two punctured
holes around their necks.
Soon
after the animal deaths in Puerto Rico,
other animal deaths were reported in
other countries, such as the Dominican
Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile,
Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Peru,
Brazil, the United States and, most
notably, Mexico, New Orleans.
Chupacabra
in the news
At
the height of the chupacabra craze,
there were many "Goatsucker Home
Pages" on the Internet. The web
site of radio host Art Bell, Coast To
Coast AM posted an alleged photograph
of a living chupacabra, depicting a
creature later exposed as a statue from
a museum exhibit.
The
chupacabras phenomenon continues up
to this day, with the most recent reports
of attacks continuing to come out of
Chile, Puerto Rico, and New Orleans.
Chupacabra
Description
There are several variations of what
people believe the Chupacabra to look
like. The current theory is that it
is a bipedal creature around four to
five feet tall described as a sort of
a cross between a 'Grey' alien humanoid,
mainly because the shape of its head
and eyes, and what most witnesses describe
as the body of a bipedal, erect dinosaur.
It has two small arms with a three-fingered
clawed hand, two strong hind almost
reptilian legs, again with three claws
and spinal quills down its back, which
it uses to fly. This appears to enable
it to run quickly and leap over trees.
Its head is oval in shape and has an
elongated jaw. Two red or black beady
eyes have been reported, together with
small holes in the nostril area, a small
slit-like mouth with fang-type teeth
protruding upwards and downwards from
the jaw. It appears to have strong course
hair all over its body; and whilst most
observers claim the hair is black, it
has the remarkable ability to change
colours at will, almost like a chameleon.
In the dark, it will change to black
or a deep brown color; in a sunlit area
surrounded by vegetation, it changes
to green, green-grey, light brown or
beige. Some believes it to be a half-man,
half-beast vampire, while still others
say it is similar to a panther with
red eyes and the tongue of a snake.
Another version is that it hops like
a kangaroo and smells like sulfur.

Descriptions of the physical appearance
of each specimen can resemble descriptions
of other reports, or be completely different
from other chupacabra descriptions.
Differences in descriptions are too
wide to be attributed to differences
in the perceptions of the observers,
causing cryptozoologists to speculate
that chupacabra reports may in fact
be attributable to several species.
Although they have different appearances,
chupacabra descriptions have several
common traits. They are typically described
as being 3 ft. (1 m) or taller, and
roughly humanoid in shape.
In New
Orleans the Chupacabra or Grunch is
said to resemble a goat with horns that
walks on two legs. It stands3 to 4 feet
(1 to 1.2 m) high, many oral traditions
say it's the cross between a a human
and a goat. But it is said to certainly
suck blood from it's victims. Grunch
colors vary from grey, green, green-grey,
light brown or black, but always red
glowing eyes. Some believes it to be
a half-man, half-beast vampire goat,
while still others say it is similar
to a Louisiana panther with red eyes
and the tongue of a snake, rather a
mini Loupe Garou.
In general,
chupacabras are said to appear in three
specific forms:
The first
and most common form is a lizard-like
being, appearing to have leathery or
scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines
or quills running down its back. This
form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet
(1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops
in a similar fashion to a kangaroo.
In at least one sighting, the creature
hopped 20 feet (6 m). This variety is
said to have a dog or panther-like nose
and face, a forked tongue protruding
from it, large fangs, and to hiss and
screech when alarmed, as well as leave
a sulfuric stench behind.
El
Vampiro de Moca
The Chupacabra or Chupacabras (pronunciation: /tʃupa'kabɾa/, from the Spanish words chupar, meaning "to suck", and cabra, meaning "goat"; literally "goat sucker"), also called El Chupacabras in Spanish, is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. From alien like with large red eyes, to that of dog or coyote like creatures. Recent discoveries s in Texas points them being hybrid creatures part canine part worlf or wild dog species.
Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. Biologists and wildlife management officials view the Chupacabra as a contemporary legend. Excerpts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra
Many tales of the blood sucking beast have been told in Latin America and in the Southern parts of United States. Many wonder if these night creatures or living in other areas of world, and they just have not been reported yet. Some actually believe that they are large part of the many Vampire myths.
The creatures or thought to be mostly nocturnal by many accounts only attacking it's prey at night. They seem to feed on small animals including family pets and livestock. Although there are accounts of late of Horses and cattle showing signs of attacks resembling the goat suckers M. O..
From all that I have gathered on the creature it seems that it is more then just dangerous to animals it has also been reported to attack people of all ages. though descriptions are often sketchy or reported as hoax's.

Chupacabras: And Other Mysteries by Scott Corrales
Chupacabras and Other Mysteries is a nonfiction work by a veteran bilingual researcher who answers the public outcry for more information on the "goat sucker" that has been mutilating animals and terrorizing the residents of Puerto Rico and other countries around the Gulf of Mexico, and about UFO encounters, government cover-ups, shape shifters, Bigfoot, and other mysteries. Photo section, notes, bibliography, index.
The blood sucking creature dubbed El Chupacabra has struck again!
According to tradition El Chupacabra, a vampire like creature, first appeared in Puerto Rico in the 1970s, but the Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit has found new information suggesting the first sighting may have been as early as the mid 1950s in mainland USA. Now the nasty critter has made its way through Mexico to the driest place on Earth; the Atacama Desert in Chile…… and this time the creature’s victims include humans.
Is El Chupacabra or the "Goat Sucker" as it's also known, the same creature depicted as Gargoyles on centuries old churches in Europe, or is it really a mutant creature known to NASA, as many people believe.
The Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit goes in search of El Chupacabra's real identity and meets victims, witnesses and scientists who describe a creature 3 - 5 feet tall with a dark gray hairy body, glowing red eyes, sharp protruding teeth and three-fingered claw-like hands.
Daniel and Natalie travel to Chile to investigate local reports of El Chupacabra attacks in Antofagasta and Calama, where the creature is said to have left a trail of dead animal drained of every drop of blood. One woman claims she was attacked outside her home and has the wounds to prove it.
Cryptozoology A To Z: The Encyclopedia of Loch Monsters, Sasquatch, Chupacabras, and Other Authentic Mysteries of Nature by Loren Coleman
The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman -- these are the names of the elusive beasts that have caught the eye and captured the imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Recently, tales of these "monsters" have been corroborated by an increase in sightings, and out of these legends a new science has been born: cryptozoology -- the study of hidden animals.
Cryptozoology A to Z, the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, Cryptozoology A to Z is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science.

The second variety bears a resemblance
to a wallaby or dog standing on its
hind legs. It stands and hops as a kangaroo,
and it has coarse fur with greyish facial
hair. The head is similar to a dog's,
and its mouth has large teeth.
The third form is described as a strange
breed of wild dog. This form is mostly
hairless, has a pronounced spinal ridge,
unusually pronounced eye sockets, teeth,
and claws. This animal is said to be
the result of interbreeding between
several populations of wild dogs, though
enthusiasts claim that it might be an
example of a dog-like reptile. The account
during the year 2001 in Nicaragua of
a chupacabra's corpse being found supports
the conclusion that it is simply a strange
breed of wild dog. The alleged corpse
of the animal was found in Tolapa, Nicaragua,
and forensically analyzed at UNAN-Leon.
Pathologists at the University found
that it was just an unusual-looking
dog. There are very striking morphological
differences between different breeds
of dog, which can easily account for
the strange characteristics.
Many
residents of South America and the New
Orleans area have reported sightings
of Chupacabra, and although various,
the descriptions share some significant
likenesses. In many reports, accounts
include the visible inflation of the
stomach region, after La Chupacabra
has been feeding. The appearance of
the animal changes when an internal
bladder-like organ fills with the blood
of its prey. Another common characteristic
associated with the sightings, are overly
visible and large testes. The speculated
reason for the enlarged testicles is
that the frequency of female La Chupacabras
is very low. For this reason, when mating
occurs it is neccesary for the process
to be virtually guarenteed to impregnate
the female. Furthermore, with almost
all the reported sightings witnesses
have reported large portruding fangs.
These fangs are suspected to be hollow
and be the vehicles for the blood on
which it feeds.
It has
been described as similar to gargoyles,
so it has been theorized that the creatures
were seen in Medieval Europe. According
to this theory, gargoyles were carved
to resemble chupacabras, to keep the
public afraid of any place with gargoyles.
Chupacabra:
descriptions of the creature has remained
fairly consistent over the years
three
to five feet tall
dark gray facial skin
coarse hair on the body, and several
reports said it has a chameleon-like
appearance, with the ability to change
from purple to brown to yellow
black eyes, or glowing orange or red
eyes
a wolf-like or canine nose
sharp fangs
short forearms with three-fingered claw-like
"hands"
a row of fins, spikes or quills running
down the length of its back
stands on two powerful-looking hind
legs and clawed feet
often hops on the ground, like a kangaroo,
rather than walks (at least one witness
claimed it could leap as far as 20 feet
in one bound)
some reported bat-like wings that enable
the chupacabras to fly
it makes a hissing noise that often
makes witnesses nauseous
Some cryptozoologists speculate that
chupacabras are alien creatures. Chupacabras
are widely described as otherworldly,
and, according to one witness report,
NASA may be involved with this particular
alien's residency on earth. The witness
reported that NASA passed through an
area in Latin America, with a trailer
that was thought to contain an incarcerated
creature.
Some people in the island of Puerto
Rico believe that the chupacabras were
a genetic experiment from some United
States' government agency, which escaped
from a secret laboratory in El Yunque,
a mountain in the east part of the island.
Some superstitious people with high
levels of imagination might be seeing
something innocous, like a dog in shadows,
and think it's something else.
Both
in Puerto Rico and Mexico, "el
chupacabra" gained urban legend
status. Chupacabra stories began to
be released several times in American
and Hispanic newscasts
across the United States, and chupacabra
merchandise, such as t-shirts and baseball
caps, were sold.
The chupacabra
is generally treated as a product of
mass hysteria, though the animal mutilations
are sometimes real. Like many cases
of such mutilations, however, it has
been argued that they are often not
as mysterious as they might first appear,
and in fact, in a series of tests showcased
by the National Geographic Channel in
a show about the chupacabra, pointed
to the obvious conclusion that every
single "animal mutilation"
can be explained by either people killing
them or, more likely, other animals
eating them. The lack of blood is explained
by insects drinking it.

Chupacabra
Powers
Chupacabra are said that thay can change
colors like a chamaleon. They can also
fly or leap over twenty feet in a single
bound according to some witnesses. The
Grunch and Chupacabra are said to fly.
In some instances they swoop down from
the trees in New Orleans East suburbs
like a large owl and snatch small prey.
Some
reports claim the chupacabra's red eyes
have the ability to hypnotize and paralyze
their prey—leaving the prey animal
mentally stunned, allowing the chupacabra
to suck the animal's blood at its leisure.
The effect is similar to the bite of
the vampire bat, or of certain snakes
or spiders that stun their prey with
venom. Unlike conventional predators,
the chupacabras sucks all the animal's
blood (and sometimes organs) through
a single hole or two holes.
They
also exhibit intelligent behavior and
possesses some rudimentary skill of
becoming undetectable. Some say they
can open locks, figure out traps and
avoid them and actually use sticks and
pointed items as tools.
These
powers have presumably helped Chupacabras
to escape and avoid instances of close
contact with people. And of course most
certainly get to their prey undetected.
REAL
CHUPACABRA PHOTOS
Jay
Wroe caught a creature in maryland
and named it a hyote because it
was so strange looking. He tried
to identify it but was told it was
a coyote with mange.
Chupacabra
Sightings
Certain South American rain forest natives
believe in the "mosquito-man",
a mythical creature of their folklore
that pre-dates modern chupacabras sightings.
The mosquito-man sucks the blood from
animals through his long nose, like
a big mosquito. Some say mosquito-man
and chupacabras are one and the same.
Notable
sightings in the United States include
one reported by multiple eye-witnesses
in Calaveras County, California, and
at a recent birthday celebration of
a Development Team member of a local
charity in Houston, Texas. According
to these reports, the creature was sighted
for the first time in the early to mid
1990s, harming animals of different
species. However, it is now thought
that people did this themselves.
This
picture above was taken by Regie Lagow
He is the one who took the picture
of the animal that was killing his
chickens. He lost all but one chicken
and his neighbor lost all but three.
In three weeks it killed about thirty
chickens, sometimes two a day. The
animal has been disposed of so there
is nothing to get dna from. If you
look at the pictures you can see its
not a coyote like some people claim.
In July
of 2004, a rancher near San Antonio,
Texas, killed a hairless, dog-like creature
which was attacking his livestock. This
creature is now known as the Elmendorf
Creature. It was later determined to
be a canine of some sort, most likely
a coyote, with demodestic mange. In
October of 2004, two animals which closely
resemble the Elmendorf creature were
observed in the same area. The first
was dead, and the second was noticed
by a local zoologist who was called
to identify the animal while she was
travelling to the location where the
first was found. Specimens were studied
by biologists in Texas. The creatures
are thought to have been canines of
undetermined species with skin problems
and facial deformities.
The chupacabra
has often been spotted in Michigan.
A recent sighting occurred in Grand
Haven, when a forty-two year old man
claimed he saw it suck the blood out
of a cat.
A famous
appearance in the city of Varginha,
Brazil, (the "Varginha incident")
is sometimes attributed to the chupacabra,
although cryptozoologists more frequently
associate the incident with extraterrestrials.
In 1997, an explosion of chupacabra
sightings in Brazil were reported in
Brazilian newspapers. One report came
from a police officer, who claimed to
get a nauseous feeling when he saw a
dog-like chupacabras in a tree.
Recently,
there has been a surge of chupacabra
sightings in the United States, specifically
in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.,
and outside of the Philadelphia area.
However, controversy exists whether
these chupacabras sightings are legitimate.
Some contend that this chupacabra is
simply a beagle named Sophie Peanuts.
Washington PostPhiladelphia Inquirer
In
April of 2006, MOSNEWS.com, reported
that the chupacabra was spotted for
the first time in Russia. Reports from
Central Russia as far back as March
2005 tell of a beast that kills animals
and sucks out their blood. 32 turkeys
were killed and drained overnight. Reports
later came from neighboring villages
when 30 sheep were killed and had their
blood drained. Finially eyewitnesses
were able to describe the chupacabra.
This May experts are determined to to
track the animal down.
El Chupacabras
was preceded by a Puerto Rican monster
known as the Moca Vampire, which had
been reported in conjunction with a
rash of UFO sightings in 1975. A number
of farmers discovered animals massacred
after strange lights appeared in the
sky. Investigators examining the slain
animals, which included ducks, goats,
geese and cows, noted with astonishment
that they had been completely drained
of blood with almost surgical precision.
The Moca Vampire was apparently never
sighted firsthand, but it was generally
admitted that illegaly-imported crocodiles
were responsible for the killings.
In March
1995, the Puerto Rican towns of Orocovis
and Morovis began to be plagued by some
force that was mysteriously murdering
their animals. The carcasses of goats,
chickens and other small farm animals
were reported to be thoroughly exsanguinated,
with the blood often said to have been
drained out through a single neat puncture
wound.

Boys Saw a Strange Creature
While Hunting
Boys Found a Scary Sight While
Hunting
by Ramonica R. Jones
"We found him walking
around and the dog started chasing
him, and after he started chasing
him, we looked at it and it
looked like a sheep, so my brother
walked up there, and Koty saw
a head that looked kind of like
a coyote."
Kolby Russell and his brother
Koty found it while they were
squirrel hunting near Old Rifle
Road. The animal had leathery
skin, long teeth, and hind legs
longer than its front legs.
So what do they think it is?
"Umm, coyote with mange,"
said Kolby. "I've seen
mange before, and he has a body
kind of built like a coyote,
but he's real skinny."
Whatever it is, it put up a
fight.
Koty Russell said, "We
shot it. I shot three times
and he shot a couple times -
squirrel shot - and it just
ran over there and fell down.
It got back up and we shot a
couple more times with buckshot
and knocked it down."
This isn't the first one the
Russell boys have seen.
"I had chased it a couple
times earlier, about a month
ago, and my friends didn't believe
me," said Koty. "I
finally showed them."
Several of these creatures
have been seen roaming around
Angelina County. The Russells
said they don't seem to travel
in packs, and they're certain
there are more out there.
The Russell Family will send
photos they've taken to the
county's animal control department,
then wait and see if the animal
will be taken in for testing
to determine exactly what it
is.
Sightings
and slain livestock continued to be
reported in various parts of Puerto
Rico throughout the fall of 1995. The
Goatsucker allegedly killed 11 goats
in the town of San German, and on one
occasion a group of townspeople said
they chased the creature away as it
was attempting to kill three roosters.
In Guanica, 44-year-old Osvaldo Claudio
Rosado claimed to have been grabbed
from behind by a gorilla. Puerto Rico
has no gorillas. After fighting off
the creature, Rosado needed treatment
for scratches and cuts around his torso.
In Canovanas, seemingly an epicenter
of Chupacabras activity with more than
150 animal slayings reported in 1995.
Several witnesses have seen it in broad
daylight. One such occasion was witnessed
by Madeline Tolentino and her neighbours
in the Campo Rico community (municipality
of Canovanas). They all observed it
walking down a street at 3.00 pm in
the afternoon. As they approached it,
the creature ran away, 'at a fantastic
speed' and escaped. Mayor Jose "Chemo"
Soto raised an army of volunteers and
personally hunted every week for Chupa
during nearly a year, armed with rifles
and a caged goat. He failed to catch
it but was, however, re-elected.
Since
then, the Chupacabras has been blamed
in the deaths of over 2000 animals ranging
from other livestock to household pets.
Puerto Rico is no longer the exclusive
playground of the creature. Through
the Spanish-speaking media, the story
travelled through Mexico and the United
States, leading to sightings of the
beast in several cities including Miami,
New York, San Antonio, Cambridge, and
San Francisco. 69 chickens, goats and
ducks were found dead on a Florida lawn,
again with their blood drained. Michigan
and Oregon suffered subsequent attacks.
A rash of bloodsuckings in Mexico created
a minor media sensation by late 1996.
In October of 1999, Brazil's Corriero
Braziliense newspaper reported nine
goats and three sheep dead with single
wounds on the neck. Other Brazilian
eyewitnesses claimed to have seen an
animal that fly or leap with powerful,
monkey-like hind legs, attacking animals
and humans both. In April of 2000, farmers
in Calamain, a mining town in the heart
of Chile's harsh northern desert, awoke
to find their goats and sheep dead in
their pens. An unidentified predator
had mutilated the animals' necks and
sucked their blood. Calama officials
quickly called in the National Guard.
Hundreds of armed soldiers undertook
a massive search of the area, hunting
the Chupacabra. Night patrols, however,
found nothing; neither the beast, nor
the puma skeptics believed was the real
killer. By late June, an official Chilean
government statement had blamed the
attacks on wild dogs.
EL CHUPACABRA
In October 1995, Luis Guadaloupe
walked into his local police
station in the town of Canovanas
on the island of Puerto Rico
in the Caribbean. He had an
unusual story to report to the
police - whilst going about
his normal business for the
day, he had a strange experience.
Luis had encountered a bizarre
creature -
"It was really ugly, like
a demon, around four to five
feet tall with huge elongated
red eyes. It moved like a kangaroo
- jumping on its powerful back
legs. It had a long pointed
tongue which moved in and out
of its mouth. It was gray but
its back seemed to change colour
- it gave off a foul "sulphuric-like
stench".
Since 1995,
from all parts of the island,
many people have witnessed this
creature - some describing it
with a ridge of spines on its
back. Furthermore, farmers and
local people have lost thousands
of animals - cattle, sheep,
goats as well as dogs, cats
and birds - their gruesome deaths
being attributed to the strange
creature.
When examined the bodies of
the slaughtered animals frequently
reveal shocking and dumbfounding
evidence - small holes in the
neck or head and a complete
absence of blood in their bodies.
Hence, the people of Puerto
Rico gave this strange creature
the name "El Chupacabra"
- the Goat-sucker.
In early 1995 a police officer
was sent to investigate an animal
which had been found mutilated.
When he arrived at the scene
he discovered a mutilated sheep
and whilst examining the body
he became aware of something
watching him from the shadows.
He was staggered to see a creature
about five feet tall with dark
skin and orange-yellow eyes.
When the creature left the scene
the police officer chased it
only to be quickly overcome
with a severe headache and nausea.
He soon collapsed.
The existence of this strange
creature can hardly be denied
but, despite the fact that hundreds
of people on Puerto Rico have
seen "Chupacabras",
descriptions do vary. Some eyewitnesses
describe the creature with wings
- others do not.
Another aspect of these strange
events is that quite often sightings
of UFOs accompany the discovery
of the mutilated remains of
animals.
Jorge Martin, editor of "Evidencia
OVNI" - Puerto Rica's UFO
magazine - stated:
"I believe there is a strong
connection between the Chupacabras
and UFO activity in this area.
Many people who witness the
Chupacabra also report some
sort of aerial phenomena. These
witnesses - separated socially
as well as geographically, give
remarkably similar UFO descriptions.
I don't think this can be ignored
when trying to understand the
Chupacabra phenomenon. At first
I believed these animals to
be the result of some genetic
or bionic experiment, but I
now believe that they are not
of terrestrial origin.
I have confidential sources
that have informed me that two
Chupacabras have been captured
by the authorities here and
are being studies in conjunction
with U.S. investigators - there
is a possibility that someone,
somewhere knows exactly what
is going on. Right now, I would
say the situation is out of
control. It's happening everywhere
and government officials who
are elected by us to solve our
problems are not doing this
at the moment".
Jorge Martin - editor of Puerto
Rico's "Evidencia OVNI"
magazine, believes there is
a link between Chupacabras and
UFOs
The authorities, initially,
explained the events as hysteria
or mischief by humans. However,
they did employ government veterinarians
to conduct official autopsies
on twenty animals which had
become victims of the Chupacabra.
Dr. Hector Garcia, head of the
government's Agricultural Department
of Veterinarian Services stated:
"The autopsies revealed
a variety of causes of death,
including parasites. I believe
the attacks are most likely
due to feral dogs or a rhesus
monkey imported to Puerto Rico
for scientific experiments".
Veterinary Surgeon Soledad de
la Pena was perplexed when she
examined the bodies of mutilated
sheep - Chupacabra victims
These remarks attracted widespread
derision and accusations of
a government cover-up - a cover-up
assisted by the media.
Taking into account the vast
number of animals killed, the
numerous eyewitness accounts
and terribly mutilated bodies,
the official explanation does,
without doubt, appear doubtful
- at the very least.
Some researchers have suggested
that the Chupacabras are the
result of some kind of covert
genetic experiment conducted
by the military. These points
are valid because there is ample
evidence of the US military
using Puerto Rico for experiments
involving illegal weapons and
a whole variety of top-secret
projects - such as Agent Orange
and Thalidomide. Also experiments
using "radiation weapons"
have been carried out on the
island.
Meanwhile Chupacabra events
continued to be reported - Juan
Collazo, a policeman, shot a
Chupacabra at close range …
with no apparent effect. Jesus
Sanchez, resident of Gurabo,
discovered the dead bodies of
his rabbits in his backyard
and decided to mount a vigil,
waiting for the creature to
return. Several days later Sanchez
found himself face to face with
a Chupacabra. He dazzled it
with a powerful flashlight and
gave it two blows with his machete.
He remarked "The blows
sounded like I had struck a
hollow drum". The creature
escaped, apparently unharmed.
A fire chief also claims to
have scared away a Chupacabra
by shooting at it. Some hairs
were left at the scene and are
being analyzed.
Because the
state of affairs has become
so serious in the town of Canovanas,
the mayor - Jose Soto, who previously
was a police detective, has
organized a series of expeditions
to try to capture the Chupacabras.
With the help of 200 heavily
armed volunteers and the civil
defense unit, Soto has laid
traps in the jungles of El Yunque
in the Cubuy region of Puerto
Rico, an area that has also
long been a hotspot for UFO
sightings.
Mayor Soto states that he has
no choice but to take fears
about the Chupacabras seriously
but his pleas to the authorities
are unheeded. He also said:
"Whatever it is, it's highly
intelligent - today it is attacking
animals, but tomorrow it may
attack people."
Carlos Soto - a veterinary surgeon
- recreates the marks left after
a typical predator attack. The
jaws usually leave damaged tissues
on both sides of the neck -
no so with the Chupacabra .
Sightings spread to 40 of the
70 Puerto Rican municipalities
and, in fact, sightings are
being made in all parts of the
island - does this mean they
are rapidly breeding?
In deed, reports of Chupacabras
began to emerge from places
far away from Puerto Rico -
Miami, Texas, Florida, California
and Northern Mexico.
Hundreds of attacks have been
reported in Mexico and in some
cases more than 60 animals have
been slaughtered - all of them
had circular holes, usually
in the neck. Whereas Chupacabra
attacks in Puerto Rico were
limited to animal mutilation,
in Mexico it has been claimed
that the creature has attacked
people.
How the Chupacabra
managed to migrate from Puerto
Rico to U.S. mainland is not
clear - the two countries are
separated by 1000 miles of water.
But it is clear that descriptions
of creatures seen in California
are the same as the Puerto Rican
Chupacabra.
Juan - a local peasant farmer
told of how 30 animals had been
killed in one night. Earlier
that evening may eyewitnesses
claimed to have seen UFOs.

of Radames Marin in Youco, Puerto
Rico. The sheep were found to
be free of rigor mortis several
days after their death - confounding
the experts.

- a clean incision in the neck
or throat with no evidence
of a struggle
The Alien
Theory
One speculation of the Chupacabras'
origin is that it is either an offshoot
or an abandoned pet of other intelligent
beings that came to Earth a long time
ago.
Luminous
oval and pyramidal shaped UFOs have
been seen in the vicinity where animals
have been mutilated and found to be
without blood. These have been reported
in the towns of Cabo Rojo, Canovanas,
Ponce and Naranjito. In Barrio Hato,
the Rojas family observed a UFO. A horse
and several goats were found mutilated
shortly after the observation.
Disinformation
and debunking campaigns appeared organised
through UFO groups stating "Chupacabras"
belong to a voracious reptilian race
of creatures, alien in origin, who have
started "devouring the populace.
The Experiment
Theory
The Chupacabras is also believed to
be the result of secret government experiments
in genetics. Some pretend that the lethal
'orange agent' and other dioxine-based
chemical agents as well as gamma radiation
tests have been tested in several places
by the US Government on the island's
population and territory for decades.Knowing
that thanks to genetic manipulations,
incredible new breeds of animals and
plants, it is quite possible that the
"Chupacabras" could have been
developed by humans.
The Vampire
Theory
The Chupacabra was once believed to
be El Vampire de Moco, another legendary
mauler of animals of Puerto Rico which
turned out to be crocodiles illegally
released onto the island.
The other
Dimension/Time Theory
The Chupacabras, or aliens that we are
seeing would be humans of the future....
our own children.... travelling through
time in order to prevent the chemical
crisis that caused them to evolve into
"chupacabras. Our future-humans
arrive at critical times in order to
either warn us or attempt to prevent
the progress of the technology that
will go awry and cause physical mutations.
Chupacabra
The Wild Animals Theory
Throughout the killings, the authorities
have claimed the deaths are due to attacks
from groups of stray dogs, baboons or
exotic animals illegally introduced
in the island's territory. The director
of Puerto Rico's Department of Agriculture
Veterinary Services Division, Hector
Garcia, has stated that, "it could
be dogs, that the small puncture wounds
observed in the victims necks are similar
to those inflicted by the fangs of canines."
He also stated that no other unusual
features have been observed in the dead
animals examined by his division, and
this included no loss of blood. Veterinarian
Angel Luis Santana, of the private Gardenville
Clinic, in San Juan, said, "it
could be a human being who belongs to
a religious sect, even another animal.
It could also be someone who wants to
make fun out of the Puerto Rican people.
Loren Coleman agrees and is comfortable
with the wild dog explanation. "Dog
packs tend to do that, go on frenzied
attacks, eat a little, then leave the
rest."
Chupacabra Evidences
The corpses of its victims have been
found with many small but regular pattern
circular holes about 1/4" - 1/2"
in diameter arranged in pairs of triangular
fashion. These particular openings have
been located in the neck, chest, belly,
and anal areas, and appear to have been
made with a surgeon’s scalpel.
There are also reports of certain organs
missing from the victims, yet no visible
means of extraction was found on the
bodies. Reproductive, sexual organs,
anus, eyes and other soft tissue have
sometimes been removed.
The wounds
may be similar in appearance to bites
inflicted by dogs or baboons due to
them being round and small, but the
similarity ends there. These wounds
penetrate through the right jawbone,
muscle and tissue, and straight into
the brain, more specifically directly
to the cerebellum, puncturing it and
causing instant death to the animal.
This reveals a type of euthanasia technique,
for this method prevents the attacked
animal from suffering.
When
the wounds appear on the sides and belly
of the victim, the penetration usually
cuts through the stomach, down to the
liver, apparently removing sections
of the organ and absorbing liquid from
it. The wall of the wound seems also
to have been cauterized apparently to
prevent excessive blood loss and no
natural inflammatory processes have
been observed in the dead animals tissues.
Moreover there are no trauma, abrasions,
scratches, bites or pressure observed
by the examiners on the opposite side
of the wound. In most cases the victims
lack rigor mortis and remain flexible,
days after their death. Incredibly in
some incidents, the blood, which remained
in the body, would not clot or coagulate
for days following death.
The Mysterious animal
has been blamed for attacking and killing
a Doberman pinscher and a Rottweiler
the past couple of years.
Expert:
"Hybrid Mutant" Is Just A
Wild Dog
Turner, ME (AHN) - An expert who examined
the remains of the mysterious animal
found dead over the weekend, believes
it was just a wild dog. Resident from
Litchfield, Sabattus, Greene, Turner,
Lewiston and Auburn have complained
for years about the mysterious animal
with its chilling monstrous cries.
Loren
Coleman, a Portland author and cryptozoologist,
said though he didn't know for sure
what the animal was, but based on his
examination of its remains, "I
think this dead animal is a chow or
chow-mix, a relatively small dog, that
was feral, which is unusual for that
area," he told the Sun Journal
newspaper.
State
wildlife biologists and local animal
control officers had declined to go
to Turner to examine the remains of
the animal, which was found Saturday
near power lines along Route 4.
The animal
was apparently hit by a car while chasing
a cat.
The carcass
had was photographed and inspected by
several people who live in the area
and a number of speculations were made
over the identity of the creature.
Some
said it was simply a dog. Others said
it was a goat-sheep hybrid. Still others
weighed in that the creature might have
been a Tasmanian devil, a dingo, a wolf
or coyote and other more outlandish
theories involved mutations and extraterrestrials.
By the
time Coleman arrived on Wednesday only
bones and skin of the mystery creature
were left on the spot. The internal
organs and skull were gone.
Nonetheless,
he came away with a paw and other body
parts to be examined later. Another
paw has been taken by the Sun Journal,
which is exploring the possibility of
conducting DNA tests.

Posted By: Papa Zazzaldi, on April 18, 2007at 10:52:31pm In July of 2004, a rancher near San Antonio, Texas, killed a hairless, dog-like creature which was attacking his livestock. This creature is now known as the Elmendorf Creature. It was later determined to be a canine of some sort, most likely a coyote, with demodestic mange. In October of 2004, two animals which closely resemble the Elmendorf creature were observed in the same area. The first was dead, and the second was noticed by a local zoologist who was called to identify the animal while she was going to the location where the first was found. Specimens were studied by biologists in Texas. The creatures are thought to have been canines of undetermined species with skin problems and facial deformities.
