Two children find remains of a strange creature - a Chupacabra ?
The animal remains were found on Tuesday at 1:30 pm while young Angel Oquendo, 6, played with his brother Sixto, 10, between the
supports and footings of a recently built dwelling on family property in the Canalizo sector near the city of Utuado.
According to Adelaida Quiles, Angel's mother, the boy called to her while she roasted a pig for Christmas Eve
dinner." He called me saying, Mommy, come here, there's a dead
mouse and I ignored him, but he kept calling and I asked my husband to take over the preparations while I took a look."
As soon as she sound the dead animal's remains near a house support she called her husband, Cesar Oquendo, realising that the remains
were not something she could readily identify. They slid a piece of cardboard under it to bring it out into the light. "Upon seeing it, we wondered if that thing
could be the Chupacabras or something similar," said Quiles.
A quick observation revealed that the animal had no traces of wool, hair or feathers on its carcass. Nor was there any
evidence of it having had upper extremities or wings. The creature would have apparently stood some 2 ft. tall and was
supported by its rear extremities, which had pronounced claws and three equally long bones. This gave the impression that it
was able to jump considerable heights. Its wide, elongated head, with prominent eyes, sported a complete set of teeth with long
upper fangs, two of them in the molar area and another in the lower jaw, indicating a carnivorous nature
The ears were palm-shaped and measured nearly an inch in length, and there was a curved shape to its spinal column. The creature
also had a pointed tail measuring nearly 18 inches long and similar to that of a reptile - it appeared to have provided support
for it while it walked.
The surprise among the local residents was still considerable as they awaited the arrival of a Forensic Sciences researcher who
would verify the animal's characteristics. Curiously, several birds had been slain months ago on the same rural
property: eight hens and one rooster were found slain outside their cages and had belonged to Victor Quiles, Adelaida's father. Jose Carlos Rivera, residing in the same area, lost five hens
consecutively around the same time and in the same manner. He stated that an uncle of his lost
twenty three animals and his sister
a further two. |

Update - Puerto Rico, February 8th, 2003 |
The "Chupacabra" appeared in a central sector of Fajardo, in the east of Puerto Rico, where it allegedly slew two rabbits, "sucking" all of their blood,
and leaving a goat near death.
Domingo Ramos, 70, reported to the Police that he had witnessed the bizarre activity of the Chupacabra as it killed his rabbits
and afterwards tried to drain his goat's blood.
The time was around 2:00 a.m. Monday when Domingo, who lives in Desvío Street, heard a noises out by his rabbit hutches and looking
through the window, was horrified to see a giant bird with large wings and bulging eyes drinking his animals' blood.
Domingo said: "The creature measured over 5 feet in height, practically attacking the
goat in a single motion and draining its blood by biting near the heart"
The police are investigating. |

Approximately 20 rabbits were found dead in some cages of
the barrio Ollas of Santa Isabel," near Ponce, Puerto Rico.
Residents accused the Chupacabras of viciously attacking the creatures.
The alleged incident took place in the early hours of the morning in the backyard of the house owned by William Maldonado Sanchez.
There were several rabbit cages at the site, but the only cages attacked were the ones containing female specimens. Maldonado's neighbours claim having heard noises at around 1 a.m. but didn't
notice anything strange. Sanchez remarked that something strange had happened in the backyard; only four of the rabbits showed signs of violence; one of the four had a wound on the neck; another two had abdominal injuries; and another had scratches on its paw. Some of the rabbits were found dead in the cages; others on the ground near the entrance of the house. The male rabbits were spared, he says,
because their cage was stronger." Maldonado Sanchez phoned the police to report the incident.
Apparently a footprint with three prominent indentations was found under one of his cages.
On Friday, February 21, 2003, it was reported on television that animal mutilations had taken place in La Cuchilla de Candelero
Debaso in Humacao, a port city on the eastern shore of Puerto Rico.
Television reports stated that an unknown animal killed all of the pigs in their pens and ripped apart 9 male rabbits, leaving one female alone.
Eyewitnesses observed a shadowy form running away. At the scene of that incident, it was possible to recover a plaster cast of a feline paw print. The print is in the custody of the Department of Natural
Resources. The Television documentary also shows scratches on the pens' wooden parts which were apparently made by the animal in
question. there are no predatory feline species native to Puerto Rico)
Another incident took place during the early hours of (Monday) February 17 (2003) in a neighbourhood in the city of Anasco on Puerto Rico's western coast. In this event, 26 rabbits were mutilated, presenting different injuries. Some of them were torn apart.
An elderly man reported hearing shrill squeals and the sensation that a humanoid form was leaping over the rooftops. Another witness reported not hearing any sounds, but that his dogs were nervous and frightened to such an extent that they hid under the bed." |

The Hunt for the Chupacabras is On!
Allegations of NASA offering a reward
The Miami UFO Center has learned that there has been reports of several armed searches in various parts of Chile and Argentina
in order to find a humanoid creature believed to be the blood
predator known as "the chupacabras." Due to the severity of the financial losses of farmers in light of recent animal
mutilations, the search parties not only consist of law enforcement personnel, but angry civilian farmers are taking
part as well.
A group of farmers in Doñihue, Chile, have begun a well-organized search since last Wednesday, after numerous reports
of dead farm animals began to horrify the entire town. According to some villagers, the attacks have been so severe that they
have suffered great financial losses. The animal mutilations believed to be caused by the alleged creature have been over two
hundred, including chickens and bovines.
Cristina Saldía and Carmen Cortés, two of the property owners affected by the financial losses due to the animal mutilations
described the scene.
According to them, their dead chickens were completely dry. "The carcasses appeared to be without a drop of blood in them," they
said. Many villagers believe the "bloody creature" might be hiding in the local vineyards.
Some skeptics, including Veterinarian Jorge Troncoso, say the animal deaths might actually be caused by an epidemic. Others
attribute the deaths to the usual "wild dogs" or mountain lions.
However, when these wild animals attack, they normally consume their prey and not just suck their blood.
There was a particular group of farmers that were found setting up traps for the alleged humanoid creature, and conducting night
search operations. These farmers and hunters say that they were told by some individuals claiming to be "NASA personnel" in the area that they would receive a million dollars if they capture a
chupacabras, dead or alive.
Another similar search operation has been taking place in the
neighbouring country of Argentina, in the city of Rosario. Last
month, Judge Mario Dilascio from the Southern Judicial District of Rosario ordered an intensive police search throughout the
city.
The search began in light of several police reports filed by many of the local residents, many of them claiming of being
attacked by a humanoid creature in the wooded areas of the city. However, this particular creature appeared to be significantly
larger than the one described as the"chupacabras." The alleged
beast appears to be the Argentine version of the Yeti, according to many eyewitness descriptions. All the eyewitness testimonies corroborate. They all mention a strange large creature, about
two meters tall, with long ears, shiny reddish eyes, strong and powerful arms, and hands with long curved fingernails, apparently as sharp as blades.
"We have gathered a great deal of eyewitness testimonies and interviews with people that claim to have seen a large hairy
human-like creature, apparently very ferocious, and capable of attacking human beings," said Police Chief Roque Farías. "The
Province Magistrate has taken charge of the case. He has issued us instructions to conduct two operational phases. Phase one
will basically consist in verifying the truthfulness and validity of these eyewitness claims, as well as the actual existence of the alleged creature.
Phase two will involve the actual search and capture of the animal. We are going to try to capture it alive."
The chief provided additional details of the search operation.
"The search operation would consist of 14 officers from the mounted police. They will search the Rosario River Area, heading
north. Six additional officers will search the neighbouring areas surrounding the city dump, where a family of nearby residents
reported seeing the creature as close as ten meters from their residence. A third patrol car, with four officers will search
the vicinity of Salado Brook, where in mid February a couple was attacked by the alleged beast. Each team will include members of
the Crime Scene Investigative Unit 3, in case any physical evidence, such as tracks, hairs, or fingerprints would require
to be analyzed," said Police Chief Farías. Miami UFO Center has not received any recent updates about this search; therefore it
is not known if the search is still ongoing.
In Cachi, Argentina, several investigators interested in animal mutilations cases have arrived. Some of them, including a few
journalists, are interested in the reports of humanoid sightings. One particular French journalist by the name of Jean
Jacques Mandel is interested in the chupacabras phenomenon. He's an editor for Geo Magazine. Mandel is in the area conducting
interviews and investigations to determine if the reports about humanoid creatures are real, or if they are just the product of
mass hysteria. Mandel has also traveled to India to investigate the sightings of another humanoid creature known as "the monkey
man." |

Update – Chile, Date: July 9th, 2003 Chupacabras
Gets A Beating |
| |
A couple from Vina del Mar went through a horrifying experience after
becoming aware that a strange animal, allegedly the Chupacabras, had
entered into their back yard where it attacked the family's ducks. One
of the ducks suffered a perfect perforation in its spine; the remaining
three animals disappeared.
Most stunning for the protagonists of the event was that they managed to
face see the animal, face it and even strike it repeatedly with a metal
cart. But the intruder managed to escape; it's escape path was not
ascertained. This strange event was recorded early Wednesday (July 9th).
The witnesses were Juan Siliva Torres and Veronica Vildosola, residents
of Las Maravillas street in the town of Santa Julia. Both were hesitant
about disclosing their experience, since they feared they would not be
believed.
Curiously enough, this episode is similar to several other similar ones
recorded in different parts of the area and the country which have been
attributed to the legendary Chupacabras.
Veronica Vildosola states that on the day in question, around 5 a.m.,
she heard strange noises:
"First I heard blows on neighbouring rooftops. It was like something
jumping from one rooftop to another. I suddenly heard something like a
very heavy bird that landed on our roof. It immediately started to
scratch the rooftop with its claws."
Faced with the fear that the animal or bird would attack the ducks kept
in the backyard or the hens in their coops, she woke up her husband so
he could go and take a look.
Juan Silva says:
"Upon going outside, I saw an animal that wasn't a dog in spite of
looking like a dog. It was in a corner, hunched over one of the ducks it
had caught. I got closer, hurling the wrench I held in my hand against
it. But since it didn't move, I began to strike it with the handle of a
metal hand cart that was in the yard. The animal made some strange
sounds, like moans of pain. Had it been a dog, it would have barked and
yelped. But that wasn't the case." Silva adds that the creature "had
very shiny eyes."
His wife added:
"I was holding a stick with which to strike what I thought was a dog.
That's when I saw the critter trying to escape. It did so in a
semi-erect position, as though walking hunched over on two legs. It
looked at me and I also saw its shiny eyes. I don't know if I was
paralyzed out of fear or for another reason."
The couple indicated that neighbouring dogs began to bark like never
before and stated that after realizing that the duck over which the
animal had crouched had a deep hole through which its blood had been
drained. Since the animal was caught in the act, the bird had traces of
blood over its feathers. Reporters from La Estrella saw that the
attacked bird had an orifice 2 centimeters
across; it was a perfect incision, as though created by a precision
instrument. The family noted that three ducks had disappeared. "We found
a wing belonging to one of them, but the other two we couldn't find,
even after going out to the street and looking for it.
But the mysterious creature's escape was also a subject of high
strangeness for the protagonists of this event.
"Later on, we tried to see which way the animal could have escaped, but
we didn't find any point through which it could've crossed. We think it
could have only flown away," said the woman.
They noted that the animal only left some claw marks on the dirt.
"These don't match dog paws either," stated Juan Silva.
Valparaíso, Vina del Mar and Quillota have been the scene for similar
episodes in recent years. No logical explanation has hitherto been found
for them. For this reason, those affected by poultry deaths have
ascribed the attack to the alleged Chupacabras.
Furthermore, the case recorded in Santa Julia coincides in several
aspects with the two latest ones known in Quillota. One of them is that
the creature appears during the early morning hours, jumping from
rooftop to rooftop. The other is that when faced with humans, these
notice strange eye-glow which has even left them paralyzed. |
