El Chupacabra Legend: Absurd?

The legend of the El chupacabra is it just another tale told by the fire, or does it contain fact???

For many years, the Mexican legend of the Chupacabras, a Spanish word for “goat sucker,” was thought only to be folklore.  Who would actually believe that a large four-foot tall creature, possibly from another world, would hunt livestock just to drink their blood?   The myth of the Chupacabras seemed  absurd.

However, in December of 1994, on the island of Puerto Rico, the age-old fable of the Chupacabras became a reality.  Animals were found dead and mutilated.  Villagers discovered cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, and ducks, with their corpses drained of blood.   Punctures marks ¼” to ½” in diameter were dug into the tissue of the animal’s head, piercing their brains.  Soon afterward, similar attacks were reported throughout South America and Mexico.

Along  with the increasing animal mutilations, sightings of the actual creatures themselves were reported.  Many eyewitnesses claimed that they saw what looked like a “Grey” alien.
