Abandoned gold mines that date from the 1950s in Chile could
be harboring chupacabras that have a kangaroo-shaped body
and a muzzle that resembles a wolf. They are fearless and
attack local livestock and wild animals.
Héctor Cossio writes, in an article translated by Scott
Corrales, that two bus drivers came across one of the
creatures, after hearing legends about them living in the
abandoned mines. One of them, Aníbal Montes,
says, "Shadows can be seen running uphill, vanishing into
the mine and disappearing. But this is nothing new. It's been
going on for many years."
Radio host Cristián Opazo reports that 3 yeas ago he saw a
pile of dead rabbits that had been killed by an unknown
animal in the area. He says, "They had been sucked out.
There were no signs of violence except for a hole, like that of
a tooth, on the right side of the neck." Chupacabras are
known as "goat suckers."
Chickens and ducks have been found killed by the same
method. Cryptozoologist Alberto Urquijo says the earliest
literature describing chupacabras dates back to the late 18th
century. "Out of all of the cases we've looked into, 40% can
be ascribed to known animals, but the remaining 60%
cannot," he says. "We figure that in three years at least 5500
animals have died in mysterious circumstances."
In a spectacular display of willful ignorance, big media
recently announced that
Bigfoot doesn't exist. In this fascinating, fun book, Loren
Coleman shows that it just isn't true. There's plenty of
evidence, and the media should be ashamed of itself.
