There are several legends or just stories regarding monsters that we have known since we were children and they have frightened us since we were young into our early teenage years.

Davis believes that the story was made of pure fear and humor among the Latin community (Davis 46). Davis explains the many theories that were created regarding the Chupacabra monster, he explains how there was a witness that may have actually seen the creature and described him as “just like the Devil four or five feet tall with red eyes and a hideous forked tongue” (Davis 48).

There was even another crazy theory about the monster “In Puerto Rico, there had bee intense speculation that the chupacabra was a mascot or pet left behind by extraterrestrial visitors; now, according to Mexican UFO experts, there was proof that the chupacabra was E.T. himself” (Davis 48). On the other hand, the Mexican people thought that the Chupacabra was a representation of how the president of Mexico Carlos Salinas and how he “sucked the blood out of the country” (Davis 48).
