Chupacabra

Most people believe “El Chupacabra” is a myth while others don't. Although many have claimed that they have seen it, they don’t have proof. It may just be some stray dog, or canine-type creature. One of the pieces of evidence goes something like this "It can change colors at will, has a hairy, reptilian body with spines all along its back and an obsession with blood. El Chupacabra translated into English means "the goat-sucker," because that's exactly what it does. El Chupacabra made its first appearance in the farmlands of Puerto Rico where it left tons of goats dead. All of the goats had been left fully intact, but were drained of all their blood." (Achilles paragraph 1). The description of it describes a small, hairy, reptilian body with…

furtive and cryptic background behind every fiend. With this, the finding of the chupacabra was a remarkable discovery in the Caribbean and an unbelievable recovery for past agriculturists. With these results, the chupacabra was sighted in various locations with immense evidence from DNA samples to puncture wounds, and complete loss of blood of livestock. In fact, this discovery could be mistaken for the alligator, or the Elmendorf, which have the characteristics of a chupacabra description. The…

stories, like all stories of legend, start somewhere. The legend of the Chupacabra comes from Latin cultures, mainly Puerto Rico, where it was first sited back in 1955 by locals. The locals were experiencing strange live stock mutilations mostly goats found with all their blood drained. In the 1970’s people all over South America started experiencing this same vampiric style killings of their live stalk and people began to see the creature in these areas. The stories, mutilations, and sightings…

Locked in a psych ward for who knows how long now, they pinned all of their deaths on me… Dad slayed his fair share after the divorce so at first glance nothing about her moved me either direction. Soon after her status upgraded to “step-mom” I felt compelled to move. Fall hit, picturesque as per usual: burnt orange leaves and pumpkins, kids tossin’ the footie on suburban Texas front lawns in the early evening air. Little third grade neighborhood roughian ain’t exactly Roger Staubach, you know…

support information about the Chupacabra through critical thinking, the evidence about the creature must be comprehensive. order to reasonably analyze evidence of the Chupacabra or an attack from one, you must recognise the possibilities of it not being a Chupacabra. To consider any slightly odd killing of a farm animal to be a Chupacabra attack would be unreasonable and senseless. Many different animals are capable of killing goats, sheep, or chickens. To recognise a dead animal as being…

Chupacabra What is a Chupacabra? “[A Chupacabra] is a legendary creature in the folklore of parts of the Americas, with its first purported sightings reported in Puerto Rico” (Wikipedia). There are people who believe it is real and others who believe it's just a myth.

The first reason why the Chupacabra is real is because…

Tracking the Chupacabra by Benjamin Radford still intrigues the typical mindset of our society today. His two chapters, "A brief History of Vampires" and "Chupacabra in Pop Culture", establish the foundation of Puerto Rico and other Spanish peaking countries superstitions and while indefinitely, inscribing the significant background of its vampiric roots and the impact it has in our culture. Radford's work is extremely fascinating, to not only describe the encounters of the Chupacabra in its…

Arts Emerson and Ma-Yi Theater Company’s showing of The Wong Kids In The Secret of The Space Chupacabra Go! on the Paramount Main Stage is the best example of children’s entertainment that is equally engaging to an adult audience. Although I went into the show thinking that it may be too childish for me to enjoy, all of my expectations were quickly expelled as soon as the show started. It was an extremely entertaining piece of theatre, and it was disappointing how empty the seats were. The…

most popular legends would be those of El Chupacabra and La Llorona, which are not only known by those of hispanic heritage, but internationally as well. The majority of these legends have been around for centuries but as the years have gone by, they have turned into cautionary tales and lessons for the younger generations. These descriptions are not meant to prove the existence of the supernatural beings and cryptics, but to showcase the legends that permeate the Hispanic/Latino culture. La…
