According to reports, a woman named Madelyne Tolentino is the primary source of the first sighting of the Chupacabre; she is the origin of the myth. Her account of a bipedal, dark eyed, long limbed and spiked animal has since been called into question because her description has an uncanny resemblance to the monster in the movie called ‘Spieces’.
