Chupacabra – Do They Exist?
Two cops in Texas thought they may have seen the elusive Chupacabra while training last week. Check out the article:
DeWITT COUNTY, Texas — The legend of the chupacabra gained new life over the weekend as two DeWitt County sheriff’s deputies spotted what they said they believe is the mythical creature.
Friday, Cpl. Brandon Riedel was training a new deputy when he said they saw the animal running down a dirt path along fence lines.
“You need to record something like this because it’s not everyday you find something that looks like this running around out in the middle of the county,” he said.
The short-legged, hairless animal has a long snout that looks like a coyote, but Riedel said he isn’t convinced.
“You know, it’s just kind of one of those things to hear about and talk about, but to actually see something on video that may actually be a live one, that’s pretty amazing,” DeWitt County Sheriff Jode Zavesky said.
Friday’s sighting isn’t the first time a local believes they’ve seen the mythical animal. A rancher in 2007 found a dead animal that was thought to be a chupacabra, but one resident said whether or not it’s true, it can only benefit the community.
“It’s like every good urban legend,” Erik McCowan said. “Maybe it’s better to just think it is the chupacabra and just leave it at that.”

Yes Cassie, it was very random. I guess it is a bit of a Ca2Pr joke:
When I first started working on the house with no power or water, life was a little bit rougher. For some reason, electricity really provides a security blanket for me, so at night, I would lock the house up. There is some sort of Turkey or something down here, that makes the most god awful screeching noise that would run or fly by the house (I never saw one) prompting me to hop out of bed and run to the windows to try to see what the evil noise was coming from.
I never saw what it was, but Summer and I swear it must have been the mighty elusive Chupacabra. Hence, my reporting of a recent Chupacabra sighting.

There was a great X-Files episode about the Chupacabra years ago. Unfortunately the latest XF movie isn’t as good.
As long as you don’t keep goats you and Summer should be fine. I wonder what the Spanish for “mini-donkey-sucker” is?

Stefan, I know all about weird noise coming from the valley below our house. I have never heard such weird noise at night time, I thought I had some wild turkeys but someone told me about the screeching owl! But it did keep me up many of a night.

A couple years ago i went down to my barn and saw something that looked like a naked coyote or dog. It had really sharp teeth and had no hair. the legs where half decayed looking but then again the whole monster looked like it was dead for while. It was wrinkle and probably weighed about 6 pounds and it had red eyes that where open. It was really creepy and immediatly thought it was a Chupa Carba. We left it there and the next day it was gone… either it wasn’t dead because we started at it from a long ways away or something ate it. It was weird because it just showed up one day and when i was down at the barn in the morning it wasn’t there but it was there at night. CREEPY!!!

Chupacabra comes from the Spanish words chupar, meaning “to suck”, and cabra, meaning “goat”; literally “goat sucker”, also called El Chupacabras in Spanish, it is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas.
