Blog 2:Background
The stories of El Chupacabra
(which translate to “goat-sucker”) first surface in March of 1995 on the island
of Puerto Rico located in the Caribbean Ocean. The stories began when the
bodies of goats and other livestock started to appear drained of blood with
two puncture holes around their neck. At first residents began to suspect that
is was all part of satanic groups performing rituals, but as more stories began
to surface around the entire island, the residents came to realize that it was
more than satanic acts. Later that year in August, a magazine published the
description of the creature made by an eyewitness named Madelyne Tolentin. According
to Tolentin, the creature is “ 4 to 5 feet tall with spikes
down its back, long, thin arms and legs, and an alien like oblong head with red
or black eyes”. Shortly after the description was published different sightings
of the creature began to surface around in places such as Mexico, Latin America,
and some parts of the United States. It is believed that this legend expanded to
other countries around the world due to the introduction and the starting
period of the Internet. Today, the sighting of the creature keep occurring
all across the world, but the description of El Chupacrabra has changed.
According to recent eyewitness, El Chupacabra is “a hairless, snarly-looking
four-legged creature”. The legend of El Chupacabra is told in many ways but its
origin and background should be the most important story told and passed down
from generation to generation.
