          When growing up most kids are taught to be home before dark because of the understandable reasons that their parents taught them early in their childhood, but for other kids, the reasons on why became more like horror stories passed down by their relatives rather than actual normal reasons. In many Spanish-speaking countries the legend of a blood sucking animal like creature is known to hunt at night attacking and feeding on goats and on anything wondering out under the moonlight. El Chupacabra has become one of the most common stories told and passed down from generation to generation to keep the mystery and the fear of what the darkness holds once the sun goes down. I chose this topic because like every other kid born and raised in the Hispanic culture, the fear of El Chupacabra has been in my life since I grew up as a kid in Puerto Rico. I believe that El Chupacabra is a misidentification of an actual animal. I also believe that the story later on became a source of persuading and creating fear for kids to stay inside at night time. As an individual I want to explore beyond the stories told by my relatives and come up with solutions and explanation for the mystery behind the legend of El Chupacabra.
