Blost Post 3: Stories


   Most of the stories regarding El Chupacabra are extremely similar to each other. Some are as identical as they can get and others are a bit too strange for anybody to believe. Most of the stories start out by eyewitnesses reporting missing livestock or finding them drained of blood. In each sighting there is little to no evidence found, which created the buzz regarding the existence of El Chupacabra. Stories go back to the mid-1900s when the first sightings of El Chupacabra occurred in Puerto Rico. Since then sighting all across South America, Mexico, the United States, and even some areas around the world have had their share of stories.


 According to the article written by Stephen Wagner, the first story ever told about El Chupacabra was in March of 1995 on the island of Puerto Rico, when eight sheep were discovered dead and drained of blood completely. At first the people of the town believed that the sighting was of a normal animal feeding on livestock, but when investigators notice several abnormalities with each killing, the legend of El Chupacabra began. A year later in 1996 sighting of El Chupacrabra reached the United States for the first time. The incident occurred in a rural area northwest of Miami, Florida. Reports suggest that more than forty animal where found dead and drained of blood throughout the area. Expert can’t explain such phenomenon, but they hope that they can get enough evidence in the future throughout all the different sighting occurring constantly.
