          meat on the windowsill. It had hairy arms and huge red eyes.

          Resident saw it one afternoon in his back yard when it came

          to the monkey family, but it isn't a monkey exactly," he

          Thur May 2
          Juarez Mexico
          Many small mammels, dogs, etc. have met with this tall
          "animal"-like being with three toed feet and hands, on haunches
          with the fore arms suspended at chest level
          very similar to a kangaroo. It has a row of spikes or
          straight feather like projections from it's head and
          down it's back that raise and lower and have been seen to
          glow with their own light. Has been seen to take off on
          all fours. The "sucking " device seems to be a tube like
          projection from the mouth.

          Thur May 2 1996
          Mexico and Miami
          Attacks are becoming more distributed. Wounds resemble 1/4"
          holes similar to a biopsy puncture that extend completely
          through muscle tissue and in at least one instance the wounds
          were discovered pronouncedly through the inner tissue without
          leaving any wound traces on the surface layer skin.

          May 3 1996
          Calderon Village Sinaloa, Northern Mexico.
          A giant bat-like creature terrorizes a village. Goats are found
          daily with their blood sucked dry, witnesses
          said today. Farmers have formed night vigilante squads.
          "We are telling people to keep the women and children
          locked up inside at night" a villager said, "Nobody knows
          really what it is." Dozens of goats have fallen victim to
          the bloodsucker. It has allegedly attacked one human.

          Fri May 3
          Mexican State of Sonora - Veracruz and Agua Prieta.

          a human suffering the same fate.

          Fri May 3 Sinaloa State, the state below Sonora State.
          Dead cows and sheep. The animal(s) is described as 1-1.5 feet

          red eyes, and a row of spines from the skullcap and down
          the back. The creature "mumbled and gestured".

          May 9 1996 5-5.3O a.m. - dawn
          A seven year old boy in the same house said the creature
          stood on his bed and briefly on his chest. Both the older
          and younger Espinoza family members described a smell
          "like a wet dog."

          May 10 1996

          Wed May 12Mexico's southern state of Chiapas
          28 dead rams found with puncture marks
          ----------------------------------------NOTES--------------------

          "The world's 3 species of blood-sucking bats live predominantly
          in the warm climates of Latin America. Similar recent cases have
          emerged from Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and El Salvador."

          "Puerto Rico harbors a number of military animal research
          laboratories."

          "Seeing either the creature or moving lights in the sky has led
          to speculation that the chupacabras might be from outer space."

          "The New Jersey Devil adheres to descriptions of physical
          appearence as well as the nature of the wounds. Puncture wounds
          are often left resembling the classic vampire bite."
          "Very large, slanted, glowing red eyes. Face is flat, perhaps
          simian-like, body some say is covered with spotted skin "like a
          frog's" or has "spikes on its head and back" with "chicken legs"
          that have a 3-toed foot about six inches long. Such tracks have
          been found and photographed in dirt near dead animals. This
          creature has been seen to hop, or fly, from the ground to a
          tree or from trees to the ground."

          "It attacks so fast, everything from horses to sheep. It sucks out
          the blood completely."

          There is a body of thought that the bats properly belong in the
          primate family. If so then these dudes are our rellies. Note that
          humans are the easiest of prey compared to goats and other
          animals yet there is no evidence they have hurt anyone. Also note
          the similarities with spring heeled jack, jack the
          ripper and the "devil" of the 15th-17th century that may have
          sparked the witchunts. Hmmm. There'll be some red Christian
          faces if this turns out to be so.
