When it comes to Chupacabra sightings, witnesses have described the appearance of the mystery creature in many different ways. Many describe it to be a reptile that has scaly skin that is green and gray. These individuals nearly always state that it has what looks like sharp quills that extend down the length of its back. It is believed that the average size of the creature is three to four feet. It typically stands and is believed to hop a bit when moving from one area to another. Many claim that the mystery animal has devilish red, glowing eyes and it emits a vicious screech. It is said that the fangs and claws of the animal allows it to drain the blood and other parts of the prey’s body through very small holes that it creates in the animals that it attacks. There is no absolute evidence that this mystery creature exists, but many from around the world have personally contributed their stories as far as Chupacabra sightings are concerned. Legend or an actual being? This remains to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries to date.

It is important to understand that similar events had taken place prior to the year of 1995. There were reports in the year of 1975 that many animals were murdered in a similar fashion in the town called "Moca". At first, the citizens believed that those involved in a satanic based cult committed the hideous crimes. However, it was eventually rumored that "The Vampire of Moca" or the "El Vampiro de Moca" was to blame. This, too, was a creature that was somewhat of a legend in the area. Today, it is believed that "The Vampire of Moca" is actually the "Chupacabra". Many countries in the world have actually reported Chupacabra sightings and incidents that they believe the mystery creature is responsible for. Examples of these countries include Argentina, Chile, Panama, Peru, and several others.

The Bigfoot Mystery

The Bigfoot mystery is considered to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries when it comes to cryptozoology.

Many individuals have questioned the existence of this mystery creature throughout history.

Based on the eyewitness accounts of this popular creature, the descriptions associated with the animal are similar with only minuscule changes. The animal is said to be relatively tall. It is estimated that the creature stands between six feet and ten feet in height. The animal is said to be covered in fur. In some instances, this fur is described as being "brown", in other cases, it is said to be "black". There have been a few instances in which the animal has been said to possess fur that is actually "red" in color. Out of all cases that have been reported, it is quite common to hear the witness state that there was a foul odor emitted in the air.

The head of Bigfoot is said to be a round shape that reflects that of conical based circumference. The ridge of the bow is said to be extremely pronounced and distinct. If you were to compare this mystery creature to a known creature, you would likely find that it resembles that of a gorilla. In all cases, the creature has not only been described as being tall, but is also considered to be extremely heavy as well. This creature is said to measure in at approximately five hundred pounds. When evaluating the footprints of the assumed Bigfoot, you will see that they are quite large. Many only show two or three toe indentations, but others show five toe indentations. This leads researchers to conclude that there could be more than one species of the mystery creature.

Chupacabra Sightings

There have been numerous Chupacabra sightings throughout history.

The name "Chupacabra" is a Spanish word, which basically means "Goat Sucker". This creature is believed to inhabit various sections of the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The mystery creature was given the name "Chupacabra" due to the fact that witnesses have stated that the animal attacks and then consumes the blood of livestock farm animals. This creature seems to prefer goats among all the farm animals that it indulges in.

EloraM23 2011/08/21 06:34
Chupacabra sightings were first reported in Puerto Rico in the month of March of 1995. An attack occurred in which eight individual sheep were discovered dead. Each of the animals had a total of three unique puncture wounds in the area of the chest. The most ironic characteristic of the massive attack was that there was absolutely no blood left in any of the sheep. It appeared as if they had been drained of it, though there were only small traces of blood around the animals. In August of 1995, an individual by the name of Madelyne Tolentino reported that they observed the mystery creature in the town called "Canovanas" which is located in Puerto Rico. In that attack, it was estimated that an assortment of approximately one hundred and fifty different livestock farm animals were killed.

The Dover Demon Mystery Creature


"We have a credible case, over 25 hours, by individuals who saw something. "
~Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman

EloraM23 2011/08/21 06:36
The Dover Demon mystery creature has been considered one of the most famous cryptozoology cases of Massachusetts since the year of 1977. This creature was originally spotted by a group of teenage males as they drove along a road in Norfolk County, Massachusetts called Farm Street. The driver of the vehicle was Bill Bartlett. It was a dark night as the boys made their way to their destination when suddenly the headlights of the vehicle allowed them to catch a glimpse of a relatively odd looking animal. Their first explanation was that it was a type of domestic animal. However, as they got closer to the proximity of the creature, they realized that it was something that they had never witnessed before. Throughout this cryptozoology guide, you will learn several facts pertaining to the case of the Dover Demon mystery creature

Physical Characteristics


The teenage boys that spotted this creature found themselves absolutely fascinated by its overall appearance. They were thoroughly convinced that they were seeing something that was truly not of the world that they had grown in. As they watched the animal, they took note of the characteristics that it possessed. First, they noticed that the head of the mystery creature was quite large. It was so large, in fact, that it was disproportionate to the rest of its body. The head was oval shaped and the eyes glowed in an eerie orange and appeared to be glass-like in nature. The skin of the creature was void of all hair and had a rough appearance. The arms as well as the legs of the mystery creature were long and described as being thin by the teenagers.

Nearly immediately, the teenagers noticed that they could not specify any type of nose, nor could they identify ears on the creature. As a matter of fact, the Dover Demon did not even appear to have a mouth. As time progressed, more and more people claimed to have witnessed the same creature that the teenage boys that night. As more people made claims that something unusual was in and around the Dover, Massachusetts area, the stories regarding the animal’s physical appearance changed. Many, for example, claimed that the eyes were illuminated in green. Many claimed that the skin was smooth and tan in color. However, all witnesses claimed the same on the ears, the nose, and the mouth – that there were no visible sign of any. Additionally, all claimed that they could not tell if the Dover Demon was a male or female.

The Investigation


As more and more eye witness accounts started to occur, an investigation was conducted by various types of specialists. The Cryptozoologist that initially handled the case was the first person to actually identify the creature as the “Dover Demon”. This individual’s name was Loren Coleman. Once this specialist was able to spend a little time observing the witness accounts of the creature, three individuals that specialized in UFO studies in the area were brought in. This was an attempt to determine if the creature was considered to be an alien life form. Many theories started to abound concerning the identity of the animal.

The Theories


The investigators that spent time researching the Dover Demon developed many theories on what the animal could be. Of course, one of the first theories was that it was an alien. However, the possibility that it could have been an experiment that failed or escaped from a testing site was also considered. Then, theories started to abound that it could be possible that the creature was able to reach its location through the means of a warp from an alternative dimension. All of the witnesses to this particular creature were under the age of eighteen and many believe that it could have simply been a hoax. To this day, there have been no conclusions concerning the identity of the Dover Demon. This will continue to be considered one of the world’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

In the month of May in the year of 1955, a professional man in business observed this strange creature underneath a bridge located near the city of Loveland. The strange thing about the situation was that there were several more of these creatures alongside the first Loveland frog that was observed. When he saw the creatures, one of them held up a device that looked like a bar. When he did, sparks were emitted from it. Individuals in the area reported smelling the unusual combination of both almonds and natural alfalfa immediately following the witness accounts of the creatures.
EloraM23 2011/08/21 06:39
Once the witness accounts were issued in the year of 1955, no other reports were issued on the subject until the month of March in the year of 1972. Local law enforcement officers apparently observed the creature hop right over a rail and into the body of water referred to as the "Little Miami River". Reports were made, but no further observation occurred for a two week period. A police officer observed the strange frog in a road that he was patrolling at the time. He made an attempt to kill it with his duty weapon, but was unsuccessful. Later, in the same month, a local and reputable farmer observed the Loveland frog

Many accounts have been made surrounding this unusual creature. The sightings have often been rationalized as being a pet that grew too large and was allowed out into the wild for its survival. Many claim that it could potentially be an extraterrestrial being. There are many that believe that no such observations were made at all. Despite whether or not the human like frog is actually out there remains to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the area of cryptozoology.
