Chicken deaths near Horizon City spark talk of Chupacabras

Well it would appear that the real Chupacabras is back(not some dog with mange).

HORIZON CITY -- The legend may be back, just as mysterious and dark, to stalk the unsuspecting. Until last weekend, Cesar Garcia and brother-in-law Juan Miranda saw their life near Horizon City as secluded and peaceful. They moved to the area from Chicago three years ago, but have suddenly been beset by strange and unexplained occurrences. Their rabbits went into hiding, their cat spent the weekend on the roof of their house, their roosters didn't crow, and their dogs didn't bark. And at least 30 of their chickens were killed by an unknown interloper. The brothers are hesitant to say what they think spooked their animals or killed their chickens. But when pressed, they said it: El Chupacabras.

"If it had been a dog, there would have been blood everywhere because a dog tears Cesar Garcia took photos of the tracks left by whatever killed his chickens.

"We looked it up on the Internet -- the Chupacabras," he said.

What else could it be?

we had our own local story.

Chupacabra strikes in border town

Thirty dead chickens and not a drop of blood have a lot of people in West Texas talking about a possible chupacabra attack, even though scientists say the creature doesn't exist.

A man in Horizon City, Texas—near El Paso—believes a chupacabra killed 20 of his chickens one morning, and ten more the next day.

I lived temporarily on a small farm which a friend of mine owns. He had about 25 chickens and they were all slaughtered in one night. Not a drop of blood but feathers everywhere in the barn. All chickens were gone except one. We found several dead chickens buried in the field next to the barn.

It was a real horror to wake up like that, but it was just a fox.
