More chupacabras

Noticed on Channel Zero another purported chupacabras found, but it looked like just another mangy canid of some sort. There was also a sighting on the border, where they have more inclination to believe. There was a great chupacabras outbreak while I was living in EP. From the World's Worst Newspaper:
The Chupacabras craze was biggest in El Paso in 1995, when T-shirts with images of the goat-sucker, based on "witness accounts," were hot items.
Chupacabras stories made the rounds in El Paso-Juárez that year, but one story stood out. A woman in the Juárez area told reporters that she was bitten by the creature on her neck. Her claim was debunked later as a ploy to divert attention from a lover's hickey and her supposed marital infidelity.

They were selling those T-shirts on the international bridges; I'm sorry I didn't get one. One person's hickey is another person's evidence of a cryptzoological manifestation. Read all the latest one here.

This video was worth watching just to see the words "the mystery continues" disappear at the end! xo Kari

The Deputy from Dewitt County who captured one on his cruiser's dashcam is working for Port Lavaca PD now. We never miss an opportunity to needle him about it. Thanks for more ammunition. :)

Bill may be a heretofore unknown beast, a different breed of cat.
