- Two of the young teenagers, Jean F. and Nelson C, who
are residents of one of the parcels of the central area of Villa San Rafael,
described a chilling experience that they went through last Saturday, 12
of January of this year (2002) at approximately 11:45 PM.
-
- It all began when Jean noticed that his pet snake escaped
from its cage. His friend Nelson noticed it was gone, so they began looking
for it outside among the rubble of the parcel. They recall how half an
hour before, their two dogs strangely began to howl and cry; however, it
did not seem to be important at that point in time.
-
- They searched for the pet snake together when suddenly,
at about 30 meters from where they stood, they saw what appeared to be
a stray dog. They immediately picked up rocks to throw at it to avoid an
attack. However, to their surprise, the animal stood there, motionless
and fearless; it did not get scared nor it ran away as ordinary dogs normally
do.
-
- Shortly afterwards, the strange animal began to move
towards them. The movements it made as it walked were very strange. It
used two legs at a time. It made very small and short leaps like a rabbit.
Suddenly, it stopped and it stood up on two legs.
-
- The teenagers then began to feel some
kind of energy. "It was like an electrical shock in the stomach,"
they said. It later walked again (upright) making a loud dragging noise,
making small leaps and only moving one of its legs. They thought that it
might have been hurt after they threw rocks at it. They noticed the weird
shape of the animal. "It was like a rugby football with legs,"
one of them said.
-
- Jean began to feel frightened and started to move away
from the animal. On the other hand, Nelson felt a strange need to get closer
to creature; he got as close as 2 meters away from it. The animal appeared
to emit a strange luminosity that apparently, was bright enough to light
a small area around the animal in spite of the nighttime darkness of the
place.
-
- Nelson was mesmerized as he stared at such strange-looking
animal. He remembers a detailed description of it. According to him, its
head was like the one of a large dog and it had a flat nose like a bulldog.
Its eyes were slanted and pale-red in color, which could only be seen when
the creature turned its head from side to side like small lizards do. At
that moment, Nelson claims that he heard a voice in his head saying, "Don't
stare, just run away."
-
- They provided further descriptions of the alleged animal.
Its ears were flat, round and large. Its arms were short, they had elbows
and the hands had three fingers. It had hair like the one on a wild pig.
Its legs were like the ones from a goat. The feet had also three fingers
and a membrane like ducks, but somewhat shorter. He does not recall seeing
nails because the grass was covering the tip of the fingers.
-
- On its curved back, they were able to
notice a spinal section covered with amounts of even thicker hair. According
to the teenagers, the "thicker" hairs grew in small separated
sections or groups down the spinal area and they pointed downwards. Most
of the hair of the animal was gray, but the tail had a white tip. The tail
appeared to be three times thicker than the one on a dog but it was very
short; it was about 5 centimeters in length.
-
-
- Nelson finally fled, terrified, from the area. He also
described how he felt an inexplicable bone-chilling cold sensation. Finally,
the teens returned home and did not want to go back to take a second look
at the creature. These testimonies were taken separately from the teenagers,
and yet, both accounts concurred entirely.

Ferrer's work is mentioned in the book "Mothman and Other Curious
Encounters" by criptozoologist Loren Coleman.
