- CALAMA, Chile - Neighbors
have reported yet another chupacabras sighting. The alleged creature appeared
in the middle of the night, making loud noises and waking several people
up. The phenomenon took place in the area of Manuel Rodriguez, in a housing
complex on San Antonio street. "It was not a man; it did not look
like a person. It resembled an ape and it jumped all over the roof. It
passed right in front of my window and then it came back making all kinds
of noise. I didn't want to turn on the light, because I was very afraid
and my windows don't have screens. I was afraid that the animal would
break in. I cannot explain exactly what happened, all I know is I was very
scared", said Maria Gavia, a local daycare employee.
-
- The concern in her words is highly noticeable, in spite
of the fact that twelve hours had passed after her strange experience.
"It was after midnight. Suddenly, I heard loud noises coming from
the roof. That creature went by my window. It jumped a lot. It made very
long jumps, unlike the way a person jumps. Suddenly, I saw my father coming
out of the door on the first floor and the creature jumped. It jumped so
far that it landed on top of the neighbor's house. No person jumps so long
without running and gaining momentum. Then it finally left. I was able
to listen to the neighbor yelling 'there it is, there it is!' It finally
ended up across the street. I knew that because the dogs across the street
began barking and howling. Moments later, there was nothing but silence."

- THE DOGS ACTED STRANGELY
-
- "I have two dogs. My dad says that the creature
could have been in the property long before we heard it because when he
came earlier, the dogs were acting strange. Normally, they come out to
meet him at the entrance, but this time, they did not come to the patio;
he had to call them. One dog seemed scared; it was hiding and it did not
want to move or go anywhere. The other one was nowhere to be found. I had
never seen anything like that, as if it was a monkey that jumped on two
legs and sometimes three. It was about 1.5 meters tall, perhaps even more,
but it was stocky. It made a lot of noise. I could not sleep during the
entire night."
-
- IT LEFT NO TRACE
-
- The young lady's father says the neighbor saw an individual
chasing the creature as it was leaving. Despite all the noise made by the
creature, he checked the sheet metal roof and did not find any dents. He
said that the noise was definitely made by something heavy, but he did
not find any tracks nor trace of it.
-
- The detailed accounts and eyewitness descriptions coincide
with the case that occurred on April of 2001, when local residents formed
a neighborhood watch to protect the livestock that was being attacked by
the alleged creature. During those attacks, they mentioned seeing a similar
creature, a Chupacabras, an animal, or perhaps an alien being capable of
making long jumps using two or three legs. The farmers also mentioned how
their dogs, which were normally mean and would not hesitate to attack strangers,
were afraid and would rather hide from the creature instead of attacking
it.
-
- Another similarity was how the creature is afraid of
the light. Last year, they reported seeing it getting away as they turned
on the lights. This time, the creature appeared to behave in the same manner.
When the young girl and her father turned on the lights, the creature left
immediately.
-
-
- In the year 2000, the Chupacabras seemed to attack in
areas with a notable presence of docile domestic animals to obtain what
appeared to be their blood. The animals included chickens, rabbits, lambs,
cats and even some horses in different parts of Calama. Last Thursday night,
it was on top of the roofs of houses adjacent to another property where
animals are raised. It did not harm any of the farm animals, but it left
fear among local residents.
