Joe Nickell Investigates: Attack of the Chupacabra

[Josh111485]

Both this video and the first "Joe Nickell Investigates" video have a problem. The audio is out of sync on both of them. Could that be fixed?

Did the chupacabra in missouri attack animals the same way the chupacabra attacked animals in Puerto Rico. The puerto Rico Chupacabra drained the animals of there blood in a humanly way without leaving no evidence basicly. The first report was a goat that was drained of blood and thats how it got the name goat sucker.

@dogcatmouse23 And how many of those "blood sucking" cases were verified? I'm guessing none. It's amazing how a "fact" will be repeated endlessly without anyone apparently bothering to check it. I've asked for pictures of these "bloodless" corpses on various message boards, and all the pictures I've been sent either show blood on the ground (in which case it wasn't sucked), or show animals that have clearly been decomposed. Like UFO cattle mutilations, it's really a non-mystery.

I wish they'd give this man a show, but they still put crappy ghost hunting shows on that have idiots stumbling around in the dark.

Chupacabra? Nope, Chuck Testa.

Mocca vampire? Drinks a lot of coffee I guess :)

What I love and respect about Joe Nickell is that he actually gets off his bottom and goes out to all sorts of locations and honestly investigates his cases. An armchair skeptic he is not. IMO, Joe is truly a living legend, and the skeptic community is deeply indebted to him. Thankyou CFI for the upload, and thankyou Joe for doing what you do so well.

What I wanna know is, when did the cryptozoological community (seemingly as a whole) decide that the Chupacabra was something completely different than a spiky, upright-walking monster. These mangy coyote Chupacabras are getting really tiresome. I can't even imagine a city dweller with no experience with coyotes or feral dogs not being able to identify this thing immediately.

@jussts Seems to me that people are still afraid of the dark and what people can't see their minds invent. So in the middle of the night they shoot some scary "monster" and then in the light of the next day it turns out to be a starving mangy mutt.. In the end these dead dogs are the only evidence of a "goat-sucker" that cryptoz find, which would indicate the "eye witness" was mistaken in the first place.

thanks for the post

That's not the Chupacabra! This is : watch?v=BMzSvpyFTdA

[andrewc2768]

chupacabra or not, it would be scary to have to shoot that thing outside your house at night.

[LonesomeTroubadour]

What's curious is the woman that first reported the Chupacabra described a creature that is quite different from this supposed Chupacabra. The one the aforementioned woman described was bipedal and had huge eyes.

@LonesomeTroubadour And people don't exaggerate?

[LonesomeTroubadour]

@chazcov08 Well, it's more like when something doesn't exist, it can pretty much look like anything.

[chazcov08]

@LonesomeTroubadour True that!

I took one look ay the carcass hanging from the tree and knew it was a coyote, but then I've had a lot of experience with coyotes...

Awesome :) Keep up the good work!
