I've always heard stories about the chupacabra from my Grandfather. The Chupacabra as a lot of people know, is described as a blood sucking alien vampire who attacks livestock. Sightings dated back to around 1970, and seen in places like Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Texas. My Grandfather, was the first in our family to see the chupacabra first hand in our farm in Texas. What he described was the generic description for most Chupacabra sightings. A humanoid creature about 4 to 5 feet tall, gray skin tone, two small arms, red beady eyes, and spike like appendages running through the head to the end of it's back. Our farm has lost a lot of farm animals because of the creature. My father was murdered in a recent Chupacabra attack one night, when he was trying to shoot whatever was out there attacking the livestock. After losing my dad, my mother became very insecure about living on the farm. She didn't want to lose another family member and wanted to abandon that life to go live in the suburbs. I personally objected to the very idea. I didn't want to abandon my life here in the farm. I tried to convince my mother to re-consider, and that we could tackle whatever was out there attacking the farm animals, but she had made it very clear that she didn't want me getting involved with whatever was out there. I later hitched up a plan to secretly go out one night hunting for this creature Before my dad died, he taught me how to use a rifle. It took me a long time to get a hang of it, but it was worth it in the end, and I was about to utilize those skills to hunt whatever was out there I brought my friend Tom along in case I needed any back up killing this thing. We both brought out our 42-inch rifle, and two walky talkies to keep in touch with each other. This thing normally came out at around 9:30 PM near the hen house, so me and Tom both hid in the shadows.
