Texas L.O.W.F.I

Posts Tagged ‘Chupacabras’

Jon Downes and his wife Corinna of the Centre for Fortean Zoology will be visiting Texas next month.

They will be joining Richie and Naomi West in an investigation of what CFZ terms “Texas Blue Dogs” – what the mainstream media and local folks often call Chupacabras.

RICHIE AND NAOMI WEST: CFZ EXPEDITION TO TEXAS

…

A woman in southeast Texas has discovered a small family of hairless canines (referred by the CFZ as the Texas Blue dog) living behind her back yard. She has been feeding them and wants the CFZ to film them.

Naomi and I will be going down to that location next week to install day/night video cameras to film these creatures in action.

When Jon and Corinna arrive, we will be going there to further investigate them. The word from the family who discovered these creatures is that they have very unusual habits not normally associated with canines. Jon and Corinna will be accompanied for part of their trip by a team from a London TV Company who are following the CFZ for 8 months for a feature documentary for BBC2 and will be including the blue dog research in their documentary. We are excited as this will be a big story in the Fortean world. This picture was taken of the creature by the woman in southeast Texas.

Jon is planning to make a few appearances at local MUFON groups.

Chicken deaths near Horizon City spark talk of Chupacabras

HORIZON CITY — The legend may be back, just as mysterious and dark, to stalk the unsuspecting.

Until last weekend, Cesar Garcia and brother-in-law Juan Miranda saw their life near Horizon City as secluded and peaceful.

They moved to the area from Chicago three years ago, but have suddenly been beset by strange and unexplained occurrences.

Their rabbits went into hiding, their cat spent the weekend on the roof of their house, their roosters didn’t crow, and their dogs didn’t bark.

And at least 30 of their chickens were killed by an unknown interloper.

The brothers are hesitant to say what they think spooked their animals or killed their chickens.

But when pressed, they said it: El Chupacabras.
