Chupacabra. Russia

Unknown and inexplicable: A mysterious creature strikes terror into the inhabitants of several Russian regions of Tyumen and Chelyabinsk. A mystical detective in the rural hinterland. An unknown beast strikes terror into the inhabitants of several Russian regions. Farmers are sure that the chupacabra has got into the habit of going to them. Allegedly, this particular vampire from Caribbean mythology attacks pets. People are sure that the creature is distinguished by intelligence and ingenuity. There were even witnesses who saw what a Chupacabra she was.

That morning, says Vladimir Chernov, he will never forget. The man went out to feed the animals and saw a terrible picture. 40 rabbit carcasses, two dead piglets and 17 strangled chickens. Open cages, claw marks on the fence and some noise near the fence…

Vladimir Chernov says that he saw strange creatures similar to huge dogs running out of his yard. And this sight surprised the man even more than the animals themselves. Allegedly, the largest animal first substituted its back with the smaller one, after which it stood on its hind legs and calmly jumped over the fence.

When Vladimir recovered a little from the shock, he had questions: why didn't his dog bark, why didn't the mysterious predators tear up the rabbits and eat the chickens? And, in general, what kind of animals are they?

"I called the police, and the police said so: it was a chupacabra that visited you. This is not the first time I have applied there," says Vladimir Chernov, a resident of the village of Kopytova.

In Tyumen villages today, they are ready to believe in the existence of the chupacabra, a mythical beast that sucks blood from pets. This legend was born in Puerto Rico more than half a century ago.

Exactly what the mysterious creature looks like — no one can say for sure. But the scope for imagination appeared in the artists. What can be seen in popular sketches resembles more the characters of nightmares or horror films. In the memory of Tyumen eyewitnesses, the Chupacabra remained less sinister. She doesn't have spikes on her back or huge evil eyes.

It turned out that uninvited guests over the past few months have attacked animals at least five more farmsteads of nearby villages.

"I wouldn't say they are dogs and I wouldn't say they are wolves! My wife and I went to the door, stood up, and they stood up and looked at us, what are we going to do. Very intelligent animals. I tell you straight out, they will even be smarter than a person," says Alexander Petrov, a resident of the village of Kopytova.

There are also dozens of dead rabbits and claw marks in the village near Chelyabinsk.

"To close the latch, it is necessary to make efforts. To open, exactly the same. Everything was open here. These are not yard dogs. If you look at the tracks, it's just some kind of fighter!" - says Elvira Sheremet, a resident of the village of Starokamyshinsk.

At the scene of the incident, the owners of the rabbits found scraps of wool and traces. After the examination, zoologists and hunters had no doubts: a lynx looked into the yard.

Tyumen policemen don't believe in Chupacabra either. After examining the scene, a protocol was drawn up, where stray dogs were found guilty.

"Most likely, these are abandoned dogs that have strayed away, it is difficult for them to survive in the city, of course, and they all stray to the outskirts of cities," said Dmitry Gushchin, acting investigator of the police department No. 3 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Tyumen.

As a result, the police sent several submissions to the district administration demanding to catch all stray dogs in the district. But most villagers do not believe in the police version and collect evidence of their theories. Like a photo taken by a local sensation hunter. The footprint is similar to a dog's, only much larger and with a long heel, which does not happen with any dogs. Now residents of Tyumen villages have lost sleep, pets are driven under strong locks and bolts, and even high school students are escorted to school in the morning.
