> CHUPACABRAS ATTACK
> RANCHES IN ARGENTINA
>
> Chupacabra attacks were reported in two areas
> of Argentina during June.
> The first attack was at the La Fuegina ranch,
> located 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Porvenir, a
> small city in the extreme south of Argentina.
> Porvenir is on the island of Tierra del Fuego about
> 1,300 kilometers (780 miles) south of Buenos Aires,
> the national capital.
> "Over 100 dead animals and dozens wounded
> were found on Tierra del Fuego in recent days."
> "The discovery was made by rancher Jose
> Levill Rios, who said the dead and dying sheep were
> found 15 kilometers from Porvenir, showing signs of
> having been attacked by some kind of animal. The
> strange thing about this case was that the animal
> produced no traces which pointed to the presence of
> dogs, foxes or game."
> "'Furthermore,' Levill added, 'it is unlikely that one
> of these animals may have done so massive an
> attack in such little time.'"
> "Knowledge of the situation came about on
> June 6, 2000 when the watchman of the La Fuegina
> ranch engaged in his customary reconnoitering of the
> premises in the early morning hours and came across
> 100 animals, 60 of them dead scattered across the
> range."
> This was the second mysterious mass death of
> sheep on Tierra del Fuego in a year. In July 1999,
> "forty dead sheep were found in barrio San Antonio
> near the Fuentes Martines Airport. First they found 24
> of them, and six turned up later in very bad shape."
> Autopsies of the slain sheep were ordered by
> Julio Gomez, regional director of the Servicio
> Agricola y Ganado or SAG (Argentina's Agricultural
> and Livestock Service--J.T.)
> "Gomex added that he heard of the situation
> through third parties, and that (two other) cattle
> ranchers, Atilio Calcutta and Marino Mimica, who
> claimed having lost 22 and 4 animals respectively,
> had asked him to investigate."
> "In Julio Gomez's opinion, the surprising sheep
> deaths were exclusively due to the actions of wild
> dog packs which wander around Porvenir in large
> numbers and stray from the urban perimeter in
> search of food."
> (Editor's Comment: If this sounds familiar, read last
> month's issues of UFO Roundup and the government
> of Chile's explanation of the animal deaths in Calama
> and Chuquicamata.)
> Two weeks later, on Friday, June 23, 2000, five
> cats were found dead under very mysterious
> circumstances in the town of Maria Elena, south of
> Santiago del Estero, about 500 kilometers (300 miles)
> northwest of Buenos Aires.
> "All of the felines presented the same traces--
> a large hole above the heart through which all of the
> blood had been estracted."
> "The residents (of Maria Elena) are frightened
> and would rather keep quiet about the information in
> their possession than have 'others think that we're cracy,'
> they said, turning around to avoid the cold breeze."
> (Editor's Note: (Right now it's mid-winter in Argentina
> and the other countries of the southern hemisphere.)
> "When they saw the carcass of the (first) dead cat,
> they were amazed."
> "'This cat is different, but it has the same hole--
> it's entrails are exposed. It's as if the Chupacabra was
> about to eat it and took off,' suggested one resident who
> didn't want to give his name."
> "As the day progressed, more dead cats turned up==
> all of them with the same orifice."
> 'It's a supernatural creature because there isn't
> such an animal--much less a human being--able to
> inflict such a wound,' one resident said."
> "An examination provided shocking details--the cat
> had an orifice 5 centimeters (2 inches) in diameter
> through which the right lung had been extracted along
> with a portion of the left lung. Furthermore, all of the
> blood had been drained."
> On Saturday night, June 24, 2000, people at a
> disco in Maria Elena "heard strange sounds coming
> from outside the building," which they attributed to
> the Chupacabra.
> In the nearby town of Las Piscinas, "one of the
> witnesses who decided to come forward was Jorge
> Cariaga Gonzales. According to Cariaga, "last
> Saturday night (June 24), he got out of his car
> after having seen something strange. He was then
> able to confirm, as corroborated by his companions,
> that a large animal was climbing over a nearby fence
> 'like a monkey'. The troubled laborer also began
> smelling a nauseating odor which has become
> characteristic among those who claim to have seen
> the Chupacabra."
> "'It's something similar to a decomposing animal,'
> he said, indicating that he had had an overpowering
> urge to flee when at a diatance of 8 meters (25 feet)
> it uttered a horrifying scream."
> "A veterinarian performed an autopsy on one of the
> dead cats, and his analysis proved that the deaths of
> these animals was caused by no human phenomenon
> or animal attack." (See the newspapers La Prensa

> "IMPS FROM HELL" STALK TWO
> SMALL TOWNS IN ARGENTINA
>
> Two towns in north-central Argentina have reported
> apparitions of El Diablillo, an Imp from Hell. And in
> the most recent case, authorities closed a police
> substation as a result.
> On Wednesday, July 5, 2000, Argentinian police
> "closed the deputy sheriff's office" in Dande de Varela
> "and placed two agents on guard" after the police
> officer on duty reportedly saw an Imp appear.
> "Cabo (Corporal) Miguel Angel Aguero was
> hospitalized yesterday morning (July 5) in a state of
> shock, having been given a nervous breakdown by zan
> apparition of an Imp or dwarf which allegedly appeared
> in the substation."
> "Corp. Aguero, 37, being ten years in the service
> and a champion marathon runner in the province, was
> found unconscious and seated in a chair, with his eyes
> wide open and staring at the ceiling. When his colleagues
> tried to bring him around, he started screaming, 'There!
> There it is! It's come to get me!' pointing into the air."
> Corp. Aguero was alone in the station at about
> 1 a.m. After performing a routine walk-through of the
> vacant cellblock, he returned to his office. Then he
> heard something come through the double doors
> behind him.
> "'What do you want?' the agent said, petrified with fear."
> "'I have come for thee on Satan's behalf,' it replied."
> Later, at the hospital, Aguero described the entity in
> detail, saying, "It was a person; I don't know if it was
> a man, with red eyes, very red eyes. Its face was
> deformed and horrible with warts. It was about as tall as my
> waistline and wore filthy black pants and a green shirt.
> Its eyes were red and bulging. Horrible!"
> According to the police report, at 1:30 a.m. on
> Wednesday, July 5, 2000, following three unsuccessful
> attempts to establish radio contact by means of the
> Centrex system with the substation in Dande de
> Carela, a police cruiser, Unit Alfa-3, was dispatched
> "to ascertain Corporal Aguero's situation."
> The investigating officers found Aguero and then
> summoned an ambulance. After being apprised of the
> situation, police chief Domingo Celestino Martell
> ordered the substation closed and posted two armed
> guards on the premises.
> The other Diablillo sighting took place on Saturday
> night, April 17, 2000, in the town of Frias, 270 kilometers
> (162 miles) north of Cordoba.. "A police officer was
> traveling home along the Plazoleta Alfonso de la Vega.
> Then he saw a petiso (little person--J.T.) he took for a
> child. The policeman reprimanded the youngster for
> being outdoors at such a late hour, but in response
> received a menacing look from its fiery red eyes, which
> were described by others persons in the same city.
> Gripped by fear, the policemen lowered his gaze and
> continued walking."
> El Diablillo "is one of the most widely-believed
> mythological figures in Argentinian folklore. Its
> apparitions are common and it is always described the
> same way--dark clothes and penetrating red eyes." (See
