Rumor has it that the chupacabra hypnotized its prey. Read on to learn more fascinating chupacabra facts!

Chupacabra Facts: This Folklore Creature Will Fascinate You

We have all grown up reading stories about monsters and giants, and some of them are shrouded in mystery as urban legends with no proof of existence. 

Chupacabra is another name on the list of famous monsters like the Loch Ness monster and the Himalayan Bigfoot or Yeti. This mysterious vampire beast became an urban legend, especially after Benjamin Radford published a detailed report about it in 2012.

The mystery was solved quite easily as the report suggested that the animal was a wild dog. But people were not satisfied with such a simple solution for the loss of so much animal life. Some wondered what happened to the original chupacabra seen in the '90s?

Why are people not seeing the alien creature after the first few years of sightings? Where had the real animal disappeared to? These are some of the questions that are still bothering people, after so many years.

The first report of an unusual appearance came in 1995 when people in Puerto Rico blamed the chupacabra for attacks on their domestic animals and loss of animal life.

There were rumors of carcasses of domestic animals like goats and sheep lying dead, uneaten but drained of blood.

People also gave accounts of seeing a creature that resembled a mix of many other animals like a reptile but standing like a kangaroo, with large, glowing red eyes, and standing on two legs. No one could verify these claims or get any pictures.

Eight sheep were reportedly killed in the first attack by a Chupacabra, each with three similar puncture wounds in the chest, and all the blood had been drained.

New England Patriots facts for every NFL fan!

47 New England Patriots Facts For Football Buffs

The New England Patriots are an American football team based in the Greater Boston area.

The team, founded in 1959 as the Boston Patriots, was a charter member of the American Football League before joining the NFL in 1970. They played home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Since 2002, this privately funded stadium has had all the administrative offices of the team and the Kraft Group. It is also a base for the Kraft-owned, major league soccer team, the New England Revolution.

The Patriots are part of two major teams in the NFL, which represent multiple states. The Patriots hold numerous records in NFL, including one for most Super Bowl victories at six wins, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and losses at 5, tied with the Denver Broncos.

The team has dominated the NFL since 2001 under head coach, Bill Belichick, and quarterback Tom Brady.

The Patriots' most bitter rivalries are the New York Giants and the New York Jets. The Patriots have remained members of the AFC East division throughout their existence.

Initially, it was AFL East in 1960, and then after the merger of AFL and NFL in 1970, it became AFC East. John Hannah (one of the best offensive linemen to ever play in NFL history), Mike Haynes, and Steve Grogan led the Patriots to successes in the '70s and '80s.

In 1986, they advanced to their first Super Bowl but lost. It took another 11 years before the Patriots could return to the Super Bowl.

Clipper ship facts inform us about the history, usage, and decline of clipper ships.

Clipper Ships Facts: Ships Used By Merchants In The 19th Century

A clipper ship was the fastest ship in the 19th century. It was noted for its elegance, delicacy, and quickness.

The clipper trend started with the Baltimore Clipper, a small, fast coastline package. The real clipper arose on American grounds first, and then on British grounds.

It was a large, slim, beautiful ship with a protruding head and a dramatically streamline hull, bearing an extraordinarily big sail spread on triple tall towers in its final configuration.

The focus on speed stemmed in part from such a determination to have the first voyage of the year back from China, and partly from competitiveness with the alternative route to the Californian goldfields across North America.
