La Chupacabra

Stories of la Chupacabra, or "Goat Sucker", first originated in Puerto Rico in the 1990s. It began with the discovery of local farm animals (mostly goats) drained of blood during the night. Shortly thereafter, sightings of an unusual animal began to be reported. While the descriptions of this animal vary, sightings of it have been reported from Chile to Maine. Two details, however, do seem to be consistent from story to story. La Chupacabra is said to be about the size of a small bear, with a row of spikes extending from neck to tail. Still, most people believe that la Chupacabra is a myth. With no evidence of the creature, that is what it will remain.

Bigfoot

Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch, has been reported to have been sighted mostly in the Pacific-Northwest area of the US, but also in the British Columbia province of Canada since the 1860s. It has been described as, "a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid". There have also been numerous accounts of sightings of similar animals in different parts of the world. The Yeti, for example, of the Himalayas. Of course, there is no conclusive evidence to prove or disprove Bigfoot beyond the shadow of a doubt. Some explain Bigfoot away as folklore, misidentification, a hoax, or all three. If that truly is all there is to Bigfoot, then it is the most famous, misidentified, hoaxed story of all time.
