Chasing the Chupacabra

Posted by: Nick Redfern on May 24th, 2012

In a newly-posted piece at Mysterious Universe, I begin thus:

“As someone who is an author, I am often asked to write reviews of other people’s books. The vast majority of all the books I review are focused upon the adventures and exploits of other people. Island of Paradise by Jonathan Downes, however, is very different, in the sense that it’s a book in which I play a central role. Nevertheless, I hope this has not influenced my opinion of the book! It’s a highly entertaining, warts and all study of what occurs during the course of an expedition of the Chupacabra kind…

“It was in the summer of 2004 that Jon and I headed off to the rain-forests of Puerto Rico, courtesy of the SyFy Channel, who wanted to film us chasing the Chupacabra and UFOs for its now-defunct show Proof Positive – which was a pretty well executed combination of The X-Files meets CSI, albeit in a non-fiction format. For seven days we rampaged and roamed around the island in search of the vampire-like beast, and heard tale after tale of crashed UFOs, dead aliens, bizarre conspiracies linking the Chupacabra with extra-terrestrial experimentation, secret military operations, black Flying Triangles, and much more.”

And here’s the complete post.

  1. PoeticsOfBigfoot responds:

    Okay, now I’m confused. Is the singular form “chupacabra” or “chupacabras?” It seems like the latter has usurped the former, from what I remember. Am I mistaken, or is the name evolving, just like the creature itself, which has gone from reptilian goatsucker to mangy canine?
