A MIB, a WIB, and a Monster
Posted by: Nick Redfern on December 13th, 2012
Over at Mysterious Universe, there’s a new post from me that deals with one of my trips to Puerto Rico in search of the Chupacabras, when nothing less than both a Man in Black and a Woman in Black became part of the story!
It starts like this…
“While the term ‘Men in Black’ is one that pretty much everyone understands – regardless of whether or not they have an interest in the UFO issue, conspiracy-theories, or Forteana in general – what about their female counterparts, the Women in Black, or WIB? Although reports are far more scarce, they do exist and are no less intriguing than the more well-known MIB. Indeed, back in 2005, I was caught up in the investigation of one such case…
“For years, sensational and sinister stories have surfaced from the forests and lowlands of Puerto Rico that tell of a strange and lethal creature roaming the landscape by night and day, while striking overwhelming terror into the hearts of the populace – which is not at all surprising since the animal has been described as having a pair of glowing red eyes, powerful, claw style hands, razor sharp teeth, a body not unlike that a monkey, a row of vicious spikes running down the length of its back, and occasionally, and of deep relevance to this particular chapter, a pair of large and leathery bat-like wings.”
And here’s the full story of a monster, a MIB, and a WIB.
