The creature of legend in many South and Central American countries has finally reached the frozen north of Marshall, MN.  The Chupacabra, a translation of the Spanish “sucker of goats,” was spotted along the bank of the Redwood River in town.

The Chupacabra has terrorized countries like Puerto Rico and Mexico for years, with the first sighting occuring in 1995.  This creature is believed to be responsible for slaughtered livestock, especially goats, which are frequently found drained of blood.

In Marshall, local turkey factories are reporting tens, even hundreds, of birds sucked dry like broken water balloons by the beast.

A photograph was finally captured of the elusive Chupacabra.  Although blurry, it provides undeniable proof of the existance of the creature.  The photographer described it as a “tiny, shivering mongrel” which “let out high-pitched yips” and “peed all over [his] flower garden.”

Teams of hunters are already scouring the wilds of Marshall to kill this mighty beast.
