Case Overview
What happened at Chupacabra?
In 1995, the town of Canóvanas became the epicenter of the Chupacabra legend after dozens of livestock were found dead, their blood reportedly drained. Witnesses described a strange, reptilian creature with spikes along its back stalking the outskirts of town. These chilling reports triggered a wave of sightings across Puerto Rico, securing Canóvanas as the birthplace of one of the world’s most famous cryptid mysteries.
