Initial data
Human nature is curious. Many of us prefer to do some tasks at different times than others, so it shouldn't surprise anyone to be prompted to wash the car at 2:50 a.m., which is exactly what Osvaldo Rosado did on December 23.
"Rosado, a resident of the city of Guanica, where Chupacabras have already noticed their presence at the beginning of the month, allegedly finished watering his car with a hose and was preparing to disconnect the hose when a strange hairy creature approached him from behind and his bear hug was so strong that wounds appeared on the victim's stomach.
Numb with panic, Rosado was finally able to scream and fight the creature until he managed to break the deadly embrace. Turning to his attacker, he was doubly shocked to find that it was an APE-like creature, much taller than his own six feet (1.8 m) tall. The shaggy hugger turned its tail and ran out of Rosado's backyard.
Neighbors responded to his screams and eventually took the badly shaken victim to a hospital in Yauko to treat his injuries.
For a while, there were conflicting stories. One newspaper blamed the incident on the Chupacabra, but the victim claimed she never spoke to the reporter who wrote the story.
The creature in no way matched the descriptions given to the goatherd, and was certainly not winged - Rosado believed the attacker must have been at least two feet (0.6 m) taller than Himself.
Four days later, a local researcher called the radio program to give an update on the "Bigfoot attack": by fate, the creature that attacked Osvaldo Rosado was seen by people in the vicinity of Guanica, which served as confirmation of the size and growth.
To make matters worse, the researcher added that smaller hairy creatures were reported in the vicinity of the Laguna Cartagena balloon, the base of the anti-drug balloon, which was a source of popular discussion at the time.
Original news
That was the reaction of a fellow paranormal researcher to my monograph on the elusive Chupacabras (The Chupacabras Diaries) but not about the paranormal predator itself. His reluctance had to do with an incident that took place in December 1995 involving a reported sighting with a Type I Bigfoot in the island’s southwestern corner. Winged bloodsucking monsters were one thing, but a Caribbean Sasquatch was asking the reader to suspend disbelief a little too much. Regardless, this was the information presented in the monograph:
“Human nature is curious. Many of us prefer to carry out certain tasks at different times from others; therefore, no one should be surprised by the urge to wash a car at 2:50 a.m., which is exactly what Osvaldo Rosado was doing on December 23 -- just hours after our visits to the Gómez and Sánchez residences.
“Rosado, a resident of the city of Guánica, where the Chupacabras had already made its presence felt earlier in the month, had allegedly finished hosing down his vehicle and getting ready to disconnect the hose when as strange hairy creature approached him from behind and gave him a bear hug so strong that wounds appeared on the victim's abdomen. Rendered speechless by panic, Rosado was finally able to scream and struggle with the entity until he managed to break the deadly embrace. Turning to face his assailant, he was doubly shocked to find that it was a simian creature, much taller than his own six-foot height. The shaggy embracer turned tail and ran away from Rosado's backyard. Neighbors responded to his screams, and eventually took the badly shaken victim to a hospital in Yauco to have his wounds treated.
“Conflicting stories circulated for a while. One newspaper blamed the incident on the Chupacabras, but the victim claimed never having spoken to the reporter who wrote the story. The creature in no way matched the descriptions given of the Goatsucker, and was certainly not winged--Rosado believed that the assailant must have been at least two feet taller than himself.”
Four days later, a local researcher phoned a radio program to provide an update on the "Bigfoot attack": As fate would have it, the creature that attacked Osvaldo Rosado had been seen by people in the vicinity of Guánica, offering corroboration for the intruder's girth and height. To compound matters further, the researcher added that hairy creatures of lesser stature had been reported in the vicinity of the Laguna Cartagena aerostat facility, the base of a drug-interdiction balloon that was a source of popular discussion at the time.
