There is yet another case involving a flying monster and a Woman in Black, and, on this occasion, a Man in Black as well. As with the terrifying experience of Colin Perks, it also dates from 2000.

For years, sinister and sensational 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, striking terror into the hearts of the populace. It has a pair of glowing red eyes, powerful, claw-like hands, razor-sharp teeth, a body not unlike that of a monkey, a row of vicious spikes running down the length of its back, and, occasionally, a pair of large and leathery bat-like wings. The beast is said to feed on the blood of the local animal—predominantly goat—population, after puncturing their jugular veins with two sharp teeth. That’s correct: Puerto Rico has a monstrous vampire in its midst. Its name is the Chupacabra, a Latin term meaning “goat sucker.”

Theories abound with respect to the nature of the beast, with some researchers and witnesses suggesting that the monster is some form of giant bat; others prefer the theory that it has extraterrestrial origins; the most bizarre idea postulated is that the Chupacabra is the creation of a top-secret genetic research laboratory hidden deep within Puerto Rico’s El Yunque rainforest, located in the Sierra de Luquillo, approximately 25 miles southeast of the city of San Juan.

On several occasions, I have traveled to the island of Puerto Rico to seek out the vampire-like Chupacabra for myself, and perhaps one day determine its true nature. On one particular occasion, while roaming around Puerto Rico in 2005 with Canadian filmmaker Paul Kimball (we were there to make a documentary titled Fields of Fear), I had the very good fortune to meet and interview a man named Antonio, a pig farmer who had an unusual experience in 2000 that led to a decidedly strange visit from a Woman in Black/Man in Black duo. As Antonio told me, one of his animals had been killed, after darkness had fallen, by the now-familiar puncture marks to the neck. In this case, however, the animal exhibited three such marks, rather than the usual two. In addition, a number of rabbits kept on the property had been slaughtered in an identical fashion.

At the time all of the carnage was taking place, a considerable commotion was being made by the rest of Antonio’s animals. Upon hearing this, he rushed wildly out of his house with a machete in his hand, and flung it hard in the direction of the marauding predator. Strangely, he told me, the weapon seemed to bounce off something that seemed metallic in nature. In fact, Antonio suggested that what the machete had made contact with seemed armor-plated. Due to the overwhelming darkness, however, he had no idea what the creature may have been. But something deadly was most certainly prowling around the property. The most confounding aspect of the affair was still to come, however.
