We are all familiar with the legend of Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster, but how many of you are aware of the infamous "goat sucker" - el Chupacabra. First attributed a string of goat murders in Puerto Rico, el Chupacabra's killing spree has extended across Latin America into Nicaragua, Chile and Mexico. El Chupacabra sightings have even been reported in American cities with substantial Latin American populations, like Miami. Lucky for us, el Chupacabra has only been known to strike animals -- so far.
To learn more about the legend of the Chupacabra and the elaborate theories which pertain to it here are a few websites:

Does anyone know of any other Latin American myths or legends?
