Chupacabras
in Illinois?
by Tim B.
I was either 14 or 15 years old (1988 or 1989) and living in Naperville, Ill. I was at a friend's house drinking and carrying on. When it became time for me to walk home, my walk home was through a large dark field, then over a hill and down, then over railroad tracks, then up a hill again to my home. Walking through the dark field, my mind was already working overtime. By the time I had reached the first hill, I had convinced myself that I was some kind of badass. I reached the tracks, now standing on them. I was paralyzed with what I saw. Looking directly into my eyes - a demon as I called it - was a 1/4 up the hill in front of me in some brush about 20 ft. from the path I took. He was bald with huge eyes, about 3-4 ft. tall and the hands having claws. I saw no other features. I was so scared, it took everything I had to just run. I have never run as fast in my life. I ran by him up the hill, never once looking back.
I am 27 years old now married with a daughter, Telling my story to my sister-in-law, she called what I saw a "goatsucker." I am just now looking it up and it is chilling to say the least, of the history of this creature, but at the same time I feel relieved or something. Facing that thing almost drove me crazy with fear. I even kicked around the idea of going looking for the creature.
