Chupacabra Sighting
by Kyle Keatts

I saw something that horrified me in the year of 1996 or 1997. It was a dark night and I was at my dad's sister's house in the woods in Evington, Virginia off Platue Dr. I was wandering about and something caught my eye near her house in the woods near the chicken coop, which was near a barbed wire fence, and beyond that for several miles were some cows and stuff like that. I remember seeing two red eyes that stuck out from out the darkness near the ground, so i went in for a better look. I remember I kept looking at its protruding, oval-shaped eyes, which appeared to have a black slit through them - like a cat's eyes. It looked at me back and then I got a sense of danger and got really frightened, then I took off like a bat out of hell back to the house to tell my dad what I saw out there. He ran outside to take a look for himself and we both saw what appeared to be a 3- 4-foot-tall animal running upright on its legs, and its legs looked like that of a kangaroo, but it did not hop; it ran really fast. In the light of the light pole up the driveway, we saw it was black with scaling-looking skin with what looked like spikes running down its back. But what I remember most are its red eyes, which I can still see today in my memory. I later talked with the woman that lived there just about a year ago and she said that something killed her chickens and threw them about her yard -- around 10-15 of them, dead, no blood whatsoever in them at all.
