Blood sucker ... El Chupacabra
      
FRAUGHT farmers have asked priests to bless their flocks because they fear a supernatural blood-sucking beast is behind a series of brutal attacks on livestock.
  
Russian villagers say the so-called "El Chupacabra" doesn't eat the corpses of the animals it kills - just drains their blood.

Each time there are the puncture marks on their necks - a trait that in the past has earned the animal the name 'vampire dog'.

Novosibirsk local Viktor Shushpanov said: "It comes from the devil and I've seen it.

"The police won't act. They're worried that if they write down 'vampire' or 'chupacabra' on a report they will look like cranks but we know what we've seen.

"There have been dozens of corpses."

Nearby Krasnoginnoe, Tolmachevskoye and Chick villages have also been affected.

"It's come from the devil. I've seen it. My brother, even when he lived near St Petersburg seven years ago accidently photographed a chupacabra," said Viktor Shushpanov.

"He took the usual family picture and then saw the demonic face through the kitchen window. Grey-red it was, such an unpleasant face, like a bat with fangs."

"My brother showed me this photograph and upon the advice of his family he burned it."

The legend of the chupacabra - derived from the Spanish for 'goat sucker' - began in Puerto Rico in 1995 when blood-drained goats started appearing. It then spread quickly around the world. 
   
Later that year a newspaper printed a description of a creature standing on its hind legs up to five feet tall with spikes down its back and long, thin arms.

Others who have seen the beast also say it look similar to a small bear with the spines described in the article.

Sightings of similar creatures have been reported throughout the Caribbean, in Latin America, Mexico and Florida.

A village leader said: "All the people are scared, they fear that the creature will move onto children.

"We have organized night patrols of six people. We walk through the village, on the look out for this wickedness. But so far we have had no results."

Last week a US teenager in TEXAS claimed to have shot and killed the mysterious creature.

He said at the time: "Its back legs were shrivelled up. I mean, I honestly think it's a Chupacabra."
