I had a long conversation with someone the other day about urban legends and stories about bigfoot, the jersey devil and things like that. we were having a discussion about "chupacabra" (goatsucker). This was my argument...in the Isaiah book, chapter 27 paragraph 16 it quotes "And haunters of waterless regions must meet up with howling animals, and even the goat-shaped demon will call to its companion" Is. 34:14 (in spanish it says "chotacabras") When you look it up in Insight it calls this animal a nightjar (night-monster, night hag, Lilith). "The nightjar is almost 30 cm (12 in.) in length with a wingspan of 50 cm (20 in.) or more; its plumage resembles the owl’s, being soft and delicately mottled with gray and brown. The soft wing feathers allow for noiseless flight. Its large mouth is evidently the reason for its also being called the goatsucker, an ancient legend holding that the bird sucked the milk of goats." So....I beleive it's real but some people are so afraid that they make it something scarrier than what it is.
