- A creature similar to the one in Buin was seen less than
20 meters away by prosecutor and spouse in Romera. "We saw the monster"

-
- Completely overwhelmed and not at all desirous of returning
to the countryside--at least not for a while--a state prosecutor and his
wife have returned to Santiago after having spent a week in La Serena,
where they ran into a hairy monster that made their blood run cold as they
took an alternate route to the main highway. They say it wasn't a creature
made by the Lord. The beast was nearly identical to the one seen in early
January by driver Juan Berrios in Buin.
-
- Roberto Ayar Rojas, Maribel Arnaiz Cazaux and their young
daughre Daphane left La Serena around midnight on Wednesday toward Highway
5 North. "We wanted to take our time before heading home. We are used
to traveling at night because it's less hectic," said Maribel from
their home in Quinta Normal.
-
- As they have done many years, the Ayar Arnaiz family
decided to go off the beaten track and take scenic routes through inland
tows, partly to avoid the recurrent tolls and traffic and partly to discover
non-tourist destinations, even if it was already nighttime.
-
- Some 200 km. north of Santiago, the family headed for
the town of Romeral in the 5th Region and entered the town. After driving
for more than an hour, Roberto found that the road ended in a bifurcation
and they were forced to choose which path to take. "We finally decided
to take the right hand path, and no more than a kilometer along the road,
we found someone in a microbus terminal of whom we asked the route to take
back to Santiago. He told us take the other road, so we had to turn back,
" said the head of household.
-
- The time was almost 6 a.m. when they turned back and
took the alternate road. To one side of the street, dense vegetation covered
one side of the street while trees did the same on the other. The girl
was sleeping in the back seat and the couple spoke excitedly while they
smoked cigarettes. It was then that the "thing" appeared.
-
- "It was horrible. I swear to you that I'd never
seen anything like it. It wasn't a dog, rabbit or any other known animal.
It was halfway in the middle of the road, standing on two feet. It was
completely covered in hair and had red eyes," recollected Roberto
less than 24 hours after seeing the unexplained creature. "It was
bent and had a hump on it's back. It had the body fo a kangaroo. It had
two small hand that it moved quickly and deep-set eyes. In fact, it looked
at us, was just as scared as we were, and it ran off, jumping into the
bushes," added Maribel, still feeling the fright.
-
- Both were frozen and later asked the other if they had
seen the same thing. After recovering from the shock, the couple agreed
that the most frightening detail was [the creature's] gaze and the two
long fangs protruding from its upper jaw.
-
- :"They were like two tubes, one stuck to the other.
Some seconds elapsed and it took off. It walked just like those two-legged
lizards, sort of knock-kneed. I don't have a word for it, but it's supernatural,"
said Ayar, who emphasized that he'd always believed the Chupacabras was
a media creation designed to conceal other things.
-
- Meanwhile, back in Buin, Juan Berrios turned over the
hairs of the extravagant being that brushed against his vehicle to the
GEO group for scientific analysis. "We must compare them with hair
samples from otner canids. But in plain sight they're very odd. 10 centimeter
hairs are hard to find on dogs," said Alberto Urquiza.
-
- As regards the "gringos" who were taking photos
in Buin, La Cuarta was able to confirm that these were members of the Instituto
de Investigaciones Exobiol-gicas (IIEE), made up of Spaniards who worked
the field of the paranormal for over 30 years.
