- MERIDA, Mexico -- Over 100
residents of the Texan Palomeque commissariat of the municipality fo Hunucma,
backed by 10 police officers of said entity, went after an alleged "paranormal
being" dubbed "the Wolfwoman", whose escapades have caused
fear among residents of this and other Yucatan communities.
-
- Armed with rifles, shotguns, pistols and equipped with
lanterns, the locals organized themselves by groups and plunged into the
wilderness in order to put an end to this "being", described
by eyewitnesses as hairy, standing approximately a meter an a half, walking
on two legs and with glowing red eyes.
-
- The alleged wolfwoman has slain hundreds of farm birds
in this commissariat and has also been seen in communities within other
municipalities, such as Umn, Halach" and Sisal.
-
- Tadeo Cauich, one of the municipal police officers of
Hunucm who accompanied the hunters, said that the matter has already turned
into a legend and that there is a great amount of fear in the locality,
to the extent that residents of Texn Paloqueme and other neighboring commissariats
no longer go out at night, fearful of encountering the strange being.
-
- Residents of Texn did not have the luck to find the "wolfwoman",
although some say the creature was seen running toward Umn.
-
- But it isn't just the wolfwoman who has the hairs of
the locals standing on end, since other municipalities and communiteis
claim having seen other supernatural beings, as occurred in Opichn, an
eastern locality, where there was talk of the "Huay kekn -- a devil
hound, in the Mayan language -- responsible for the deaths of dozens of
pigs, dogs and cats in that area. The presence of the notorious "Chupacabras"
has even been reported in Mrida, the state capital.
-
- Apparitions and attacks by these phenomena have increased
in recent weeks and new accounts emerge every day from those who swear
having seen or been victims of such attacks.

- ** "A hairy creature standing a meter and half,
running on two legs ***
-
- No one slept in Texn Palomeque last night. Residents
organized into groups and ventured into the wilderness to hunt down the
"wolfwoman."
-
- Until 11 last night, some 100 people armed with rifles
and lanterns, combed the wilderness of this small commissariat in Huncum
searching for the strange creature that has caused its dogs to become restless.
-
- But they were not alone: eight elements of the local
municipal police force escorted them
-
- Movement began at Texn at 7:30 last night, after the
barking of dogs was heard from a two storey house outside the town, where
hogs and poultry are raised.
-
- Since last Wednesday, when turkeys were found dead "under
bizarre circumstances", the locals are alert to the slightest movement.
The constant barking of dogs attracted the first group of "hunters",
whose number gradually increased.
-
- Minutes later, someone said that the "wolfwoman"
was seen outside the town, on the road to Umn.
-
- Benito Canul Canul, a 45 year-old worker who took part
in the posse, said that he managed to fire against the strange being outside
his house on the way to the cemetery. He is unsure if he hit it. "The
creature was dog shaped, but with glowing eyes."
-
- Hunters taking part in the posse claimed having seen
the "wolfwoman" and described it as a hairy being, measuring
1 1/2 meters, and sometimes running on two legs.
