Living on the El Paso-Ju\u00e1rez border, I feel like we hear about EVERYTHING. Seriously, news travels fast around here, especially when it involves something weird.<\/p>\n
Which is why I’m a little offended that I’m just now hearing about a mysterious, possibly alien-looking creature that’s supposedly been stealing chickens just across the border?!<\/p>\n
Excuse me?! How did this not make it into the Borderland group chats?!<\/p>\n
And just in time for Halloween, too. As if we needed another creepy creature to add to our collection of local legends!<\/p>\n
A Mysterious Creature Reported Near El Paso<\/p>\n
According to ufologist Jaime Maussan<\/a>, and residents in Ju\u00e1rez, they have allegedly spotted a strange creature that sounds like something straight out of a horror movie.<\/p>\n The creature is described as pale, almost completely hairless, with human-like features, long, skinny fingers, and a long tail.<\/p>\n That’s quite the height difference, but apparently, nobody can agree on what this mysterious visitor looks like.<\/p>\n READ MORE: El Paso’s Scariest Childhood Stories Include La Lechuza<\/a><\/p>\n Is This the Borderland’s New Chupacabra Mystery?<\/p>\n Now, this is where the story gets even weirder.<\/p>\n The creature has reportedly been sneaking into chicken coops and making off with chickens. One account even claims a young boy watched it carry away a chicken in its mouth.<\/p>\n Naturally, my mind immediately went to the Chupacabra. I mean, mysterious creature? Missing farm animals? Right here on the border? We’ve heard this one before!<\/p>\n But Maussan has floated an even stranger possibility<\/a>: What if this creature came from another dimension? Yes. Another dimension.<\/p>\n Before we start imagining portals opening somewhere outside of Ju\u00e1rez, it’s worth mentioning that there’s absolutely no scientific evidence supporting that theory.<\/p>\n
