![]() ![]() ![]() Over the centuries this legend has been embellished by tall tales, hoaxes and occasional sightings of weird things in the woods, but according to Loren Coleman's book "Monsters of New Jersey" there's no hard evidence that it's more than a myth.Ĭhamp is America's answer to Nessie, a mysterious lake monster said to live in Lake Champlain. According to folklore, around that time a New Jersey-area woman gave birth to a cursed monster with a horse's head, bat's wings and cloven hoofs. This mythical beastie was literally birthed in the early 1700s. It is said to have either come from outer space, or be the product of secret government genetics experiments its true origin, a 1995 sci-fi film, was recently revealed in the book "Tracking the Chupacabra." It is also a vampire, supposedly sucking the blood out of its prey (mostly goats, sheep, and small animals). Descriptions vary, but it's said to be from 3 to 5 feet tall, have a row of spikes down its back, and possess alienlike eyes. Despite occasional reports, doctored photos, and scientific investigations (using everything from submarines to sonar beams), hard evidence of Nessie has yet to surface.Įl Chupacabra, the "goat-sucker," was first seen in Puerto Rico in the mid-1990s. According to some believers, Nessie is a plesiosaur, a large marine reptile from the age of dinosaurs. Nessie was first reported in 1933, and since then many locals and tourists have claimed to see something in the cold, deep water. Perhaps best known as the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie is the aquatic beast said to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness.
