As the legend of the chupacabras originates in a town of Moca (Puerto Rico) where originally it was called to this terrible being 'the vampire of Moca'. Many animals were found without life but the highly surprising thing was that those corpses were intact but had two holes in their necks and without a drop of blood. Some said that this was because a terrible beast drank their blood and obtained it based on a large bite with sharp fangs.


Rubia de Kennedy:

A beautiful young woman with long, blond hair, dressed in a white coat, had hitchhiked on Kennedy Avenue, near Geronimo de Alderete Street. After getting the cars to stop, the girl always climbed into the back seat. But after about two or three kilometers, in the precise moments when the vehicles began to accelerate, the same woman whispered to the drivers, in a calm and soft voice: 'Do not run, please, go more slowly. It is dangerous. I killed myself in one of these streets.' When the surprised drivers listened to the phrase and looked instinctively in the rearview mirror, the young woman was no longer in the car. He had disappeared without a trace.



The Trauco:

is a mysterious creature that, legend says, lives alone on the island of Chiloé, in southern Chile. This mythical figure is one of the best known characters on this small island. It is said that the Trauco is a small man of only 80 cm, with a manly and ugly face, but with a special and sweet look that attracts women. He has no feet, and they say that he wears a suit with a hat made of a plant called coralito, which is used for the production of brooms and baskets. In his right hand he carries an ax made of stone, but when he meets a woman in the forest he uses the implement as if it were a cane, so as not to frighten them.


Drácula:

The story of Dracula is based on a real character, more specifically, in Vlad III. Vlad III was king of Valaquia (present Rumania) in the middle of the 15th century. This small province was under the tutelage, at that time, of the Sacrum Germanic Romanic Empire (if he of Carlos V) and limited with the Ottoman Empire. Their situation was quite ... difficult, because it was the last step that the Turks had to conquer to take Austria and therefore enter Europe fully; in the center of Christianity. Did he suck the blood? Not quite. He only liked to dip bread in the blood of his victims while receiving martyrdom. This cruelty responded to a form of humiliation rather than a need for blood to survive. This nonsense is left to the vampires that shine in the light of day.
