Blue dog monster
An interesting story coming from Androscoggin County in Maine, USA, about a frightening creature that was blamed for deaths of animals. Among the dead were two large domestic dogs: a doberman and a rottweiler. People reported hearing scary howls and chilling shrieks at night, when the attacks have happened. There were reports of a frightening creature with glowing eyes. These events had been going on for many years so that it was a local legend. Then a mysterious blue coloured dead doglike creature was found on a railway track, in Turner, Maine, which many people have said was the actual beast haunting the countrysides. Photos were taken of the carcass and later a sample was taken from it. What was discovered in the DNA is vague. It showed that the blue creature is of the canine family but the details are mostly obscure. What type of canine was it exactly? Was it a hybrid? Others believe it might be a Chupacabra or werewolf.
This cryptid called Chupacabra is also called a goat sucker. It attacks livestock, and also viciously attacks and kills pets. Its supposed to look like a hairless animal with spikes, although much of these stories come from those that might've been mistaken. Or these attacks have been caused by regular wild predators that are diseased.
One of the favourite sceptical theories is that all of the incidents are caused by a mange ridden dog/coyote/wolf, ect. All of the eye witnesses must be seeing an animal with sarcoptic mange. This could explain a lot of the mystery but also it doesn't make sense. Although an animal with such a severe disease is too poorly to hunt, which is why it attacks chickens and goats, it would just never take down healthy large dogs like the doberman and rottweiler. Not in a million years. So if an animal with mange isn't responsible for the killing of healthy large dogs, and other animals, what did?
Bite on that one.
