Dear Elchupacabra.com,
I am writing to tell you about something really weird that happened to me and a friend in the early hours of Thursday the 26th of June 2003. Though I doubt the monster is a Chupacabra (as it was far shorter and we found it in my friends house in Birmingham, England) when my friend saw the photo of the Chupacabra as we entered your website later to see if we could find any links to what we had seen, he shouted "That's it!" (though when we checked the information on the creature we found it to be rather different to what we had seen). Anyway, straight to the point. Me and my friend were sitting in his room talking about mythology, ghosts, etc. The hall lights went out, but we just presumed the bulb must have gone. At around 3AM we heard a sound downstairs like a door opening. Our sisters were asleep in the other room and my friends parents in theirs so we decided it could just be sounds from the nearby motorway/highway and tried to settle down. The sounds grew more frequent and we both decided to keep watch in the hall with a flashlight whilst the other used the restroom. We caught glimpses of something moving and decided a rat had somehow got into the house. We decided to just go to bed when we heard more loud sounds that a rat couldn't possibly be making. My friend grabbed his flashlight and I grabbed a penknife. We also grabbed a spray can each in case we needed to spray something in the eyes. We spotted the creature standing still down the stairs, by the front door. We could not see it well in the flahlight, so decided to go down and investigate closer. It did not seem bothered by the light and hadn't even noticed our presence in the room until my friend dropped his spray can at the top of the stairs, making a loud clunk. As he bent down to pick it up, the creature ran on all fours to the foot of the stairs and stood upright on its hide legs looking up at us. My friend said it was about a foot tall and we both noticed it had 2 large, catlike eyes. We ran into the bedroom and after about a half hour of sitting, waiting for something to happen, my friend decided to check and see if it was still outside in the hall. He had barely opened the door, when he pulled it to again and sat with his back to the door, blocking it from the inside. He told me the creature had poked his head around the top of the stairs and stared right at the door. Since there was another door leading to the hall from his room, I blocked that and soon enough, we heard a scratching sound against the door my friend was guarding. We both gulped and I grabbed the penknife, just in case. I also grabbed my mobile telephone in an attempt to ring the mainline phone and wake my friend's parents, but the line was dead. Perhaps it was just a coinsidence that the line was dead and the hall light had gone off, but there was definetely no way out of the room, except the door, which had an unknown reptile-like creature behind it. We were completely trapped in the room. The scratching stopped so my friend and I peered through the crack at the bottom of the door and to our horror, saw a giant catlike eye looking back at us. My friend braced himself and slowly opened the door. Again he closed it quickly, but this time he said he had distinctly seen a small, dark creature who (in his description) resembled the Moria Orcs (or Goblins) from lord of the rings. The creature had not even noticed the door was open and continued to crouch, looking under the bottom at us. For a while after we closed the door, it sat there, possibly waiting for us to go to sleep so it could come in and steal small objects from the room (this may sound stupid now, but I'll explain more about why we think this later) until finally it gave up and we heard it descend down the stairs. We sat, alert, until 5AM when it finally started to get bright out before going downstairs to find it. Again, I stood watch at the top of the stairs while my friend went down with the flashlight and the knife. As he shone it on the couch, he made out the outline of the creature sat on one of the cushions. He came back up stairs and told me about it and then went back down to see if he could catch it. The creature ran behind the couch into a corner, vanished, and then appeared behind my friend in the corridor. My friend chased him, yet again into a corner, until he vanished again, this time appearing between the stereo and the wall. My friend came back upstairs and we decided the creature possibly had the ability to teleport because it had dissapeared and reapeared without explanation in several locations. I agreed to come downstairs and again, the creature was by the stereo, his large eye perfectly visible in the darkness. He dissapeared and reapeared behind the kitchen door when we went to make a drink. We went back into the living room while our tea was boiling and looked in his old hiding place by the stereo. We thought he had reappeared there, but then realised that 2 pogo sticks which had been on the floor had been moved and their shiny handles propped up to create the illusion of the Goblin's eyes staring at us. We realised this because the eye was far lower than before and had no pupil. Upon closer inspection, we found him hiding underneath the stairs by where the sticks had been and again he dissapeared. I looked through a gap in the drawn curtains and saw something move slightly in the bushes and told my friend. He looked too and said it was the creature because it's head was sticking up (My glasses were upstairs, but I could still see him). We decided to go and have our drinks in the kitchen (it was 5.30AM now), but when I looked through the window, he was no longer in the garden. Suddenly, he appeared beneath the table, saw us and vanished again. After we finished our drinks, we spotted him hiding in a pile of rubble in the garden. We went back upstairs and at around 6AM I fell asleep. My friend woke me at 9AM and we decided to find where it's den was. We found it almost straight away under a vent beneath the stairs, near many of the places we had seen it (e.g: Stereo, corridor, etc.). We were the only people in the house, so we removed the grate and found underneath a small, very dirty tunnel that stretched as far as we could see. Inside, there were rats running about and a huge spider web blocking the tunnel. My friend leaned into the tight space and told me he could see the Goblin asleep in the tunnels. We didn't know what to do so we put the grate back on and went and got ready to go to my house. Upstairs, I found one of my socks, but the other was missing. We pulled the sheets off my bed, but it was not there. We checked the whole house together (this is how I know my friend hasn't been playing a trick on me), but couldn't find the sock. We went back into my friends room and found the sock, lying right in the middle of the sheetless bed (thats why we think the Goblin steals stuff because we can find no other explanation for this). We went to my house, both extremely alert and cautious I(as if we were being watched) and at 4PM went back to check on the Goblin (we brought a camera this time, just in case). When we removed the grate, we found the spider web was in our way of the creature. Regretedly (because we didn't want to destroys the spider's home) we resorted to pouring water onto the web. The water flushed out a lot of maggots in the tunnels so we looked to see where they had come from. A rat lay, dead, covered in burrowing maggots on the floor, it's organs were visible and (though we aren't experts) many appeared to be missing (we thought this sounded rather like one of the Chupacabra's methods of killing when we read about them on your site). I was about to lower my friend into the tunnel to photograph the creatures that lay inside when he told me not to. That was when we saw what had made the web. You don't get wild tarantulas in Britain (or at least not to our knowledge) so the giant, hairy, 8-legged creature came as a very big shock to us. I pulled my friend out of the tunnel and we replaced the grate. If the Chupacabra or whatever it was had chosen that as it's guard it must have some level of intelligence. On that instance, we didn't get close enough to photograph the Goblin, but we did see it's fingers so we believe it is still there. So there you have it, a rather detailled account of our encounter with an unidentified creature. We wrote down some notes on the creature's appearance and habits. We believe the creature is nocturnal and relies heavily on it's senses of smell and hearing more than it's sight. The creature was dark blue-ish and had small, pointed ears. We did not see it's teeth (but believe it may have been behind the death of that rat in the tunnel) and we believe it is mildly intelligent (it seemed to regard the whole escapade as a game of hide and seek). It has slimy, short, dreadlock-like hair and leathery skin on it's thin body. We believe it can teleport or run at amazing speeds and feeds on small mammals, birds and insects. From what we have seen it is afraid of humans, but will probably not attack unless provoked. We believe the creature has lived in the house for a while (the previous owners' budgies were all eaten mysteriously possible by the Goblin or spider). As my friend previously had a rather large dog which could get rather violent if he saw something he considered a threat, the creature was probably too scared to come out in case the dog attacked. My friend told me a few stories a while back about getting locking in the dark attic with a growling creature when he was younger (and it wasn't his dog), waking up from a nightmare and hearing a loud growling noise and a wardrobe mysteriously opening itself. We pieced these together and decided that it was possible this creature that was behind all of these. We decided to name the species Calex Goblins (a mixture of mine and my friend's names) and nicknamed this one "Douchey" just because it was so annoying. My friend is back at home awaiting another possible visit tonight. Hopefully, he will be able to snap a few pictures of the creature. If so I will alert you of them and will send them to your site. Thanks for your time, hope you found our sighting of interest
