Atrapan el Chupa Cabra en Texas

Noticia en ingles:

The mythical chupacabra is a hairless, nocturnal wolf-dog; the name, roughly translated, means “the goatsucker.” Widely regarded as the Mexican Bigfoot, tales of the bloodsucking beast originated in Puerto Rico, but alleged sightings have been reported  over the last few years in the U.S. Last week a Texas taxidermist got what might be a chupacabra, and CNN and Telemundo rushed over to interview him faster than you can say “Look at that hairless goatsucker!”

“The phone has been ringing off the hook” at the Blanco Taxidermy School, Robert McDaniel, the chief instructor, told The Times on Wednesday. The news media and the curious — “Good Morning America” among them — have called in asking for interviews and to find out if they have really found a chupacabra. “We’ve gotten about 100 calls today,” he said.

The interest is all about a dead, hairless, coyote-like creature that was captured by Lynn Butler, a former student at the school. According to McDaniel, Butler heard something in his cousin’s barn “tearing up the chickens pretty bad. So he left poison out thinking it was a raccoon or other varmint.” The next day he discovered the lifeless animal that many claim is a chupacabra.

Jerry Ayer, owner of the Blanco Taxidermy School, isn’t so sure that what he has really is what everyone hopes he has. But as the man who is in the process of stuffing the beast, he does know he’s working on something unique.

But what makes it so different from other coyotes or dogs is that it is  mostly hairless. “It has a little fuzz around the feet,” Ayer says. “Almost like little socks of fur. And there’s a little hair up the backbone. Very odd-looking.”

Clearly intrigued by the creature’s abnormalities, Ayer continues, “The hairlessness is sinister because you can see the bones protruding at the hips.”

It’s that creepy look and scavenger-like behavior that Ayer believes leads people to buy into the myth. “These types [of animals] will zip in and out of people’s backyards and eat anything live or dead. They have two big canine teeth in the front and they go for the neck.” When someone hears the animal and goes out back with a flashlight to investigate, “They see this weird-looking dark creature running off. And they see two holes in the side of the neck of a goat, and they take it from there.”

What they take it for is a chupacabra, whether Ayer agrees or not. “It doesn’t matter what I call it,” Ayer says. “It’s been labeled.”

But one thing does matter to Ayer. “I don’t want to be known as the chupacabra quack,” he said by telephone.  ”People say there’s a mythical beast and [that] I have one. I’ll call it chupacabra because people love it, but I don’t know what it is.”

Two universities might help identify exactly what Ayer has. He said he has received requests from the University of Texas and UC Davis to provide tissue samples for their ongoing research.

And what of the possibility that a chupacabra might make an appearance locally — say, at the Los Angeles Zoo? Asked if the zoo would house a chupacabra if one was captured, Jason Jacobs, the zoo’s marketing and  public relations director, put off  the issue as a matter of conjecture. “We don’t have scientific proof that one exists,” Jacobs noted.

Meanwhile, as the university scientists conduct their studies, the careful craft of taxidermy is being performed in Central Texas.

McDaniel and Ayer, who are half-brothers, say they have no immediate plans to charge admission to view the animal once it is properly stuffed and mounted; they’re just happy that it is bringing attention to the taxidermy school. (According to McDaniel, for $3,500 the school will provide all the education anyone would need to become a professional taxidermist.

Once the mounting is complete, Ayer says, he plans on displaying it at the school. But he’ll store it at night in a safe place — because, he says, he’s sure something as rare as whatever he has would be quite valuable to thieves.

El mal de ojo, realidad o mito

Pese a que las características del mal de ojo están bien definidas desde tiempos inmemoriales, es habitual que se incluyan ideas muy diversas dentro de la misma categoría.

 

A menudo se utiliza la denominación “mal de ojo” para designar fenómenos que tienen poco o nada que ver con este tema.

 

La ambigüedad con la que se utiliza esta expresión es la causa de que mucha gente emplee el mismo término para describir cosas distintas.

 

Suele confundirse el mal de ojo o aojamiento con cualquier tipo de hechizo o con otras enfermedades culturales.

 

Estas creencias tienen en común que se les atribuye un efecto maligno provocado por causas no físicas.

 

Se considera a los hechizos como el mal de ojo, un influjo nefasto dirigido contra seres vivos, provocados en forma consciente o inconsciente en forma de maleficio.

 

La base en la que se sustenta la hipótesis que sostiene que se puede accionar sobre otro ser, es la existencia de una sustancia o agente mágico que conecta todas las cosas de la Creación.

 

Una supuesta atmósfera psíquica en la que todo y todos están inmersos, quizás relacionado con el inconsciente colectivo de Jung, los mitos, el folklore, etc., sería

lo que permite la interacción postulada por la creencia en los hechizos.

 

Los hechizos se clasifican como:

 

· Hechizos de amor.

· Hechizos de odio.

· Hechizos de dominio.

 

A esta categoría es a la que pertenece el mal de ojo.

 

La consecuencia es la manifestación de todo tipo de dolencias y obstáculos en el mundo material.

 

Esta es una creencia universal, que se encuentra en todas las épocas y en todos los lugares del planeta.

 

La creencia en el mal de ojo incluye también el concepto de que los malos pensamientos dirigidos hacia un objeto, animal o persona, podrían, a través de la mirada, perturbar el campo magnético de las victima.

 

Que es lo que distingue al mal de ojo de otro tipo de hechizos?

 

La respuesta esta contenida por el verbo que designa la acción de aojar: lanzar una mala mirada, dirigir a traves del ojo como emisor y de la mirada como vehículo, una intención dañina con la intención de destruir.

 

Debemos deducir que el mal de ojo es un hechizo dirigido hacia donde se posan determinado tipo de miradas, emitidos por los ojos de algunas personas.

 

El lenguaje también nos ofrece muchas claves para entender el origen de la creencia en las miradas malignas.

 

Se dice habitualmente que la mirada, o la vista, se posa en tal o cual sitio, como si realmente se pensara que la mirada es una especie de prolongación de alguna parte de la persona.

 

El lenguaje delata a menudo como el ser humano interpreta el mundo a nivel inconsciente.

 

Frases como:

· Donde se pone el ojo……

· Echarle el ojo a…..

· Ojo con lo que se dice.

· Ojo por ojo…

 

Los móviles universalmente aceptados por todos los pueblos del planeta como detonantes para el mal de ojo son la envidia, los celos y la codicia.

 

A pesar que se sabe que el ojo es solo un receptor de ondas luminosas que el cerebro interpreta como imágenes, los órganos de la vista se consideran inconscientemente focos que pueden emitir radiaciones capaces de posarse, en forma simbólica, sobre aquello que se mira.

 

Aquí radica el secreto de que esta creencia tan arcaica perdure en el tiempo.

 

El ojo radiante es un símbolo que forma parte de los contenidos inconscientes de la humanidad.

 

Los símbolos son eternos.

Pueden ser negados, rechazados, reprimidos, ocultados.

Pero no se les puede hacer desaparecer.

Jesús Santísimo

Profesora se ahorca por “petición del Diablo”.

Montecristi.- La profesora, Yaneily Pimentel, de 23 años, se estranguló en su residencia para cumplir con un mandato de “Satanás”, quien según explica en un manuscrito le pidió que se suicidara.

La educadora  fue encontrada por sus familiares colgada con una soga atada al cuello en el baño de su casa, ubicada en la calle Proyecto, del sector Barrio Nuevo de La Mata de Santa Cruz.

Según declaraciones de sus parientes, la joven Pimentel dejó una carta en la expresa que el diablo le dijo que debía quitarse la vida o matar a su hija de cuatro meses de nacida.

Los vecinos y gente allegada a la familia opinan que al parecer la profesora había hecho un pacto con el “Demonio” y que éste le exigió la vida de su hija y que ella prefirió sacrificarse antes de entregar su hija recién nacida.

Co relación al suicidio la Policía informó que está investigando el hecho y que hasta el momento no tiene ninguna pista sobre los motivos que llevaron a la educadora a quitarse la vida de esa manera.
