"There's an old saying; just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean they're not out to get you. I have my own variation: just because you're insane that doesn't mean that things aren't slipping in unnoticed through dimensional gateways..." ~ Christopher Knowles (h/t to The Daily Grail for quote.)

Travis and I see a chupacabra…. | Two Different Girls

A skeptic takes a very reasonable, and true skeptical view, on the witnessing of an odd thing. (I take a mild nit picking issue with her comment "... I certainly do not believe we saw a chupacabra" because of the morphing history of the word, and motif, of "chupacabra.")

 The problem with this is that whenever we tell anyone what we have seen, and most of our friends are skeptics, they say “Well, it was just a dog with mange”. We don’t hear, “It might have been a dog with mange.” We don’t hear “Do you think it was a dog with mange?” We get “It was a dog with mange.”

No, it was not a dog with mange, unless it was a Great Dane with mange that was half kangaroo.

Travis and I learned a great lesson, which is to treat people reporting an unusual sighting with respect and not to “tell” them what they’ve seen. There is a lot of weird stuff out there.
