One of my favourite blogs as I have mentioned before is Inexplicata which journals Hispanic UFO sightings, Chupacabra sightings and occasionally other strangeness. This week they documented the H1N1 ‘flu pandemic and I thought that you would find it interesting:

“Mexican researcher Marco Reynoso is tracking developments in the H1N1 virus’s spread throughout his country, and providing us with disturbing – if not outright alarming – information about what is going on in the streets of major cities south of the border. He quotes an e-mail from an anonymous resident of the state of Michoacan that reads thus:

“I live in Michoacan. To date, 3 cases have been confirmed in this state. However, we have had people dying of similar symptoms and in fact, one of them was incinerated only a few hours after dying. Why isn’t the truth being told? I understand that caution must prevail in political and economic matters, yet it has also been said that this is the same virus that killed nearly 100 million people in 1918.” ”

One of my favourite blogs, Inexplicata, has recently reported on a mysterious humanoid ‘Bat Man’ that has been terrorizing Mexicans recently.

I am not sure why, but the ‘monsters’ of Mexico and Central and South America have always fascinated me. Added to this is the wealth of UFO sightings and even close encounters. This makes Latin America a truly mysterious and bizarre place!

Anyway, here is a part of the article on the latest sightings of the flying bat man in the land of small dogs!

“The Man Bat, who seems to have popped out of some fiction movie, is a real creature that caused a young student from the local university–and a resident of La Junta — to panic. It is a being witnessed by several locals who have described it as a winged humanoid with a fur-covered face and a height of 2 meters.

And he has not yet recovered from the experience that evening – Friday, March 6 at 23:50n hours, as he left Universidad Regional del Norte and headed home to La Junta. However, when he reached Puente Sin Nombre, he was forced to hit the brakes and make an emergency stop. There was a shadowy bulk on the asphalt, looking like a hunched-over man , perhaps covered by a blanket.

Information is filtering through regarding a possible encounter with a UFO that occurred on the 27th of October 2008 in the skies over Mexico City.

The crew of a Boeing 737-200 aircraft that was performing a descent has reported the witnessing of a UFO on the 27th of October 2008.

The UFO has been described as an ‘elongated teardrop’ and approached the the airliner from the left side. The object was described as moving slowly, and seemed to have a frontal diameter of 8 metres.

The airliner was operating from Los Cabos to Mexico City, however the actual name of the airline has not been released. Weather conditions are reported to have been good and the skies were clear.

Belief in the vampire Tlahuelpuchi (plural tlahuelpocmimi) is prominent in the Mexican state of Tlaxcala, with deep roots amongst the indigenous Nahua culture of the region.

The tlahuelpuchi is a type of vampire or witch that lives with its human family. It is able to shape shift and sucks the blood of infants at night. It has a kind of glowing aura when shape shifted. Tlahuelpuchi are born with their curse and cannot avoid it.

They first learn of what they are sometime around puberty. Most tlahuelpuchi are female and the female tlahuelpuchi are more powerful than males. The tlahuelpuchi have a form of society. Typically they each have their own territories. They also have a pact with shamans and other supernatural creatures; a shaman won’t turn in a suspected tlahuelpuchi.

The typical sign that a victim was killed by the tlahuelpuchi are bruises on their upper body. The Tlahuelpuchi largely feeds on children, though it can kill others.

Tlahuelpuchi are able to change form by detaching their body from their legs (which are left in the house of the witch). They then go hunting, usually in the form of some bird like a turkey or a vulture. The tlahuelpuchi has to perform a ritual before she can enter the house of a victim. The tlahuelpuchi must fly over the house in the shape of a cross from north to south, east to west.
