Janay Lynn, 30, said the animal gave her “the chills” when she first saw it lurking outside her home in Colorado – and little did she know, it would return.

Now speculation is rife over the animal’s true identity, with some claiming this must be a legendary creature – either a “chupacabra” or a “skin-walker”.
“It didn’t run or act afraid of me, and it turned and looked at me, and I got the chills and ran back inside.
“On Saturday night at about 8.30pm, I had just set out water and food for some stray cats that hang around, and I opened my living room curtains, and it was there.
“It made eye contact with me the whole time and was not afraid.”
Now the video is viral, with hundreds of people taking guesses about the creature’s identity.
Others say it’s a skin-walker – a a witch with the ability to disguise itself as an animal, which the Navajo, indigenous people of the southwestern US, believe in.
What is El Chupacabra?
El Chupacabra, meaning “goat-sucker” in Spanish, is a creature from American folklore.
It is said to be a monster that attacks animals, especially goats, and drinks their blood.
The chupacabra is often described as a reptile-like creature with spines along its back or as a strange, hairless animal with sharp teeth.
Some people, especially in rural areas, small towns, parts of Latin America and the southwestern US, believe the chupacabra exists.
They say the creature is responsible for strange animal deaths where the animals have been drained of blood.
Despite a lack of scientific evidence, the legend remains popular in some communities.
But others say that people who spot ‘chupacabras’ are actually seeing animals like dogs or coyotes that have mange – a skin disease caused by mites.
Mange-infested animals have extreme hair loss, a foul odour and are more susceptible to bacterial infections.
As a result of their weakness, animals with mange sometimes hunt domestic animals.
“Raccoon, badger, wolverine, coatimundi, bear,” said Janay.
“That’s why it’s so scary because no one can even tell what it is.”
“It has long legs and arms, is about two-and-a-half feet in length, and has chocolate brown fur that is thick and coarse covering its whole body.
Some locals even came down to see for themselves.
“Then it ran down the street into a drainage ditch, and we shined a light in there, and it started making a hissing-like noise.
Contacted by local news station KOAA News5, Colorado wildlife officials said it was “tough to be 100% sure” of the animal’s identity.
“We think this animal might be a raccoon with mange.”
“I get raccoons here every night, it’s definitely not a raccoon,” she said.
The alien-like animal was seen in November by a conservation group as it wriggled slowly along the shore in Sussex.
Another mysterious creature was seen strolling through a town park that same month.
The beast appears to have a dark furry coat with a long white stripe along its back and a curved tail and the head of a deer.
At first glance, the animal seemingly resembles a lemur, but experts haver dismissed this notion.
This is how drawings typically depict the mythical creature, El Chupacabra, though opinions on its appearance vary
