Mysterious 'Predator' Cryptid Allegedly Preying on Chickens Near US-Mexico Border

A purported humanoid cryptid, dubbed the “Valley of Juárez Creature,” is allegedly preying on chickens along the US-Mexico border, according to paranormal investigator José Jaime Maussan. Maussan describes the creature as a small, hairless, two-foot-tall being with humanoid features, capable of agility and intelligence.

Maussan claims multiple witnesses have reported sightings of the creature, particularly in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where it has been observed killing chickens. He described the being as a "predator," though he stated it does not appear to be a threat to humans. One account cited by Maussan involves a young boy witnessing the creature grab a chicken by the head before disappearing into a tree.

The investigator is actively searching for the creature, expressing a desire to uncover its origins. "Why did it appear there? It’s a mystery. Are they interdimensional beings? Are they beings who came with other beings? Did they come in ships?" Maussan stated in local media reports.

Public safety officials in El Paso, Texas, and Juárez, Mexico, have reportedly received no official reports concerning a monster killing chickens. Maussan himself has previously made claims about evidence of extraterrestrial life that have drawn scrutiny and controversy. He was recently observed investigating at Tepeyac Cemetery in Juárez.

"This story will go around the world. Not just Mexico but the entire world," Maussan told reporters during his investigation.
