The Sayona - Venezuelan Legend
The legend of the Sayona publishes it because this one related to the unit 3 so called mysteries

The legend says that "La Sayona" was a young woman named Melissa. She lived in a small town in the plains of Venezuela and was the most beautiful girl there. She was married to a great man, caring and loving. Melissa and her husband had a baby boy. One day, Melissa was swimming naked in a near-by river, when a man from the village saw her. After that, the man would always follow her and watch her bathe in the river. One day Melissa saw him and told him to leave her alone; he ignored her, and instead told her that he was there to warn her: "Your husband is having an affair with none other than your mother," he said. Melissa ran home and found her husband asleep with the baby in his arms. Blind with anger, she burned the house with them inside. Villagers could hear their screams while Melissa ran to her mother's house. She found her on the patio and attacked her with a machete, striking her in the stomach. As the mother bled to death, she cursed Melissa by saying that from then on she would have to avenge all women by killing their unfaithful husbands. And from that day forward Melissa became "La Sayona".
In other versions of the tale, it appears to lone men working in the jungle when they are thinking of women they left behind in their hometown or simply when they talk to their work mates about wanting to be with a woman. Later on, a woman would appear to them in the likeness of an unknown, beautiful and desirable woman, or a loved one, and try to lure them into the forests so it could then reveal their animal-like features and devour them or just mangle them, leaving their wretched bodies for their companions to find.
I think that the sayona was cruel on having killed her husband, the mother and her own son without checking if he was unfaithful.In my opinion I believe that this is a mystery though it is said in the Venezuelan plains that there exist several testimonies of his appearance
The chupacabra - world legend
The legend of the chupacabra publishes it because this one related to the unit 3 so called mysteries.

The Chupacabra or Chupacabras (pronunciation: /tʃupa'kabɾa/, from the Spanish words chupar, meaning "to suck", and cabra, meaning "goat"; literally "goat sucker"), also called El Chupacabras in Spanish, is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities.The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. Biologists and wildlife management officials view the Chupacabra as a contemporary legend.
In my opinion I believe that the chupacabra does not exist. The physical characteristics of the chupacabra and the animals found without blood are a mystery.

Haiti
puerto principe. A powerful earthquake rocked Tuesday southwestern Haiti and Dominican Republic, causing widespread devastation in Port-au-Prince and nearby provinces. Early reports indicate that a hospital collapsed and people crying for help, according to authorities and witnesses said.

Authorities launched the alert for a possible tsunami in the region as a result of the earthquake, but the warning was discontinued 45 minutes later.
The powerful earthquake was a "major disaster", said Ambassador of Haiti, Raymond Joseph, the U.S., while the UN launched an appeal for immediate aid to the impoverished Caribbean country
U.S. diplomats on the spot "saw many bodies in the streets and sidewalks, which were torn to pieces," said Philip Crowley, State Department spokesman: "Obviously there are many deaths."
Preliminary data
The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 degrees. It happened in the afternoon at 18:53 local time and was centered about 22 kilometers (14 miles) west of Port au Prince, said the U.S. Geological Service (USGS).
Donate to UNICEF
UNICEF is deploying clean water and sanitation supplies, therapeutic foods, medical supplies and temporary shelter to Jacmel and Port-au-Prince. UNICEF will also be focusing on children who have become separated from their families to protect them from harm or exploitation.
Donate to CARE
CARE plans to start food distributions using stocks of high-protein biscuits from CARE warehouses in Haiti. CARE has 133 staff who are on the ground coordinating with U.N. agencies and other aid organizations to gather more detailed information about the damage and will rapidly scale up response based on those assessments.
