After hundreds of complaints, police is<br>looking for it. Listen to the Sheriff's story on Radio 10.<br><br>Santa Fe is jumping. Residents of the southern area are<br>frightened by the appearance of a strange entity they've dubbed "the rooftop madman" and who - according to their accounts - leaps from roof to roof engaging in acrobatics.<br><br>Witness claim it stands two meters tall, is entirely clad in black and wears a balaclava; it sports a cape and its eyes shine red according to the information received by researchers. This character is able to cross the streets by leaping from one rooftop to the next, taking acrobatic leaps that can be of up to five meters high and ten meters long.<br><br>"He looks like the cat man," say some locals. "His outline is<br>barely visible, his figure. He never showed his face, but they<br>say they've seen his eyes and that they have a reddish cast."<br><br>In an interview with Radio 10, Sheriff Gabriel Legstra acknowledged that "there is a widespread psychosis. In recent<br>days we have received hundred of reports at our radio command<br>center."<br><br>"On Tuesday I dispatched 18 units to assuage people's fears. But ultimately there is no other crime than tresspassing here. The character goes from one roof to the next, appears inside a house, has pressed his face against a window but hasn't attacked anyone."<br><br>The psychosis is growing among residents of southern Santa Fe in spite of having never been attacked. Police confirm that in recent days calls have multiplied, reporting a man leaping from one rooftop to the next "like a madman".<br><br>...<br><br>Mystery grew when several witnesses said that "bullets won't do anything to it. Its eyes gleam red when it it mocks those who try to hunt it."<br><br>A resident of El Arenal claimed having fired 17 times against it without bullets having the least effect, while the ghost did nothing but provoke it, howl like a beast or cry like a child,<br>making dance steps on the rooftops over which it treads like a<br>cat.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>more at the link</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <p></p><i></i>
