A video (see below) allegedly showing a goblin running along a road in Argentina has gone viral on social media, sparking debate and speculation among internet users, reports coasttocoastam.com.
The footage was reportedly recorded on Christmas Eve by a security camera outside a police officer’s home in the town of José de San MartÃn.
The video shows a dog barking at something off-screen, then a small, dark figure zooms past the camera, moving very quickly and appearing blurry.
Some viewers have suggested that the figure could be a duende, a mythical creature from Latin American folklore said to be a mischievous spirit or goblin. Others have dismissed the idea, saying the figure is human or animal, or that the video is fake.
The police officer who owns the camera told local media that he was not at home when the incident occurred, but he later viewed the footage and was surprised by what he saw.
He said he didn’t know what the figure was, but he didn’t believe it was a goblin. He also said that his dog was not afraid of the figure, but rather curious.
The video has generated a lot of interest and comments on social media, with some users sharing their own stories and experiences with duendes or other paranormal phenomena.
A duende is a humanoid figure from folklore, with variations from Iberian, Iberoamerican and Latin American cultures, similar to dwarves, gnomes or gnomes.
Some have expressed fear or curiosity about the figure, while others have made jokes or memes about it. The video has also attracted the attention of paranormal investigators and investigators, who have expressed their desire to analyze the footage and interview the witnesses.
