Duende | The Gnome

Over the years I have heard many stories about the “duende” and even had an experience of my own in my youth but have any of you seen one? Where I live theirs a large population of Latin Americans, well actually there all the population, so a duende story is not far or hard to come by. Bellow is clip that is fairly convincing:

In Latin American folklore, Duendes are evil, green or brown skinned, red or black eyed little monsters that stand about six inches tall, who live inside walls of homes, forests, wild places, ranches, barns and especially in the walls of young children bedroom’s. It is said that they attempt to convince children to misbehave in order to steal there soul, but from my own observation I believe there more like vampires or carnivorous- eating human skin or hair or sucking blood to stay alive.
