A curious piece of security camera footage from Mexico shows a pair of diminutive shadow figures crossing a road and some believe the baffling beings were goblins. According to a local media report, the strange scene was filmed earlier this year in the city of León before appearing online last week. In the eerie footage, a small shadow figure suddenly manifests on the side of a road before strolling across the street. Nearly the conclusion of its short trip, the tiny entity is joined by a second little being that scurries behind it.
Since being posted online, the footage has spread like wildfire on Mexican social media with all manner of theories for what the weird figures were. Given their small stature, many online observers have suggested that the shadow figures were folkloric goblins known as duendes. Other viewers have posited that the manner in which the beings manifested might be an indication that they were ghosts. Skeptics, of course, argue that the beings seen in the footage are either a clever fabrication or a technical glitch. What do you make of the spooky scene?
