Across Latin America, countless people tell stories of small, human-like beings who live in the forests, mountains, and even inside the walls of old homes. They’re called Duendes — mischievous, magical, and sometimes malevolent. Some say they protect nature. Others say they steal children. But thousands claim to have seen them.
In this episode of Cryptid Files, host Paige Carter explores the folklore, eyewitness accounts, and regional variations of the Duende — from Mexico and Guatemala to Chile and the Philippines. Are they spirits, ancient beings, or something far older hiding in plain sight? Through historical records, cultural anthropology, and modern encounters, we uncover why this legend refuses to fade away.
Because some myths don’t die — they evolve.
