An Argentine farm worker has shared a video capturing a small, bipedal creature he believes was a goblin that later attacked him, reports coasttocoastam.com.
The incident is said to have occurred last Thursday in the village of San Pablo. According to the worker, who remains unnamed, the strange encounter began when the creature suddenly emerged from the bushes on the farm.
He managed to film the bizarre creature from his position on top of the tractor he was driving. However, the situation took a terrifying turn when, as the worker later said, he exited the vehicle and came face to face with the creature.
In the city of San Pablo, province of Tucumán, in a rural area, a finca comes on the market and is called “a palos”.

Locals familiar with the story have speculated that the creature could be a ‘Duende’, a mythical goblin-like creature known in Latin American folklore for its mischievous and sometimes malevolent behavior.
Duendes are often described as small, humanoid figures that live in rural areas and forests and occasionally interact with humans in disturbing ways.
The worker claimed that the Duende suddenly descended from the sky and attacked him, hitting him and dragging his body several meters away from the tractor.
Reflecting on the terrifying ordeal, the shocked man noted that the creature displayed “inhuman” strength.
Fortunately, his life was saved when a colleague, noticing his absence, went looking for him and found him unconscious on the floor. When revived, the worker was reportedly hysterical and unable to clearly explain what had just happened.
To add weight to the story, photos are shown at the end of the video that reportedly show the injuries the worker suffered during the encounter. Since the images and story were posted online, they have gone viral on Argentinian social media, with many locals convinced the man has encountered a Duende.
However, skeptics claim that the entire incident is likely an elaborate hoax.
