"It was like a little person, no bigger than 2 feet, it had the face of an old man with a fairly large nose old ragged clothes that looked like they were handmade, and a hat something like a garden gnome."I received the following account:"I grew up in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. This happened to me, my little brother, and my cousin. I was about 14 years old and it was around dusk.We decided to go play basketball on the outside courts. It was still daylight when we first got there and we usually start heading home about dusk or when the court lights come on, it was only a few blocks away from our grandma's house.When the lights come on is usually when the bigger kids get the court to play, but this time we were fortunate enough to have the whole court to ourselves. We were shooting hoops like normal nothing out of the ordinary and the lights came on but we were having fun anyway, the game was 21 so two of us would stand to the side of the hoop depending on which direction the ball would go so it wouldn't roll to the street. and on one of these shots that my cousin made ball just missed the hoop and bounced behind it I managed to grab it before leaving the court when I saw a strange creature.It was like a little person, no bigger than 2 feet, it had the face of an old man with a fairly large nose old ragged clothes that looked like they were hand made and a hat something like a garden gnome would be one of those pointy hats but it wasn't straight up it hanged down to the side. It was crouched down almost like in hiding and when I got too close to it that's when it stood up, looked at me, and ran away from me.Believe me. my first thought was not to chase it. I was scared stiff but my cousin and little brother saw it too and ran. When it ran it was headed for the other side of the court. I couldn't believe the speed of it, for this thing to be so small it made it to the other side in mere seconds, almost a blink of an eye. It ran behind the post and it was gone I snapped out of it and I started to run home as well, and as I ran past that same post this thing ran behind. I turned to look to see if it was there but it was gone.When I got home my little brother and cousin had already told the adults there what had happened and they told us that these creatures are called Duendes. Apparently, there are different types of them too, so that's my experience." C**********ALIEN ENCOUNTERS!
