Creatures of the Hills: Duendes and Spir...

Horror Stories
About this episode
In this horror story, we'll explore the forests and rivers of Mexico exploring stories of duendes, "the little people", that have haunted generations in Latin America. Where did these stories come from and were they always considered works of the devil? I'll uncover chilling accounts of stolen souls, colonial battles over indigenous spirits, and the survival of ancient folklore in the shadows.
