Сунчо Коррал Santiago del Estero
Argentina



Locals claim that a small creature appears in dark places and beats people. The police issued a statement asking people not to walk alone in the dark.


Do demons exist? It seems to be in Santiago del Estero, yes. According to the residents of Suncho Corral, it looks like there is a creature there that infects people. Locals began to call him "dwarf", and the police warn people not to walk alone at night.


The newspaper Nuevo Diario de Santiago del Estero reports that residents of Suncho Corral claim that the imp appears in the wee hours, adding that he also attacked a child on his way to visit a friend.


Another local resident was struck by this creature while he was riding his bike. The creature allegedly wore "a huge hat and had big ears."


Father Juan Cruz Farinha of the Church of San Miguel Arcangel believes that it could be a "product of magic", and if so, "The Church could try to use exorcism to expel demons from the possessed body." However, he explained that:

"... nothing in this case suggests demons. It can be many other things, for example, fantastic fantasies or confusion of the residents of Suncho. Therefore, I ask everyone to take things calmly and, above all, believe in God. All phenomena have an explanation."

Argentina: Residents of Santiago [del Estero] Terrified by “Striking Imp”

Local residents state that the small creature appears in dark places and pummels people. Police has issued a statement asking people not to walk alone in the dark.

Do imps exist? It seems that they do in Santiago del Estero. According to residents of Suncho Corral, there appears to be a creature that hits people. Locals have taken to calling it “the dwarf”, and police have cautioned people to avoid walking alone at night.

The Nuevo Diario de Santiago del Estero newspaper reports that residents of Suncho Corral allege that the imp appears in the pre-dawn hours, adding that it also attacked a child on its way to visit a friend’s house.

Another local was startled by the creature as he went for a ride in his bike. The creature supposedly wore “an enormous hat and had large ears.”

Father Juan Cruz Fariña of the San Miguel Arcangel church believes that it could be “a product of magic” and if so, “The Church could attempt an exorcism in an effort to expel demons from the possessed body.” However, he explained that “nothing about this case suggests a possession. It could be many other things, such as fanciful imaginings or confusion by the people of Suncho. I therefore ask everyone to take matters calmly and above all, to have faith in God. There is an explanation to all phenomena.”

[Note: Cases involving supernatural entities variously described as “imps”, “dwarves”, “goblins”, etc. have emerged from Argentina on many occasions. Skeptics have scoffed at these accounts, decrying the ignorance of the local population. These manifestations are nonetheless recurrent and appear to select certain areas of the vast Argentinean countryside, such as the city of Saenz Peña or Santiago del Estero. No photograph or sketch accompanies this report. In a certain way, the description given of this imp is reminiscent of the “little man wearing a hat reminiscent of a Mexican hat” in Farmersville, Texas, in 1913. – SC]
