Did you know? In Florida, a mischievous goblin is said to lure children into the swamps, and those who follow may never return. In the small rural towns of Florida, people whisper about El Duende, a tiny man dressed in old, tattered clothes, with a wide hat, twisted smile, and feet turned backwards. He appears near rivers and mangroves, playing a flute that enchants anyone who hears it. One afternoon, a young girl named Marisol vanished while picking flowers near the edge of the swamp. Her friends heard soft music and saw a little man waving from the shadows, his eyes glowing green in the sunlight. Mesmerized, Marisol followed him deep into the cypress trees. By sunset, locals searched the wetlands and found only her shoe and a tiny footprint leading to a hollow tree. Some say El Duende keeps the children who follow him. Others return lost and silent, unable to remember what they saw. Now, in Florida, families warn: If you hear flute music in the woods or see a tiny man with backward feet, turn away and run home. Because El Duende is always looking for his next playmate.
