The Chaneques, or Duende, are tiny sprite like creatures in Mexican/Aztec folklore. They are said to guard parts of the forest, and also the land of those that give them gifts. These creatures are mischievous and can be dangerous if not appeased by offerings. The name Chaneques translates to "those who inhabit dangerous places" or "owners of the house" and that's where our story begins. Jose and his friend decided to move out when they were 18, but little did they know that the house they were renting was not exactly empty. Soon after moving in, Jose would hear foots steps in the house when he was alone and he and his roommate started noticing things going missing. Each roommate had their own room which they kept locked, and still things would disappear. Jose, having some knowledge of the chaneques, began to leave small offerings to them, but his roommate did not and soon became the target of these devious entities. The roommate eventually stopped sleeping over at the house after waking up with a small bite mark on his leg. As the news of these occurrences began to spread to their friend group, they began to investigate, eventually finding a small hole in his basement wall that seemed to lead on forever and having windows knocked on and more things moved around in the house. Even with all the events going on in the house Jose decided to have a party one day and that's when the creature was finally spotted by multiple people, causing a panic and a direct contact story that will leave you questioning everything. Join us as we listen to Jose's nightmarish tale of Chaneques in suburbia.
