Are duendes real or fake

Answer 1

about 25 years ago when i was a child i saw one in Costa Rica with my uncle Mauricio who was about my same age, i ran and yelled, my uncle Mario went ahead and checked around since we never thought of a duende, i thought i was looking at an old man staring at us from the window, but my uncle found nothing we also had a German Shepperd which never barked or anything... either was something i imagine (i doubt it because my uncle Mauricio saw it too) or it was something real...

Honestly i think they are real
