A spooky video circulating on social media in Mexico shows what appears to be some kind of shadow figure with a set of glowing eyes lurking behind a boy playing hide-and-seek. The unsettling scene was reportedly filmed in the town of Las Puentes in the municipality of Coatepec. In the eerie footage, a little girl runs up to a boulder and declares "I found you," which causes the boy to emerge from his hiding place. Chillingly, when the youngster comes into view, a sizeable dark form resembling a figure with glowing eyes can be seen popping up behind him.
Since being posted on TikTok last week, the strange video has amassed a staggering five million views with observers offering an array of theories as to what unfolded in the footage. As one might imagine, some have suggested that the unnerving interloper is a ghost, a demon, or some other supernatural entity. More skeptical viewers, however, have argued that the 'figure' is simply an optical illusion. What do you make of the creepy anomaly spotted during the hide-and-seek game?
