The state of Veracruz is one of the regions with the most legends and myths about strange beings in the country, and the appearance of a chaneque in 2025 has made this clear.
Via TikTok, user Paco Arteaga shared a video about the appearance on camera of this figure stalking the Tejería area, west of the city.
What does the chaneque seen in the Tejería area of Veracruz look like?
The images show a humanoid figure with large eyes, wrinkled skin, and pointy ears emitting indescribable sounds in a hoarse voice while trapped in a rocky area.
However, this clip quickly went viral on social media, where users questioned whether or not it was a chaneque, as it could have been created using artificial intelligence.
What is a chaneque and in what area of Veracruz are they found?
A chaneque, also known as "Mexican goblins," are mythological figures from the Mayan culture, associated with the underworld and supposedly in charge of protecting the country's forests.

Therefore, they are primarily seen in the mountainous areas of the state of Veracruz, such as Atoyac, Orizaba, Amatlán de los Reyes, among others.
Although they are usually harmless, they like to lose sight of people walking alone in the forest, causing them to become disoriented and even forget why they were there.
