It’s folklore, not unlike believing that you’ve been infected by a duende.
He can haunt a house as effectually as an old-time ghost, and a Casa del Duende may go begging for other tenants.
He looked at the duende carefully, and saw that it resembled a very small man with long hair and a white beard.
The duende gave Mabait two or three isabels6 every day, and by the end of the month he had saved much money.
