Legend the Goblin.

Although hammocks have been, even today, quite common in the southern states of Mexico for hundreds of years, in Chiapas people tend to take them down at night.

There was a time when a strange phenomenon began to happen. At the cattle ranch called Las Brisas, a man surprised his family by being angry and with a machete that seemed to challenge the air. He had been resting in his hammock when a strong struggle crashed into the wall, apparently this scene began to be repeated systematically in numerous homes. The conjectures concluded that there were spirits that were somehow infatuated with the issue of hammocks, perhaps someone who had died in this way. Since then, in Chiapas it is not customary to sleep in them. This spirit was nicknamed El Duende.
