Snowman Walking
It was Christmas Eve in the small town of Navidad, Mexico. The streets were empty, save for the faint glow of twinkling lights that adorned the homes and trees. But in one house, a sense of unease settled over the family as they prepared for the night’s festivities.
The woman, Maria, had carefully decorated her home, placing a trio of large holiday-themed dolls near the tree. They seemed to watch over the room, their glassy eyes sparkling with an otherworldly intensity. As the night wore on, Maria’s husband, Carlos, decided to check the security cameras in case any curious critters had wandered into the yard.
That’s when he saw it. The footage showed the snowman figurine, a stuffed doll with a carrot nose and coal eyes, suddenly springing to life. It began to move, its stiff limbs jerking into motion as it slowly walked away from its companions. The camera captured every step and twitch of its makeshift limbs as if the fabric of reality had been torn apart.
The video was uploaded to TikTok, and soon, the world was abuzz with theories. Some said it was a sign of holiday magic, a paranormal event that defied explanation. Others claimed it was a clever hoax and trick of the light. But Maria knew the truth. She had shown the world that the snowman was just a stuffed doll, a mere prop in a festive display.
