A mother claims to have captured a weird 'goblin' creature on camera as she was recording her child playing in the kitchen.

The clip of the bizarre creature, which was originally recorded four years ago, has now gone viral with over 11.5 million views.

In the video, a two-year-old child, named only as Benjamin, is playing on the tiled floor and looks towards the camera as his mum chats to him.

But moments after the clip starts, a tiny 'imp-like' creature suddenly runs out from a doorway behind Benjamin and disappears underneath a cupboard.

The mum screams loudly before the sound on the camera suddenly becomes distorted.

She then runs to look underneath the cupboard, where the weird creature appeared to disappear, but there is nothing there.

According to the family, who uploaded their video to YouTube, the creature left behind a foul smell and a yellowish liquid on the floor.

The family, who live in Mexico, claim the incident occurred in 2011. Since then, they have noticed their child talking to himself and his 'imaginary friend' more and more often and say the small 'elf' has a continued presence in their household.

But the rest of the internet wasn't so easily convinced.

One viewer said: "That was so fake!! If I would have seen that thing near my baby, I would have dropped the phone and picked him up so quick instead she keeps filming."

Another added: "Shadows don't add up or work together. Fake."

The bizarre clip has been watched more than 11.5 million times since it was uploaded last year.

Earlier this week, a weird animal with the 'body of a buffalo and a head of a crocodile' baffled the internet after being discovered in a remote village in Thailand.

Local villagers believe the bizarre creature will bring them good luck.
