**FACT CHECK: VIRAL RUMOR**
**CLAIM:** A video circulating on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) claims to show a creature dubbed "Mina the Hollower" emerging from a sinkhole in rural Argentina. The video shows a gaunt, humanoid figure with elongated limbs and glowing yellow eyes crawling out of the darkness.
**RATING: ❌ FAKE**
**VERDICT:** The video is a deepfake generated by AI. Digital forensics show inconsistent shadow physics, unnatural limb-joint bending, and a glitch in the creature's eye reflection (the left eye reflects a digital watermark). Additionally, the sinkhole location has been geolocated to a known film set for an upcoming indie horror game, *Mina the Hollower* by Yacht Club Games—a reference to their 2022 crowdfunded title. The "sighting" was a marketing stunt, not a real cryptid. No missing persons reported in the area.
