A TOWN in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.

The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.

Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.

He said: “We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning.

“I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking.

"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.

"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."

Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.

He said: “This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.

"One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.”

Basically, there is this THING that looks like a gnome walking around this town in Argentina, 'terrorizing' the populace(although I haven't found anything other than that it walks around and makes itself known).

All in all, I find this whole thing hilarious, especially the fact that the girl screams at the end of the video.  WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF THIS?

I saw this article earlier.  The video cracked me up.  I really don't know what to make of it though.  Obviously I realize that there isn't a real gnome walking around attacking this town, but I still don't know what to make of that video.  I'm wondering if an insane midget escaped an asylum somewhere and is having fun in this town?

I don't know man, that was genuinely creepy even if it was fake... like, that was some Silent Hill meets Something Wicked This Way Comes shit.  I'd probably scream too if I saw a sideways walking pointy head midget walking through the grass at night.

Shit, maybe it's the TRAVELLING GNOME??

Yeah it was pretty creepy, I think it looks too small to be a dwarf and I doubt it is a midget. I think the kids might be pulling some hoax here.



Haha honestly imagine walking home from a party and some kids are SCREAMING HOLY HELL WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT and there are reports all over town about some creepy dwarf and you're just some poor guy walkin home.

seriously I thought this would be some kind of creepy cryptid but it's actually a really cool gnome.

but if this turns to be a viral marketing campaign by expedia I'll be pissed!

I can't watch the video right now (I am at work and behind the desk) but the article was pretty funny.

Argentinians must be really sad people to think that a midget at night is something superstitious or mythical.
