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.”

Strange.

Maybe it's the Travelocity gnome scouting out new hotels. :teddyr:

It was probably a person with that disease Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis both have, just trying to mess with them.  If it was a teenager with that disease then definitley

So he films about 45 seconds of his friends sitting and talking, but then when he sees the gnome, he turns the camera off almost immediately?  Um, okay.  Loved the guy screaming in bloody terror from seeing some 1 foot tall thing in the grass.  Especially considering that it was kind of cute.

I would've tackled it, it might've given me gold or wishes or something.
