Argentine Gnome Is Just A Little Scary
A SCARY ASS gnome-thing was caught on video by a group of Argentine teenagers in General Guemes. The creature wears a pointed hat and has a strange, sideways walk. Says one of the teens, the sexily last-named José Alvarez:
“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.

This is what happens when you give an Olsen twin a tequila shot and a pointy hat. Ok, so. We’re not sure if this is a joke or not, seeing as we aren’t really hip to what the kids are down with these days. Do people usually film themselves on camera phones when they’re just sitting around, chilling in empty fields at night? Either way: HOLY SHIT. This is bringing back images from Don’t Look Now. Or maybe New York Minute. And, quite frankly, we want our mommy.

@anna: and all those desaparecidos didn’t actually get kidnapped and murdered, but are living in the suburbs of denver.

@anna
Do those magical creatures not have visas or something to leave Argentina?

I guess La Pequeña Amy Winehouse has been breeding, and not just with pillows. No, no, no!

my parents are from central america and they have always warned me about these gnomes (duendes) is what they called them. I kind of believed but now i know they are real. my grandmother saw them in panama circled around a bonfire. I’ve always been told they primarily attack children, take their souls and turn them into slaves.They are demons and not cute mythical creatures personally I never want to encounter them.Don’t you think its creepy hoe they only appear to children.
