Gnome From Hell in Argentina!
www.foxnews.com
 Jose Alvarez of General Guemes, Argentina was hanging out with his friends taking video with his cell phone when they heard someone throwing
rocks.
"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" said Jose. Jose caught the gnome on video. (visit the link for the full news article)

According to Jose others have now come forward reporting that they too had seen the (gnome, leprechaun, demon...or whatever name you what to call it),
or . "This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighborhood now."
I must admit.....Im not sure what it could be.

Both links aren't working for me. The second you provided says that it can't be found. I really want to see a gnome!

Didn't take them long to simply pawn it off as a midget dressed like a gnome, at least according to the link like 2 posts above this(with the
screenshot) What evidence do they have it is a midget besides the size? What evidence is there it isn't? Looking forward to more info if there is
any more

Thanks! What are the chances this guy was filming at the time? This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, but I'm going with hoax.

Are people really not thinking to themselves that this "gnome" walks just like some of the dwarfs/midgets/small people?
You see it all the time on tv, pranks where tiny people are dressed up and scare the living daylights out of people. There are some real small people
in this world, and believe it or not they are'nt all lepricauns!
Sorry but i'm not buying this one.

You never know... really, you don't.
A race of real hobbits was found (extinct) on an island. They are (or were) real. 'Gnomes' is just a silly word...
No way to prove that anyone really saw it. I remember a story in the U.S. where a town was going nuts because a leprechaun was sitting in a tree...
the citizens interviewed were NOT very bright or articulated... but you could tell they believed they saw something.

Im leading towards hoax. Its almost Blair Witches. Who knows? This is just unexplainable.
On a side note. Why would Fox News run a story like this?

Creepy?.... Scary?
I just started LOL after I watched that!
You didn't?
They are screaming like they are little girls at this little guy sidestepping across the road!
Come on, watch it again and tell me it's not funny. Here's the link to the video. Watch it again.
The Sun - Gnome Video
Oh well, I thought it was funny.
And how serious do people take "The Sun" in the UK, apparently that is where the source for Fox News is. I don't know too much about this news
source.

They also ran the story about the leprechaun in a tree that spooked a neighborhood
STILL: There could be something to these stories.

ummm....no!
They weren't 'hobbits'. Hobbits are make believe. What you are talking about have been named: Homo floriensis and were real. Sure, they
were popularised by the name 'hobbits', but this can tend to lead one up the garden path and give rise to false perceptions of reality

That, really does look so funny, it's just got to be fake, IMO. Also, as for what it might be, well, apart from a box or a midget, could be a
silhouette of a grunt from Halo(obviously CG'd in).
