A SO-called creepy gnome has been filmed running towards a panicky group of teen boys, who say the mini-monster has them "too terrified" to go out at night, UK tabloid The Sun reports.
The footage was taken by Juan Carlos Roldan, who was out skylarking with his brother Javier and five friends, all aged 15-22 , in the small northern Argentine town of Clodomira last week.
Previous reports and videos of the creepy gnome were debunked as fabrications, according to rumour-busting website snopes.com.
The mobile camera images show a shadowy indistinct small figure with a pointed head advance in a crab-like manner across a street as the boys beat a hasty retreat.
See the footage
Juan referred the creature as something that looked like a dwarf.
Another of the boys boys described the incident to local reporters: It was walking sideways and was wearing dark clothes. But it was impossible to see its face because its face was covered in shadows.
We were messing about - singing and dancing - when we heard a loud rustling noise from behind us.
This tiny thing started running down Avenue San Martin at us. It had a pointy head and dark clothes.
It was a person of incredibly low stature. We filmed it then got scared and ran off.
This little thing was barking like a dog - but running sideways on two legs. It headed off towards the football stadium.
Photographic expert Aldegonda Alvarz, of Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, was reported by The Sun as saying that the video shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
This video footage seems credible," he said.
" We could be looking at another petido orejudo - small being.
