A "CREEPY gnome" said to wander around a village at night is terrifying locals so much that many fear leaving their homes after dark, according to reports.
Locals in the Argentinean town of General Guemes claim the "gnome" – which wears a pointy hat and walks sideways like a crab – has been seen walking their streets by many people, UK newspaper The Sun reported.
Local teenager Jose Alvarez claimed to have filmed the gnome on his mobile phone while chatting to friends in the middle of the night.

"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones,†Mr Alvarez said.
“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.â€Â
The grainy footage shows a dark figure slowly moving across a street.
Mr Alvarez said other locals had also seen the strange figure.
“This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.â€Â
