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 Sun reports.

The little person — who 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.

I wonder what this really was.

We've got an urban legend back home in NW Michigan.  The Dog Man.  I know a person who swears they've seen it.  Scared the ever living bejeezus outta them.

A lot of these stories out there have a lot going for them.  Makes it hard not to believe them sometimes.

I think it is the Travelocity dude out checking out some new travel spot.  You never roam alone.   :-)
