A new sighting of South America’s ‘creepy gnome’ has caused panic among locals after a group of youngsters claimed a ‘midget monster’ ran towards them at night.

The teens – who recorded footage of the freaky being on their mobile phone – said they are now “too terrified” to go out at night.

Meanwhile, back in the ol’ U.S. of A., I sit laughing at the cowardice of these Argentinians. The thing’s like two feet tall. Bigfoot’s poop is bigger than that.

The Sun has more “details” and video here.
