Okay Travelocity..It's not funny anymore.

Apparently there's an actual gnome creeping around at night over in Salta, Argentina. The Sun has a brief video that shows a dark small figure with a long pointy hat walking sideways into the night. According to the kid that filmed the supposed gnome,

"This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now. One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.”

Now I'm not too sure about anyone else, but seeing a gnome crab walk into the street out of the grass right in front of me at night would scare the hell out of me. I know we all like gnomes, think they're cute little old guys with sweet beards and hats, but think about it. Really think about it for a second. If you're a really old guy that has a huge beard and a long pointy hat, do you think you're going to be nice? No. You're going to pretend to be, and then right when a human comes up to feed you, or poke your hat, you're going to attack. Not cool. Stupid gnomes...
