'Creepy Gnome' Terrorizes South American Town
 'Creepy gnome' terrorizes town By VIRGINIA WHEELER Published: Today 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 midget - which 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. He said: “We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning. “I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking. "Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones. "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." Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome. He said: “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.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...icle902014.ece

This is a Dark wizard that is looking for the bones of his father, an enemy, and a servant to return him to form.
We are in trouble.

I think *terrorizes* is a bit of a strong term, and an overreaction on the folks in the town....We're talking about a funny looking midget in a pointy hat, what's so terrifying about that?
I would think "Creepy Gnome Mildly Amuses South American Town" would be a more rational response.
