Evil Gnome Video
I found a copy of that Evil Gnome video on YouTube. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:
I’m still trying to figure out what the thing is. I don’t buy into the notion that it’s a viral marketing gimmick; I think if it were it would be of better quality. I’m still of the opinion that it’s a genuine video (as in a video shot by some random guys instead of a viral marketing company), just not a video of a creepy gnome like creature lurking around a town in Argentina. Judging by the nearby foliage, I’m thinking the critter looks to be about a foot tall, which rules out even the shortest primordial dwarf. My best guess at this point is that it’s some sort of small monkey. I’d even consider the possibility that if it is a monkey, someone might have dressed it up in some weird outfit. I’m just about 99% sure it’s not a supernatural critter of any sort.
I’m doubting real evil gnome too. The only thing I found was the Sun article which was referenced on Coast to Coast AM’s site. The guy’s shriek at the end is just too damn funny. I live for that sort of thing when I do our haunted house. The whole thing smells of a Punk’d type show only the camera is a cell phone and the video pretty crappy. I suspect a drunken little person is just having a go at some folks. Or maybe he isn’t drunk. Either way real members of the Faerie Realm would probably drag their victims off through some crack in a wooded hill thus leaving no witnesses. Drunken dwarves have no such abilities I think.
