9 Creepy Gnome





In 2008, a creepy gnome was caught on film in Argentina. Jose Alvarez – who filmed the gnome – told newspaper, El Tribuno, that they caught the creature on film 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.”

Other locals have since come forward to say they have spotted the gnome, and the town has been covered in a pall of fear ever since the first sighting.

i love this photograph--it's a fantastic nature shot. full harvest moon. hawk perched, watching, looking for dinner to scamper by below...
but if you enlarge it a bit and then look at it from across the room, it almost looks like an eye watching you.
see it?

The gnome is a little creepy.

Matt, that was my first reaction as well.

They had similar clouds with a storm that delayed a game at Kansas State on September 25th.

Here is a link to cut and paste to see the image.

Aw, this was a very good post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a top
notch article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don't manage to get anything done.
