They say they've proved it to be false, but how? :confused:

Although, I should say, I'm not generally inclined to believe in walking grunting gnomes. Unless I've been drinking heavily.
 
I thought it was well funny, not really sure how people find a knee height thing creepy and scary though that walks sideways =\

Exactly my thoughts. They are afraid to go out because of some knee height thing, this just doesn't make sense :)
 
To further prove it's a hoax, the Argentinean newspaper that broke the story has a different version of the video up on its site – in this version, our intrepid youths shine a torch at the malevolent midget before scarpering, they don't in the Sun's version.

So basically, either it's real and they were spooked by the same gnome twice, or it's faked, they filmed a few versions and rather stupidly sent different ones out to different media sources. I know which of these two possibilities I'm inclined to believe. ;)

Besides, you can't really make much of the gnome out – he's too pixie-lated. :D
