  Speaker 1: 6. Living Gnome In 2008, a creepy gnome was caught
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: on film in Argentina. Jose Alvarez, who filmed the gnome,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: reported that they caught the creature on film while larking
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: about in their hometown of General Guemes, Argentina. He stated,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: one in the morning. I began to film a bit
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking. Suddenly,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we heard something. a weird noise as if someone was
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: throwing stones. We looked to one side and saw that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the grass was moving. To begin with, we thought it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was a dog, but when we saw this gnome-like figure
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: begin to emerge, we were really afraid. Other locals have
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: since come forward to say that they have spotted the gnome,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and the town has been covered in a pall of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: fear ever since the first sighting. 5. The Devil's Footprints
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: On the night of February 9th, 1855, after a light snowfall,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a series of hoof-like marks appeared in the snow. These footprints,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: measuring 1.5 to 2.5 inches wide and 8 inches apart,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: continued throughout the countryside for a total of over 100
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: miles and, although veering at various points, for the greater
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: part of their course followed straight lines. Houses, rivers, haystacks,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and other obstacles were traveled straight over, and footprints appeared
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: on the tops of snow-covered roofs and high walls which
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: waned the footprints' path, as well as leading up to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and exiting various drainpipes of as small as a four-inch diameter.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: There were also rumors about sightings of a devil-like figure
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in the Devon area during the scare. Many townspeople armed
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: themselves and attempted to track down the beast responsible without success. Recently,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: on the night of March 12, 2009, More strange marks,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: corresponding to those left in 1855, were found again in Devon.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: In September 1931, the Irving family claimed to hear persistent
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: scratching and rustling noises behind their farmhouse's wooden wall panels.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: At first, they thought it was a rat, but then
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the unseen creature began making different sounds, sometimes spitting like
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a ferret or growling like a dog or gurgling like
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a baby. The creature soon revealed an ability to speak
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and introduced itself as Jeff, a mongoose. It claimed to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have been born in New Delhi, India, in 1852. According
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to Vori, the daughter, who was the only person to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: see him properly, Jeff was the size of a small
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: rat with yellowish fur and a large bushy tail. Jeff
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: variously claimed to be an extra, extra clever mongoose and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: earthbound spirit, and a ghost in the form of a weasel.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He once said, I am a freak. I have hands
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and I have feet, and if you saw me, you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: would faint. You'd be petrified, mummified, turned into stone or
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a pillar of salt. Vori Irving, who took Jeff under
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: her wing, died in 2005. In an interview published late
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in life, she claimed that Jeff was not her creation.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Number three. James Warson On September 3rd, 1873, a man
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: named James Warson had accepted a challenge to race in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: record time from the town of Leamington to the town
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of Coventry, a 20-mile trek. He had been boasting of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: his foot skills and then was asked to prove them, so,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: with sporting good spirits, he set about to do just that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Two friends, Hammerson Burns and Barham Wise, followed behind in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a horse-drawn carriage. Burns brought along his camera. Warson was
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: never out of their sight and would often turn around
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: while running to exchange some friendly words with the two riders.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Running in the middle of the road, Warson suddenly appeared
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to stumble and pitch forward, having time enough for only
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: one short, piercing scream. Wise later said it was the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: most ghastly sound either of us have ever heard. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: as Warson pitched forward with that terrible cry... Instead of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: falling to the ground as he appeared to be about
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to have done, he completely and totally vanished in mid-fall
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: before ever striking the ground. The road itself told the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: story and Wise took the pictures to prove it. There,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the soft dirt, were Warson's footprints. They led down
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the middle of the road, looked as if the runner stumbled,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and there they disappeared. A search was called and the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: locals scoured the area for James. Bloodhounds used in the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: search were strangely reluctant to approach the spot where Warson disappeared.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He was never seen or heard from again. Number 2
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: August 7th, 1973 will remain a day of mystery and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: possible tragedy. Several people in New Mexico that day, using
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: CB radios, heard the disturbing cries for help from a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: little boy. He said his name was Larry and that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he was trapped in a red and white pickup truck.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He was with his father who he thinks had a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: heart attack and was dead. He said that they had
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: been on a rabbit hunting trip when his father collapsed
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: on the steering wheel. Larry claimed that the truck had
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: flipped over into a ravine and both doors were jammed
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: shut and he was unable to escape. The boy's signal
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: faded in and out over the next few days and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was also heard in California, Wyoming, and Arizona. In a panic,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Larry began to flip between channels crying for help. police
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: began a search and rescue team. One helicopter pilot who
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was searching the Manzano Mountains in New Mexico for Larry
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: says that he made contact with a little boy calling
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: for help, but he called himself David, not Larry. A
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: family traveling from Missouri was reported missing on August 11th,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and they had a son named Larry, but they were
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: eventually found. On August 12th, an army sergeant claimed to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: have spoken to the boy for three hours, but could
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: not get him to give more information about himself. like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: his phone number or address, etc. No more contacts could
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: be made with Larry. It is presumed his battery died.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The search was called off on August 13th. The police
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: stated that there was no concrete evidence. They also say
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that the boy, if real, may have died sooner than
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the transmission stopped, and that the subsequent transmissions from different states,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: some were even heard in Canada, were hoaxes. Many believe
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it was a hoax, but those who spoke to Larry
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: swear to this day that it wasn't, that the emotion
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and the crying they heard from little Larry was no
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: doubt the real thing. Number one. On November 29th, 1970,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a professor and his daughters were hiking in the Isdalin
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Valley in Norway when they came across the partially charred
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: remains of a young woman. She was surrounded by a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: large quantity of sleeping pills and bottles of gasoline. All
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the clothing she was wearing had the tags removed, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: her fingerprints had been sanded off. A dental screening was done,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and some of her dental work was done using techniques
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: only found in Latin America. She was eventually traced back
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to two suitcases at the NSB train station in Bergen.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Her luggage contained a prescription lotion with the doctor's name removed,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and a few pieces of broken glass with partial fingerprints.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and 500 German marks, which is the equivalent of 350
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: US dollars, under the lining of one of the suitcases.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: They discovered the woman had traveled by train across Europe
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: under nine different names. There were diaries found with her
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: things that contained cryptic notes that the police deciphered were
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: codes listing the places that she had been. Witnesses say
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: she wore wigs as she traveled and spoke several languages
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: such as French, German, English, and Dutch. She stayed at
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: several hotels in Bergen. After checking into each, she would
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: change rooms several times, always requiring a balcony, and would
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: always order porridge with milk for room service. A local
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: man came to the police saying that five days prior
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to the body's discovery, he came across a very elegant
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: woman while hiking. He noted that she wasn't dressed for
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: being outdoors, much less on a remote hiking trail, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that her face was distorted with fear. He claimed that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: she attempted to mouth something to him, but was followed
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: closely by two large men in black coats. The man
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: waited 32 years to come public with this story, stating
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that when he contacted the police, the officer who answered
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: told him, Forget her. She was dispatched. The case will
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: never be solved.
