Leprechaun Loose in Alabama
Status: Undetermined
Some residents of Mobile, Alabama are claiming that a leprechaun is loose in their neighborhood. It shows up in the branches of a tree at night. Apparently it can't be photographed, but the thumbnail shows an "amateur sketch" of what people say it looks like. The NBC 15 news broadcast that covered this interesting phenomenon reports that: "eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night. If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears." Make sure that you catch the guy who appears towards the end of the report who has "a special leprechaun flute which has been passed down from thousands of years ago from my great, great grandfather who is Irish."

The flute looks like a dirty piece of PVC pipe. Perhaps this is an elaborate setup for April Fools Day?

It's like the mothman, but makes a lot less sense.

I'm sure he's only looking for his Lucky Charms.

Looks like an acorn. I guess what is really loose in Alabama, is a screw.

Looks like some kind of critter...

The image on that paper looks exactly like the Virgin Mary. I think they're on to something.

"Leprechaun Loose in Alabama"
Well, there is SOMETHING loose in Alabama...

It's an alien invasion.
Posted by Tru in Other Words on Fri Mar 24, 2006 at 10:05 AM
I think it is a alien. I have seen something similar to that a few years ago, in Bassett Virginia. It was glowing, fluorescent green. I was not alone when I saw this. I have not been able to come up with any other explanations as to what it was. A friend and I stopped on the side of the road, at night, on a country road, in Bassett Virginia. He had to "take a leak" and this little man "thing" was on the hood of our car. That is the God's honest truth, and I just want to know if anyone else has seen anything similar to it. I am a believer. Once, you see something like that, so clear, right in front of your eyes...No one can tell me that "these little people" whatever they are,don't exist. I am not on drugs and we both saw it!!! You people had better start believing! We obviously are not the only "beings" here on earth. God bless

I believe in midgets.

That looks like the Dover Demon wearing a little hat.
Anonymous, what did the little "man thing" look like?

The leprechaun is obviously just a crackhead, and so are the people who think its really a leprechaun. But if you find that gold, holler at me. 323 love,

This comment is for Miles Soboroff!!!!
You are obviously the "crackhead", or you wouldn't post such a demeaning statement! There were children in that video, who thought that it was a leprechaun!!! Let people have their fun, it takes a "drama queen" like you, to stir up something negative! Go post somewhere else!

I waited at least a week. No jokes about inbreeding? /sigh...

That settles it, then. Leprechaun.

Just to echo what "Anonymous" said above, it does look like an alien. Like "Anonymous" I have seen aliens too, but usually I have seen them wearing either Santa Claus or Uncle Sam hats. Some sitings in Novermber have indicated that they might put on pilgrim hats. This only proves that aliens have been studying out calendars and have memorized when our holidays are. What other proof do you need aside from that chilling amateur sketch?
If y'all seen one say yeahhh!

I think they smoke green crack in Alabama.
Posted by Lucky on Wed Mar 29, 2006 at 11:17 AM
The people in the video do not look like "crack heads" or "crack smokers"! What is with you people? Why label someone with that? Because they are black? That one lady in the video said that, and you people are taking that negative statement and "branding" everyone in the video, obviously because they are black. well, I need to let you in on something. The majority of the "crack heads" where I live are all WHITE! SO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU CALL A CRACK HEAD!!!!Well, this is the last post for me on this site. I am a black woman and this is clearly turning into a racial thing.

...and "branding" everyone in the video, obviously because they are black.
Anon,
I am not calling anyone a crackhead, or making any observation at all about the video, but to claim that it is "obvious" that race is the reason for someone applying a label is racist. Perhaps they are "branded" as crackheads because they live in Alabama. Or because many of them wear baseball hats. Or because they have cameras. Or because they think there's a leprechaun living in the trees...
And the lady in the video who refers to crackheads isn't calling the people watching crackheads, she's calling the leprechaun a crackhead.

How do you know that is not a Leprechaun or some other kind of "being" in that tree? You don't do you? You had better start believing, because I am not in Alabama, and I know what my friend and I saw, and it's real!! Believe it or not. One day you may see one of them and you will become a believer, LOL
I wonder what you have to say then?

"You had better start believing, because I am

Anon,
I have to start believing, just because you are not in Alabama?
I have no trouble at all believing (dang, that word starts looking strange after typing it a few times!) that some kind of "being" lives in the tree. I just have a tough time with magical type beings, that disappear when people try to see it, because logic tells me that if it didn't want to be seen, it wouldn't be. And you have to admit that most of the people in the video who claim to have seen it certainly don't add a lot of credibility to the claim...

I can't get over the part where the little girl says that she saw him tip his hat......
And that last guy who had the flute, said that it was handed down from his Great Great grandfather THOUSANDS of years ago..... how long did his dad, grandpa, and greatgrandpa live?
Plus, I didn't know black people were native to ireland

Anon, you're pretty funny. I like your humor. You sure know how to kid. You do that whole "indignation" thing really well. You're good. And your credulity, I love it. Carry on.

No, it's not. No one even mentioned race until you came in here and assumed people were talking about African Americans.
