The Crichton Leprechaun is back in the spotlight—literally!
Thanks to some land clearing near Le Cren Street, the infamous Leprechaun Tree is now out of hiding, standing tall and visible for all to see.
For those who remember the 2006 Crichton Leprechaun sighting, this is the perfect opportunity to relive a Mobile legend.
A Legend Resurfaces
In 2006, the Crichton Leprechaun captured the hearts (and laughter) of Mobile when a news report showed locals claiming to have seen a leprechaun perched in a tree near St. Patrick’s Day.
The broadcast went viral, turning the Crichton neighborhood into the epicenter of a hilarious urban legend.
Crowds gathered, binoculars were raised, and the now-famous amateur sketch of the “leprechaun” was born.
And where did this magical mischief-maker supposedly hang out? In the Leprechaun Tree, of course.
Over the years, the tree has blended into its surroundings, covered by overgrowth and practically invisible—until now!
