The Crichton Leprechaun (known alternatively as
the Mobile Leprechaun) is a leprechaun purported to have been sighted in
March 2006 by the residents of the Crichton neighborhood in Mobile,
Alabama.[1] The
Crichton Leprechaun rose to international prominence after a news
story on the creature was aired by the local NBC affiliate, WPMI-TV, filed by reporter Brian Johnson, and
shot by photographer Kevin Sibley. [2] The
news story soon spread to internet video sites such as YouTube.com and Google Video.
