It's the top of the hour.

And it's Toucher Unrich, presented by Van Toul Sportsbook on 985 the Sports Hub.

Well, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, crowds are coming by the dozens to get an up-close view at what some say as a piece of Irish folklore.

Some people in the Crichton area of Mobile say a leprechaun has taking up residents in their neighborhood.

A leprechaun.

NBC 15's Brian Johnson has more.

Curiosity leads to large crowds in Mobile's Crichton community.

Many of you bring binoculars, cancorders, even camera phones to take pictures.

To me, it looks like a lebecon to me.

I got to look up in the tree.

Who else in the lepercon say, yeah? Yeah! Eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night.

If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears. This amateur sketch resembles

what many of you say the leprechaun looks like.

Others find it hard to believe and have come up with their own theories and explanations for the image.

My theory is that casting a shadow from the other limb.

Could be a crackhead that got hold to the wrong stuff,

and they told him to get up in a tree and play a leprechaun.

This guy helping to direct traffic says he's prepared for his encounter with the leprechaun.

He's suited up from head to toe.

This waters off spells right here.

This is a special leprechaun flute, which has been passed down from thousands of years ago from my great-great-grandfather who was Irish.

Others just came to get lucky in hopes a pot of gold may be buried under this tree.
