Where have all the green monsters gone?
Yes, there are little people*. But Leprechauns mostly live in the lore and in the movies.
Walt Disney visits Ireland to recruit a Leprechaun for a forthcoming movie.
This week in Mobile, Alabama (hardly a focus of Irish culture), locals, according to The Anomalist Newsline, were reporting a Leprechaun sighting, creating traffic jams around the location:
A dead end street in Mobile has become very busy the last couple of days because of people flocking to look at a tree. The street is Lecren Street off of Bayshore Avenue. The crowds started gathering around sunset. You could hear many people talking.
One said, "It’s sitting ,uh, its sitting right up there, its right there. It’s a face, a face, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the frowning mouth." Another says, "A leprechaun, it looked like, last night it looked just like a little leprecaun. Its still up there."
The people who see the "leprechaun" say you can see it better at night. And that’s when the crowds really start coming out. One bystander says, "Now step back so you all can see it. If you just look right there in the middle you see it, right there, you see it, do you see it? Y’all see it?" Another person says, "Looks like he’s smiling right now." Still another says, "I wanna see it. If its here, I wanna see it. When’s it supposed to pop up?"
Ricardo Thomas lives across the street from the tree. He says, "Actually, my brother came in from Atlanta last Sunday night and we were standing out, standing around, and he said, ‘you’re not going to believe this, but it looks like a man is up in that tree."
…Another person said, "I thought he tipped his hat."
But this Leprechuan was not green, and, well, not very cryptozoological, I suppose.
Yes, there exist green creatures too. Merbeings, real, imagined, and fictional, live among us, perhaps unappreciated in cryptozoology, but a force to deal with, nevertheless.
As to green species of roaming Bigfoot, well, I’m afraid these only dwell in the realm of photoshopping magic. But wait, have you heard of the stories from Florida, in the 1960s, of Skunk Apes sighted covered in glowing green algae? True indeed, from the Holopaw and Brooksville area.

As to finding proof of the little people, don’t forget, Peter Brown and his team did…in a cave in Flores, Indonesia! Take a yard or meter stick. Hold it on the floor next to yourself. That’s how tall the little people really are.
National Geographic’s representation of Homo floresiensis, otherwise labeled "Hobbit" by the media. Of course, the first type specimen is not shown well above, for LB1 is not a man. Richard Klyver’s drawing (below) of a female floresiensis may be closer to how she appeared.
