A long-standing Alle-Kiski legend resurfaced Thursday when a native of the area posted a 1981 Valley News Dispatch article about the "Green Thing" in New Kensington.
Anthony Breznican posted the article saying it was published when he was a kid and noting the "Green Thing" was never found.
The article said the "Green Thing" may live in the sewer and the case was even taken to the police for investigation.
His followers had a field day with it.

Legend has it the mystery beast could return every couple of decades.

The "Green Thing" may have cousins across Western Pennsylvania.
