Yes, I've seen this many times when killing the crocs up there. The mob will disappear into the ceiling, then walk over the ceiling to the area in the image shown with the pin, then drop down and walk back along the red line. If it's a frog, get ready for a train. If it's a croc, just turn the other way and wait.
