The two reactions $^{12}\mathrm{C}$($^{4}\mathrm{He}$,$^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$)$^{4}\mathrm{He}$ and $^{9}\mathrm{Be}$($^{4}\mathrm{He}$, $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$)$n$ were measured using an array of four double-sided strip detectors. Excited states in $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ were reconstructed filtered by the condition that the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-decay proceeded via the $^{8}\mathrm{Be}$ ground state. In both measurements, evidence was found for a new state at 13.3(0.2) MeV with a width 1.7(0.2) MeV. Angular correlation measurements from the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$($^{4}\mathrm{He}$, $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ + $^{4}\mathrm{He}$)$^{4}\mathrm{He}$ reaction indicates that the state may have ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={4}^{+}$.
