A cryptid from near Loveland Ohio, legendary humanoid frog described as standing roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) tall.
The first report of this creature was in 1955 when a traveling salesman driving on an unnamed road was heading out of the Branch Hill neighborhood when he spotted three figures stood erect on their hind legs along the side of the road, each 3 to 4 feet (0.91 to 1.22 m) in height, with leathery skin and frog faces.
However, on other versions of the story, the creatures were spotted under or over a poorly lit bridge, and one held a wand over its head that fired a spray of sparks.
The next time this creature was spotted was by a police officer on March 3, 1972, around 1am,
police officer from the Loveland Police department, Ray Shockey was driving on Riverside Drive near the Totes boot factory and the Little Miami River when an unidentified animal scurried across the road in front of his vehicle.
The animal was fully illuminated in his vehicle's headlights, the officer described it as 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 m) long and about 50 to 75 pounds (25 to 35 kg), with leathery skin. He also reported spotting the animal "crouched like a frog" before it momentarily stood erect to climb over the guardrail and back down towards the river.
About two weeks later another police officer Mark Matthews reported seeing an unidentified animal crouched along the road in the same vicinity as Shockey's sighting. Matthews shot the animal, recovered the body, and put it in his trunk to show officer Shockey. According to Matthews, it was "a large iguana about 3 or 3.5 feet [0.9 or 1.1 m] long "with no tail.
He claimed that this story was always blown out of proportion and stand by his report threw out his life.
The next sighting was in 2016 by a couple playing Pokémon GO in Cincinnati which brings doubt to their claim, since it's supposed to be in Loveland Ohio, so this sighting is consider a hoax? They even took a picture of the creature.
So, my dear reader what do you think of this story?
Do you think it's a hoax or do you think this is a real creature? I will leave you with that question.
Good night.
