The Lore

In 1972, two Loveland, Ohio police officers independently reported seeing a 3-4 foot creature that resembled a humanoid frog crouching on a guardrail before leaping over it into the Little Miami River. The original sighting dates to 1955, when a businessman claimed to see three frog-faced beings under a bridge. One officer later recanted, calling it a large iguana.
