The Loveland Frogman is an interesting cryptid in Ohio folklore. It has been spotted in Loveland, Ohio several times since the first sighting, when a traveling salesman was driving along a road, late at night on May 5th, 1955, and spotted three humanoid figures on the side of the road. He described them as being around 4 feet tall, standing erect on their hind legs with leathery skin and frog faces. He also claimed that they were standing under a dimly lit bridge and one of them held a wand over its head which fired a spray of sparks.
In March of 1972, a Loveland police officer was driving on Riverside Drive near the Totes boot factory and the Little Miami River when an animal scurried across the road in front of his vehicle. The animal was fully illuminated in his headlights, and he described it as 3 to 4 feet long and about 50 to 75 pounds, with leathery skin. He reported spotting the animal "crouched like a frog" before it momentarily stood erect to climb over the guardrail and back down towards the river.
In August of 2016, a teenage couple were playing Pokémon Go near Lake Isabella when they spotted something strange. At first, they thought that it was just a giant frog, until it stood up on both legs. One teen managed to take a short video and a couple of pictures of what they discovered, but what they captured was a grainy video of two reflective eyes. A slight outline of a bipedal figure can be seen, yet the video and photos are up for debate as to their authenticity.
Is it a hoax or the mistaken identity of an iguana missing its tail? This could be one of Ohio’s most interesting cryptids. Jessica has remote viewed the Loveland Frogman and will reveals her results here, on “Remote Viewing Investigations with Jessica Jones.”
