Loveland Frog

The Loveland Frog is a human-like creature with the face of a frog that was allegedly first spotted in Loveland, Ohio. It is generally considered a cryptid—a creature rumored or reported to be living, but with no confirmable proof.

The first sighting was in 1955. A businessman saw three or four 3-foot tall frog-faced creatures squatting under a bridge near Loveland. They were grotesque: they had wrinkles instead of hair on their heads, lopsided chests, and wide mouths without lips, like frogs. One of them held up a bar device that shed sparks. There was a strong odor of alfalfa and almonds left behind.

On March 3, 1972, police saw a 4-foot tall frog-faced human-like creature with leathery skin, again near Loveland. It jumped over a rail and into the Little Miami River. Two weeks later, the officers saw it again, lying in the road. It got away as the officer shot at it and apparently missed. A local farmer said that he saw a similar frog-like being.
