There are some discrepancies on when the elusive 4-foot tall frog-like creature was first spotted. According to Bigfootblogspot.com the legend dates back to 1955 when it was seen swimming in the Little Miami River. Others say it was a Loveland police officer who first saw the leathery- skinned being in 1972. Legend has it that the officer nearly hit the creature with his car. When the officer stopped, the gigantic frog stood in the middle of the road, got on its hind legs, crawled over a guard rail and into the river.
