The encounter with that being left the agents speechless, but what terrified them most was his face.His features were, without place no doubt, those of a reptile or an amphibian.It had very large eyes, with a somewhat torn end and lacked lips .

The creature fled in terror and hidden under the waters of the Little Miami River , leaving the agents in shock after what they had witnessed.

Had they really seen a frog-man?

The next day, the two men went out to see if the hybrid had left any trace or if it had been the product of their imagination.Their fears were confirmed by finding the traces of the disturbing creature.

The story didn't I ended up here.A few days later, another policeman found in broad daylight with "the creature." The agent in question was driving quietly along the roads adjacent to the Little River.Miami, when he saw the body of what looked like a dog lying in the gutter.The man got out of the car and prepared to remove the corpse of the poor animal, but what he found it was no type of dog, but " the frogman ".The vision of that inert being, half man half reptile, froze his blood.Suddenly, the creature woke up .I look at the police with his amphibious eyes and fled in despair towards the river.The agent, overwhelmed by fear, shot at being, but missed the shot.

The frog-man and the tribe of «Shawnee»

It is curious to discover the presence of the frog-man in legends as old as those of the Shawnee -an Indian tribe that formerly populated the Loveland area (Ohio) and, it seems, the surroundings of the Little Miami River -.

The Shawnee tell the story of the « shawnahooc » or « Rio Demon «, which emerged from the Little Miami River.According to tradition, a group of Shawnees were hunting when, suddenly, near the riverbank, they spotted a huge creature similar to a lizard or a frog .The Indians shot arrows at the creature, terrified.However, the "beast" suffered no damage.The only thing he did was stand up, just like a human , look at them defiantly and dive into the river.

The sha wnee sent a group with the best hunters to eliminate the monster , but this one never came back.Some interpreted that it was a demon that, being chased by the shawnee He decided to fade away.Others thought it was a spirit that protected the river and the valley.

He didn't turn back to learn about the "shawnahooc" or frog-man until the aforementioned meeting of the Loveland police officers.

At the moment, the mystery The frog-man is still unresolved .Would it be an evolutionary oddity or a government experiment? Maybe part of a frogmen civilization ? What do you think?
