A bridge in Loveland, Ohio, Loveland Frog site is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Riverside road where a four-foot frog man was reported in 1955.

The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open country — visitable, weather permitting.

The Loveland Frog is the river's biped — the '55 salesman's three, the '72 officer's one that crouched. The wand was the detail — the spark-firing stick that the legend adds, the almond smell that lingered. The Matthews was the shooter — the '72 iguana that he killed, the tail-less lizard that he identified.
The sightings are the officer's — the police reports that made it real, the guardrail climb that Shockey watched. The iguana is the debunk — the escaped pet that's the size, the Ohio that has no natives. The Loveland Frog is the amphibian — the bipedal cryptid, the iguana that may be it.
The file keeps the Loveland Frog: the 1955 three, the '72 officer sightings, the wand detail, and the iguana.
The Loveland Frog is the archive's Ohio file — the river's biped.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Loveland Frog is the archive's Ohio file — the police-reported cryptid.
A river keeps its croucher — the file's suggestion being that the Frog's hold is the officers: the sworn sightings, the wand that sparks, and the iguana that ended it.
