AQUATIC & UNDERWATER PHENOMENON - SUBMERSED ANOMALIES | Join Us - LIVE CHAT | Q&A (REAL EYEWITNESS REPORTS!) Hundreds of years ago, sailors worldwide told of a sea monster called the Kraken that could toss ships into the air with its many long arms. But today, science states that aquatic monsters don't exist. There are still underwater Leviathans in the natural world, like whales and giant squid. Scientists estimate that 91 percent of ocean species have yet to be classified and that more than eighty percent of our ocean is unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored. But we constantly receive anecdotal accounts of cryptid creatures showing themselves. In my mind, as well as for many other enthusiasts and researchers, underwater mysteries are still to be found. The aquatic monster encounters and sightings detailed in this presentation offer varied glimpses into the phenomenon. Hi. My name is Lon Strickler.

2:22
every week um now hundreds of years ago sailors
2:28
worldwide told of a sea monster called the Kraken that could toss ships into
2:34
the air with its long many long arms but today science states that aquatic
2:41
monsters don't exist now there's still underwater
2:46
lethia in the natural world like whales and giant squid
2:51
now scientists estimate that 91% of the ocean species have yet to be classified
2:59
and that more than 80% of our ocean is unmapped unobserved and
3:05
unexplored but we constantly received anecdotal accounts of crypted creatures
3:11
showing themselves now in my mind as well as many other enthusiasts and researchers underwater
3:19
mysteries remain to be solved now the aquatic monster encounters and sightings detailed in
3:25

4:12
question please use all caps and we'll try to get to each one of them after the
4:20
presentation now this first account a northwestern Ontario
4:25
fisherman with his dog came face to face with a greenish brown
4:30
humanoid the dog was grabbed by this creature sustaining an ear injury
4:36
now he tells me "This encounter is hard to explain i was fishing in a river in
4:41
northwestern Ontario about a mile and a half from my grandmother's house i had
4:46
always walked there and fish from the bank where I had gone since I was a kid i was down fishing with my dog named
4:54
Queenie and was sitting and leaning against a tree and when my bobber went
5:01
down hard and my rod almost went out of my hands i figured I had a bass or
5:06
catfish for some reason though I started following my line as if something was
5:12
drawing me in queenie was freaking out growling and even biting my leg trying
5:17
to get me to back but to back up but to keep following i kept following it as if
5:23
I were in trance then something broke the surface of the water in front of me and all I could see
5:29
was this torso and head of a like a greenish
5:34
brown head and I saw its hands yes a hand was pulling my line towards it and
5:41
I was so scared but I couldn't stop as it brought me closer then Queenie was between us barking and
5:49
snapping at it and I was able suddenly to go back towards the bank leaving
5:54
everything i saw it grab Queenie and grabbing at my knife I cut the line
6:00
which I guess broke the trance as I struggled out of the water I saw Queenie
6:05
and grabbed her and ran out of the water i heard a weird slapping sound and
6:11
a grunt and kept running until it I was almost home
6:16
i saw that Queenie was hurt one of her ears was gone and bleeding and I finally
6:21
got to the house i was crying and threw her into the car and straight to the vet still wet and shaking i told him
6:29
something to get her and wait i told him something to get her and wait anxiously
6:36
until he came back and said she was lucky that he had extracted a tooth from
6:42
her skull he said it looked like an alligator tooth but I knew better i never told my
6:49
family about what happened but I know damn well it wasn't an alligator
6:57
so in this next account the witness states "As we got within 20 feet of the
7:03
opposite shore he described what felt like a pair of strong hairy arms wrapped around both
7:10
my legs and started to pull me under or pull him under." So he states in the
7:16
account "In November 2019 I received a telephone call from a man in Fresno
7:21
California who I will refer to as RA he wanted to tell me about two
7:27
incidents he and a friend had at Avocado Lake in Fresno County now Avocado Lake Park is a 210 acre park day use park
7:37
um located 23 miles east of Fresno California
7:42
now the lake has a strange history specifically many mysterious drowning and Bigfoot activity stories have been
7:51
told over the years surrounding these deaths and wet world lurks below many
7:56
residents believe the lake to be haunted ra had been visiting the lake since he was a child his family had regularly
8:04
gone there for recreation now he and his friends also spent time at the location when he became an adult ra knew about
8:12
the strange occurrences including the Bigfoot sightings his family had experienced a Bigfoot sighting at Haran
8:19
only along the um California aqueduct when he was younger so he was well aware
8:25
of the existence of these creatures now the first incident at Avocado Lake occurred in
8:32
2014 which RA and his friend had been swimming while they had been swimming a
8:38
friend was attempting to swim across the lake to the far bank now as he got within 20 ft of the opposite shore he
8:45
described what he felt like a pair of strong hairy arms wrapped around both of his his legs and started to pull him
8:52
under he said that if there had been a long aquatic vegetation extending from
8:59
the shore of which he could grab hold he would have certainly been pulled under the surface ra told me that his friend
9:06
was terrified and refused to get back into the water then in 2016 RA and his
9:13
friend had a picnic at the park later in the afternoon he and a lady friend walked down to the lake and sat alone on
9:19
the shore as they were talking they both noticed a hairy hand and arm extend from
9:25
the water near a large rock in the lake they were about 50 feet away and both
9:31
got an excellent view of a well-defined human-like hand and arm that was covered in dark coarse hair ra said that the arm
9:39
was very long and extended well over 3t above the surface now RA has shown some
9:45
interest in investigating the lake and other areas he has promised to keep in touch with me and to report any findings
9:53
now like I said before the area is well known for Bigfoot sightings and uh there
9:58
have been some strange drownings at that lake as well so we're going to um I'm going to
10:06
talk a about a few older accounts that were been that were reported in some of
10:12
the newspapers um this is this came out of London uh
10:18
sure and it the story states surely it would be had been a mistake for the
10:24
silly season to pass without a sea serpent down at the sur docks just now
10:30
is a man who has not only seen a fearful and wonderful marine monster but has
10:35
even sketched it from life it is not exactly the sea serpent of hory tradition but a sort of sea
10:43
giraffe an extraordinary looking amphibious animal that is puzzling the
10:48
zoologologist who have heard of it and seen the drawing some idea this weird freak of
10:55
nature may be gathered from the firsthand description of it his bonnie blue eyes cries like a baby neck 20t
11:04
long body 50 feet big head with long ears and snout three horned fins adorn
11:10
its bony head two big flapping fins skinned like a seal and brownish yellow
11:17
in color with pretty dark spots now a plain and common sense
11:22
seaman who tells his story bluntly without any frills or trimmings second officer G Bachelor of the Allen line
11:30
steam ship Corinthian describing his strange adventure with the sea giraffe
11:36
he said "We were bound from London to Montreal it was my turn on watch on the
11:42
bridge in the early morning of August 30th it was a cold morning and the gray
11:47
dawn was just breaking when as I was keeping an eye straight ahead on our course I pick up a queer looking object
11:53
about a mile ahead it disappeared and as quickly as it shot up again no more than
11:59
200 feet away from the ship i saw it distinctly rise out of the
12:04
water first there was a big head with long ears and a long snout and bulging
12:09
blue eyes that were mild and liquid then there was a neck no end of a
12:15
neck and a swayed with the wash of the waves what it was I couldn't guess for
12:21
in 20 years of seagoing including trips in the tropical waters I've never seen
12:27
anything like this sea giraffe that was staring right at the Corinthian as the thing seemed to eye me
12:35
it lashed the water with its big front fins then it suddenly dived and disappeared at the same time giving an
12:42
odd little whale like a baby's cry you wouldn't think such a huge animal has
12:47
such a small voice as soon as I went off duty I went below and sketched the monster in India
12:54
Inc when the Corinthian reached Montreal my sketch was shown to Professor Effie Lloyd of McGill University an expert in
13:01
zoologology the professor said that whatever it was it wasn't a serpent but a sea mammal it
13:09
was certainly built on the high speed lines and its finike protrance was well
13:16
adapted for running things up i located the sea giraffe in latitude
13:23
76° 51 minutes north longitude 48 degrees 32 minutes west off the Grand
13:29
Banks and not many mile distance from the spot where the Titanic went down i
13:35
am inclined to think that the wreck of the Titanic has been something to do with the presence of this strange
13:41
creature in the waters where nothing of a kind has ever been noticed before is
13:46
it making food from the dead bodies below mr bachelor made the gruesome
13:52
suggestion in all seriousness he was greatly impressed with the absolute accuracy of his
13:58
observations mr bachelor it may be added is a canny Scott and his view is that
14:04
there may still be more survivors of an almost distinct race of seab beasts
14:10
anyway zoologologists are not acquainted with an amphibious or aquatic reptile
14:15
called a Sora Terraia which curlessly resembles the
14:21
description of what Mr batcher saw this sea monster had a small head and
14:26
exemptionally long neck but generally stated have been extinct for ages now
14:32
this was printed in the uh the Times Dispatch Richmond Virginia on October
14:37
19th and 1913 so it wasn't that many months after the u the
14:46
sinking of the RMS Titanic now this Sorter
14:53
Geo marine reptile is sometimes mentioned as a possible identication of
14:59
the Loch Ness monster though it's supposedly went extinct at the end of the Mazoic uh period any on another note
15:07
I seriously doubt that any of the surviving family of the doomed ocean liners passenger wanted to read about
15:13
their loved ones being consumed by a sea giraffe
15:21
now in this next account the witness states "Hi Lon i live in Iceland and I
15:27
thought that I would share my spooky story with you we have a deep mythology of elves
15:36
and supernatural beings here but I'm always dismissed them as folklore until this trip to the Westwards
15:43
the westwards are terrifyingly beautiful place with steep cliffs and long winding
15:50
fjords is very remote and difficult to access in the oldest part of
15:55
Iceland a long story short we were driving and taking advantage of the long daylight hours a Sunday at 1:00
16:03
a.m but the weather turned bad and we decided to sleep in the Jeep on a hill very close to the sea cliffs now we all
16:11
fell asleep quickly with the sound of the mighty waves crashing on the cliffs and the jeep being hit with rain and sea
16:19
spray now here's where it gets weird now my friend and I had very similar vivid
16:26
dreams or nightmares that night we both dreamt we were kidnapped by mermen not
16:32
little mermaids but mermen who are scary beings with big teeth and ugly faces
16:38
there are little details I remember like one merman showing me a spine on its
16:45
face and telling me that it was poisonous like the same way a stingray's
16:50
barbs are poisonous and if you don't comply it would sting us and we'd be dead in an instant now they showed us
16:58
this incredible technology and a projector that could show you your sins
17:03
something told me that if the sin was too great we wouldn't go back home my
17:08
greatest sins were played in front of everyone and I felt like I passed some sort of test and we were then shown this
17:16
complex it seemed like Atlantis very futuristic also I got the sense that we
17:23
were deep underwater well after this tour we were brought back to the surface
17:28
my friend had a merman dream at the same time as mine case mainly remembering men
17:34
walking out of the sea with different but similar details we both agreed that
17:40
it was very strange to have dreams of being kidnapped by aquatic people well
17:46
this could all just be crazy dreams it's on the way back we stopped at the sea
17:51
monster museum and they have an old depiction of a merman and this eerly
17:56
similar to what we dreamt about we were both very subtled by this so if you camp
18:02
near the southern tip of Fluger close to the haunted caves from
18:08
uh Gizla Saga there is a chance you might meet an actual merman or mermaid
18:15
but watch out they are not babes they are instead fish people who will eat you
18:20
if you're a bad person on the inside
18:26
now this following article is an encounter with a massive aquatic creature that was published in Norwich
18:32
Bulletin in Norwich Connecticut in August 27th 1909
18:39
the sea serpent of the Atlantic Coast Resorts will have to take a back seat for a queer amphibious preacher that is
18:47
reported in the Walnut River here by WH Kenny and HG Case who were fishing near
18:54
the mouth of Black Creek on Wednesday kenny bears evidence of
19:00
conflict of some kind his wrist was gassed as was a saw the wound he he says
19:07
was afflicted by a river monster that made it a desperate effort to get into the boat occupied by himself and his
19:14
companion the two men were fishing for bass and channel catfish when they saw the monster jump out of the water after
19:20
a fish that Case had pulled up the first sight of the creature led the men to
19:26
believe that this was a huge eel but its second appearance was more terrifying
19:31
the thing dashed close to the boat after one of the captured fish it had a long
19:37
horn on its snout and measured about six feet in length it general facial appearance was like that of a catfish
19:44
except for the sharp horn it was the horn that cut m cut
19:50
Kenny the strange visitor managed to crawl under the bow of the boat before
19:55
the occupants could recover from their amazement it impaled a bass that was lying at the bottom of the boat and then
20:02
went overboard again as the creature slid back into the water it slapped its
20:07
tail which seemed to have a sponge-like quality so fiercely that the air was
20:13
filled with fine spray that blinded and drenched the
20:20
fisherman so in this next account a California woman and her cousin observed several mermaids near Santa Monica Pier
20:28
a witness remarked that the aquatic humanoids seemed evil and that they
20:36
glowed hello i recently read a few of your posts that involve sightings and encounters with
20:43
mermaids now me and my cousin saw 20 or more of them on the side of Santa Monica
20:48
Pier a few years back i know that sounds incredible but it happened at first it
20:54
was just one it was on the beach we originally thought it was a dog but then
20:59
when the waves came in and the bean jumped in the water more of them showed themselves but kept the
21:06
distance they also stayed out of the moonlight i think to avoid pictures or to be e seen even more they were also
21:14
lined up like soldiers i'm pretty sure they were admiring the lights on the pier
21:21
and the truth that the ones I saw looked kind of evil had straight back posture and even glowed a
21:27
little they looked kind of bluish but not sure what color they were the glow was a yellow green
21:35
luminescent it wasn't a very bright glow it was very dim but maybe it could have
21:41
been the pier lights reflecting off of them i'm not sure now remarkably enough this is not the
21:47
first time I've received reports of mermaids and aquatic humanoids being seen around the Santa Monica Bridge or
21:54
the the pier and the beach um another witness swore that while diving he was
22:02
attacked and incapacitated by a female underwater humanoid i think I read that
22:07
the last time I talked about aquatic
22:13
humanoids so in this next account a US Navy submariner recalls an encounter
22:19
with a massive creature that scraped across the hall of the ship while off
22:24
the coast of Hawaii was it a Kraken so he tells me "I was in the US
22:32
Navy on submarines and I had a buddy in the barracks who was a sonar tech on another
22:39
sub they listen for things in the water all day and that's their only job
22:45
when they're on watch at least anyway one day they were in local waters off
22:50
the coast of Hawaii by a few hundred miles doing uh training or whatever when
22:56
suddenly the whole boat heard something large and made noise against the hall he
23:02
made a zipper popping noise from the front of the boat to the back there was supposed to be nothing in
23:09
the area no sonar buoys from the training aircraft no floating rope or buoy that had a chain or anything else
23:16
would give a logical explanation for the noise they surfaced the ship to check
23:22
for damage and noticed a few of the sound dampening tiles they're kind of like rubbery or foam that covered the
23:30
boat that also had been ripped off previously it hadn't been ripped off previously it was unclear whether the
23:37
thing that caused noise was that was what removed them since they sometimes
23:43
just fell off anyway but my buddy was pretty darn sure it was the suckers of a giant squid or
23:50
some other monster mullisk that made the noise i guess to him it sounded suction
23:56
cup like he was al almost certain it was biological noise not mechanical
24:02
the only problem is that L John squid only get to be about three I mean 30
24:07
feet long whatever made this noise was appreciably bigger so anyway he tells me everyone in
24:14
the boat was fondled by a kraken and I guess I believe
24:21
him now this next account a young man who lives next to the Delaware River
24:28
starts to notice strange prints in his yard one night he and his girlfriend observed
24:34
two three-foot tall fishlike humanoids walking in the yard so he tells me "I live in Marcus
24:41
Hook Pennsylvania in Delaware County i went to college in Philadelphia my parents moved to Florida a few months
24:48
ago but they kept their house here so I'm living in it right now the property is along the bank of the Delaware
24:55
River the river is 20 or so yards from the back door of the house i had found a
25:01
new job and I stayed up later and later i was bored and with no one else to hang out with most nights I would wind up
25:08
outside in a lawn chair fishing in the river until 3:00 in the morning it was on a night like this when
25:16
the first incident occurred now I wasn't paying too much attention to the people around me i was
25:23
watching something on my phone and my rod started bouncing like crazy
25:28
i jumped up to set the hook jerking it back the line went slack for a second
25:34
then jerked away i figured I had a fish on but when I tried to reel again it
25:40
wouldn't budge i thought maybe I was snagged but then the line snapped away
25:46
again i'm not an expert fisherman but the way the line moved was odd not like
25:51
a typical fish bite but like something in the water was purposely pulling back on the line each time I did it was
25:58
almost like it was intelligent i was a bit freaked out and I ended up just cutting the line and
26:05
heading back inside i told myself it was caught on a snag or something but I
26:11
suspected otherwise so a week later I was I had fallen
26:16
asleep in my chair and I woke up startled after hearing a large splash in the water just a few yards
26:23
out now the light from my back porch barely hit the edge of the water and I
26:28
could see a series of rings spreading out from where something had entered the water a new set of rings then appeared a
26:36
few feet away and then again and again until they were out of sight
26:42
i was a bit baffled since catfish or or bottom feeders seldom come to the
26:48
surface of the water and they rarely jump i grabbed my gear and headed inside
26:53
but in my groggy state I left my cutting board knife and a fresh bag of bait i
26:59
used pepperoni for catfish then they were sitting on the ground outside the next day I had realized what
27:06
I had done and went outside to retrieve it everything was gone in the patch of dirt near where I had
27:13
left the stuff I could see faint prints some kind of thinfooted animal with only
27:19
two long slender toes had been walking through the area i also found silvery
27:25
fish scales that were spread sporadically around and both prints in the scales led straight back to the
27:32
water's edge i must admit that at this point I was a little bugged out i didn't
27:38
know what to make of the evidence but I figured that any kind of call to the police was going to make them
27:44
laugh so I tried to find information on the prints online but with no luck I
27:49
decid decided that I would give fishing a rest for a while i needed to get better sleep anyway i was starting to
27:56
get tired halfway through the day at work so two weeks two weeks went by and
28:02
I hadn't been back outside to fish i had start dating a new girl between
28:08
her and work I pretty much forgot all about the tracks but then the most bizarre incident
28:14
occurred i was fast asleep in the room upstairs when I was shaken awake by my girlfriend she told me that my dog was
28:21
downstairs barking like crazy now I'm a heavy sleeper and probably wouldn't have noticed but sure enough he was
28:27
downstairs going nuts before I reached the stairs the barking abruptly stopped but then it
28:35
turned into a low growl i felt a twinge of panic my girlfriend was behind me on the
28:42
stairs and we crept down quietly i could see the dog standing at the back door in
28:47
a rigid posture growling at something outside i walked quietly over to him and
28:53
started to calm him down i was stroking his head and when I heard my girlfriend let out a gasp she was looking through
29:00
the small window of the back door i stood up to look for myself unmistakably
29:06
there were two bipeedal creatures no more than three foot tall walking around
29:11
my backyard it was dark and then the lights were off but I can make out a palid
29:17
silver color to them they had no eyes that I could see but something like a
29:23
fin was running down the spine of each creature we stood frozen for a few
29:29
moments watching these two creatures at one m at one point they ambled over
29:35
to each other i swear that they were making hand gestures toward the house my
29:40
girlfriend saw this too and whispered that she was going to call the cops she ran upstairs to grab her phone
29:47
while I stayed and watched for a few more minutes my dog started barking again this time both creatures just
29:54
walked away towards the river and disappeared under the water the police arrived about 20 minutes
30:00
later and looked around now they didn't see any signs of the creatures but said that they had found some wet prints
30:07
outside they were the same ones that I had seen on the ground a few weeks ago since no crime was committed they didn't
30:14
seem too interested but the officers took my report and told me to call again if anything else
30:20
happens so this was a month ago i've looked online for any kind of
30:26
information on these creatures but can't find anything i haven't gotten a good night's sleep since and my girlfriend
30:32
has refused to come back to the house do you have any idea what these creatures may have
30:38
been so I got back to the witness and I asked for more details wasn't much more information he
30:46
could provide he did state that he had contacted other investigators who
30:52
ignored his inquiry uh I will admit that this is the first time I heard of or read of anything
30:58
similar being seen in that area let alone the region uh if anybody has any information
31:05
feel free to contact
31:11
me now this next account an American teen girl her father and her brother
31:17
traveled to Thailand they were snorkeling near some islands when she observed what she believed was a mermaid
31:23
or merman she tells me "I'm so glad that I found your blog this is something that's
31:30
been bothering me for years i'm a 22year-old American woman
31:36
and when I was 13 my dad my younger brother and I went to Thailand we
31:41
traveled to Fifi Island by boat with one of those travel companies for tourist
31:47
and stopped by several islands to snorkel one of these stops my brother
31:52
and I were right next to each other looking at a fish that I found cute to paint the picture a bit better at this
32:00
moment my brother and I were snorkeling in the water right by a floating island while the others in our group were a bit
32:06
further away from this island this island was like a chunk of land that extended downward into the water rather
32:12
than having a gradual slope now suddenly our dad called out to
32:17
us someone in our group saw a small shark and everyone gathered around to see it my brother swam over there but
32:24
for some reason I stayed put and kept watching the different fish that were swimming so close to
32:29
me then something caught my attention there were small caves underneath by the
32:35
shore and I saw something slowly coming out of there it was like a human head
32:42
facing down towards the bottom of the ocean i completely froze up and kept staring the person kind of floated out
32:50
of the cave never faced up toward the surface and did it very
32:55
slowly nothing of this person that I could see was moving by this point I
33:01
could see the back of the head and almost most of the back the person had sparse black hair and sllicked down to
33:08
the scalp their skin looked gray and the spine was extremely
33:14
pronounced i was so sure that I was looking at a corpse that I completely froze up i couldn't breathe or move time
33:23
felt like it was standing still the person kept floating out of the cave and that's when I started seeing its tail
33:30
the tail was dark gray and looked like a stereotypical mermaid tail i blinked
33:36
multiple times convinced I was hallucinating but I kept seeing it i
33:41
never believed in the supernatural but this thing was only a few meters below me and I could see it so
33:47
clearly i felt a sense of danger i knew that I wasn't supposed to be seeing this
33:52
and I was terrified that I it would see me and attack me but the thing never once faced up
34:01
once it was out it swayed to the side kept a close distance to the island disappeared into another
34:08
cave now after a few seconds I snapped out of and I quickly swam to my dad and
34:13
brother i burst into tears and frankly told him what we we had to get back to
34:18
the boat right away my dad asked me what happened and I told him what I saw he
34:23
didn't believe me and got furious to me at me for lying when we got back to the boat I told him again and stood by the
34:30
fact that I wasn't lying my father told me that he hoped I was that it was
34:36
either a lie or that I was insane and I had to be locked up in a mental
34:41
institution i knew how crazy all of it sounded and honestly I I didn't even believe it myself i decided to tell him
34:48
that I made it up later on now since that day I've tried to convince myself
34:54
that I made it all up but I've never experienced any hallucinations and I know what I saw i told others but of
35:02
course most of them thought I made it up it's so insanely frustrating feeling like you've been gas lit by the entire
35:08
world and I truly hope that something out there or someone out there believes
35:14
me so this next account's the last one so
35:19
if you've got a any questions go ahead and start putting them up the witness tells me "We bought a
35:28
little house down by the Loveland Castle Museum back in
35:34
2000 it was perched upon a ravine in a creek in the back of the house dropped
35:39
off very steeply there would have been enough room for a man or a bipedal person to stand behind
35:45
the house but the basement window were eye level and the first floor was quite far up from the place where one could
35:52
stand the reason I point this out is that because it is a very small house we
35:58
had to use the basement for our two boys bedrooms now they kept complaining that
36:03
something kept looking in the window at them and my husband and I laughed it off at first
36:09
it was a wooded setting very rural and and beautiful and very dark at night having no street lights out there so it
36:17
seemed funny that they were thinking something was watching them we had just
36:22
told them maybe it was a deer they were plentiful in the fall and went about our
36:28
business so one night however I woke up hearing a weird sound like just outside
36:34
our bedroom window on the first floor it faced out back of the house and I was
36:41
puzzled as to what I it could be because it sounded like a man breathing heavily i started to sit up and realize
36:49
that whatever it was it was looking at my window just inches from my head and I was
36:55
terrified i did not look out because I knew that I would see it and I kept
37:01
feeling something urging me to look now we often hear squeaking noises screeching not like an owl and a crying
37:08
baby i woke my husband up and he said whatever it was it would have had to have been 10t tall to look in our window
37:17
i couldn't sleep that night but whatever had been out there had moved on now I
37:22
didn't mention to the kids the next day the boys came up from the basement shaken from seeing the red glowing eyes
37:28
the night before they were every bit as big as red road
37:34
reflectors and they heard heavy breathing in the hair on the on their body stood up on
37:41
end this was only one experience we had out there in Loveland it's right down by
37:47
the little Miami River only stones throw many weird things out there green green
37:55
glows orbs something very large and black on top of the roof of the house very late at night when the light was
38:02
shining on it did not go through whatever it was on the roof it just looked like a huge uh dark
38:09
figure I'd like to know if you had any weird stories about this area we moved a
38:15
few miles away but still go past there very often so as many of you can
38:21
probably guess I assume that this this witness whose name was Crystal was not
38:26
aware of the Loveland Frog Man sightings now those who don't know about
38:32
the story this the first sighting was in May of 1955 around 3:30 a.m an unnamed
38:39
businessman claimed that he witnessed three bipeedal quasi reptilian entities
38:45
congregated by the side of the road later March 3rd 1972 around 1:00 a.m an
38:52
anonymous police officer was traveling along Riverside Road heading towards Lovelin when he came across a froglike
38:58
creature on the side of the road now a few weeks later March 17th
39:04
1972 officer Mark Matthews reported pulling over to assist an injured animal on the side of the road now upon
39:11
approaching the creature Officer Matthews was startled by a strange frog manlike creature
39:19
now the story of the Lovelin Frogman begins on a barren stretch of road that runs along the Miami River in Claremont
39:25
County just on the outskirts of the small town of Loveland Ohio and this would probably be the
39:31
approximate area where Crystal had lived around 3:30 a.m in May of 1955 an
39:39
unnamed businessman claimed to witness these three bipedal quasi reptilian creatures gathered in the side of the
39:45
road the business businessman pulled over the curb and observed the creature for what he estimated to be about three
39:52
minutes he went on to describe the creatures as being 3 to four foot tall covered in leatherly skin and having
39:59
webbed hands and feet perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of these creatures
40:04
however is their distinctly froglike heads which the business rep businessman
40:10
reported to have deep wrinkles where their hair would have been as the anonymous businessman watched the
40:17
three frog men one of the creatures suddenly held up held up with the witness described as some kind of wand
40:25
above its head he further claimed that spark spewed out of the top of the wand
40:30
upon a witnessing the strange sight the businessman fled the scene fearing for his life
40:37
so the next documented encounter with the Lovelin Frogman occurred at approximately 1:00 a.m on March 3rd 1972
40:44
when a police officer who chose to remain anonymous was traveling down Riverside Road heading towards Lovelin
40:51
the officer claimed that he was driving slowly due to the over iced roads when he suddenly saw what appeared to be a
40:58
dog on the side of the road the creature darted out in front of the cruiser causing the officer to slam on the
41:04
brakes to avoid hitting the unknown animal and when the cruiser came to the stop to a stop the headlines fell upon a
41:11
crouched froglike creature quickly the creature stood on two legs and stared back at the officer
41:18
its eyes illuminated behind beams and scrambled over the guard rail down the
41:23
embankment and finally vanished into the Ohio River the officers described the creature as
41:30
being 3 to four feet tall and weighing around 50 to 75 pounds he also stated that the skin had
41:37
a leatherly texture and that the animal resembled that of a frog or lizard later
41:42
that evening another officer returned to the scene found no signs of the animal but did report that there were
41:47
distinctive scratch marks on the guard rail that the creature reportedly had scrambled over
41:54
so later another sighting by a police officer Mark Matthews had an encounter of his own two weeks later according to
42:01
Officer Matthews report he spotted what he believed to be an injured animal on the on the pavement while driving into
42:08
Lovelin matthews stepped out of his cruiser removed the the injured animal from the icelic road as Officer Matthews
42:15
got closer to the body of the creature lurching upwards into a crouched position startled by the creature's the
42:22
strange creature's froglike appearance Matthews drew his gun and fired at the creature wounding the the frog man the
42:30
wounded frog man limped to the side of the road and slid over the guard rail officer Matthews description of the
42:36
froglike creature matched that of the other officer sighting two weeks prior now years after his original
42:44
sighting Officer Matthews had somewhat changed his story he now claims that the
42:49
creature he saw that night was nothing more than a large large reptile that escaped from its owner he further
42:56
insisted that the reason he shot the creature was to help confirm the fellow officer's story did Matthew change his
43:04
story due to the ridicule or the fading memory of an event that took place one night on an icy road outside of Lovelin
43:11
in many years following the strange string of sightings there have been no reported sightings of the strange
43:16
creatures what had become since known as the Lovelin frogman now I wonder if the
43:22
phenomenon started again considering Crystal's reports and the new information I received later and I have
43:31
received other sightings of this creature since that time myself
43:38
um I don't know how many other reports have been made but I have made a couple
43:44
of reports on the blog in the past 20 or so years uh now I don't know if the
43:51
descriptions are very similar to what these people have seen but uh they're definitely something out there
43:59
so folks go ahead and uh put up your questions and uh Kevin
44:05
and I will look it over and see what we can answer hans Quatch depths of the ocean
44:12
unexplored how much history do you think is buried underwater and do you think aliens have always been there living
44:18
there well I I I tell you I I've received and
44:24
investigated a a lot of abduction reports and encounter
44:31
reports that suggest that uh individual may have been taken to an
44:38
underwater facility david Ehart said the same thing to me he was sure that he was taken to
44:46
an underwater facility off Pensacola um for years there have been
44:54
rumors of an underwater facility off the coast of Puerto
44:59
Rico so uh I don't know it could very well be but uh do I believe there's
45:05
something underneath the oceans that could be alien-based absolutely like I
45:10
had mentioned before very in the overall scheme of things
45:15
very little of the ocean has been mapped out and even
45:22
explored nancy Malcolm oh Marla Snder do you think underwater alien bases have
45:29
anything to do with the underwater cryptids maybe uh it could i mean I
45:37
guess um could these underwater humanoids be
45:43
actual aliens or living in underground cities or
45:48
underground areas that I don't know it It's interesting i mean I I I
45:57
really don't know uh I've I've heard enough reports and read enough reports
46:02
over the years to believe there's something out there so um you know your guess is as good as
46:11
mine dagnam what do you think of the phenomena of large black clouds or green lightning that stops electrical devices
46:18
as it passes over you um I have heard may that maybe once
46:24
or twice i don't know i mean it sounds very similar to when people report
46:30
unknown craft going over and doing the same thing uh is it actually a craft or is it cloud or what i I don't
46:41
know jose Sanchez you always hear about mermaids but when did the the manmaids
46:47
or mermen burst into the paranormal scene i've seen an episode from paranormal caught on camera TV show
46:55
found it very bizarre you know um I have received a lot of Merman
47:02
accounts coming out of lock uh landlocked lakes particularly the
47:07
Caspian Sea and uh some coming out of the Black Sea
47:15
there have been reports by fishermen in both those locations out of Iran and out
47:21
of Turkey for many years as well as Ukraine
47:27
now and I I did mention about a Ukrainian woman having an encounter with
47:33
one of these beings years ago in Crimea um I I I believe there's
47:39
something going on and of course with the merman you know you don't hear many merman accounts in this part of the
47:46
world i mean coming out of the Caribbean it's always females that are part of the lore uh what the sailors said they saw
47:54
were all females and uh but I don't know but
48:00
there I have received merman accounts over the years marla Snder do you get many
48:07
reports of sightings in around the Dough or River very few yeah that's one of the few I've gotten and
48:14
um you know you think out of you know the Delaware Bay that run you know that
48:20
that where this the Delaware River empties into is pretty large bay i mean it's deep not deeper than some most
48:27
parts of the Chesapeake but you don't hear a whole lot coming out of there
48:37
jose Sanchez of the scarce reports of frogman and lizard people might you have
48:43
similarity as far as skin type is concerned
48:49
um most times uh the descriptions of are of skin that
48:57
is very seal like or or amphibian like no scales even
49:04
the ones that look reptilian very rarely have scales if they're they're seen coming in and out of the
49:11
water as opposed to regular reptiles so I don't know are they even reptiles
49:17
maybe they're all amphibian i I really don't
49:29
know anything else
49:37
say okay Sir Wolf has one question up here they say there are large bodies of
49:43
water beneath the seabed and land who knows what's there that's true we have
49:50
no idea we have no idea and it's just like when you talk about Lake Champlain
49:58
uh people have talked about aquifers actually reaching out into the St lawrence Seaway that run underneath
50:05
there maybe these maybe these creatures are coming from the ocean um you know I
50:12
know Loch Ness has um the Nest River that goes through by Everest and out
50:18
into the u out into the ocean but um you know and there have been several
50:25
people who believe that they've seen something navigating the the river into
50:31
Loch Ness so I don't know i know they there's some large salmon runs that could have through there but I as far as
50:38
a creature the size of what's purported to be seen at Loch Ness I I don't
50:51
know anything else folks
50:59
jose Sanchez have you seen cases of spectre women that appear out of nowhere
51:06
in small rivers especially when they are people swimming about yeah the uh the sprites in particular a
51:16
lot of times you you you get those reports out of Africa uh I mean
51:23
freshwater streams in Africa um there have been several that I've
51:30
heard of over the years but um I can't think of any other place that
51:36
had really had sprite sightings or water sprite sightings other than
51:45
there okay folks well thanks all you for watching and chatting and if you donate
