Loveland frog. The Loveland Frog (aka the Loveland Lizard) is a legendary humanoid frog described as standing roughly 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, allegedly first spotted in Loveland, Ohio.
University of Cincinnati folklore professor Edgar Slotkin compared the Loveland frog to Paul Bunyan, saying that stories about it have been passed down for "several decades" and that sighting reports seem to come in predictable cycles.[1] References[edit] External links[edit] Mokele-mbembe. Mokèlé-mbèmbé, meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basin folklore, sometimes described as living creature, sometimes as a spirit, and loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture.
It is claimed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists.[1] Expeditions mounted in the hope of finding evidence of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have failed, and the subject has been covered in a number of books and by a number of television documentaries. According to skeptic Robert T. Carroll, "Reports of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have been circulating for the past two hundred years, yet no one has photographed the creature or produced any physical evidence of its existence. A film titled Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, based on reports of the cryptid, starring William Katt was released in 1985.
Overview[edit] According to the traditions of the Congo River basin the Mokèlé-mbèmbé is a large territorial herbivore. Bloop. Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low-frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. The sound is consistent with the noises generated by icequakes in large icebergs, or large icebergs scraping the ocean floor.[1] Analysis[edit] The sound's source was roughly triangulated to WikiMiniAtlas 50°S 100°W / 50°S 100°W / -50; -100Coordinates: 50°S 100°W / 50°S 100°W / -50; -100 (a remote point in the south Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South America), and the sound was detected several times by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array.[1] This system was developed as an autonomous array of hydrophones that could be deployed in any oceanographic region to monitor specific phenomena. Dr. The NOAA Vents Program has since then attributed the sound to that of a large icequake. See also[edit] Popular culture[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
