2023 Creature Conferences/Events

The movie, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, came out in 1954 and the following year, someone in Loveland, Ohio, reported seeing 3 frog-like humanoid creatures on a bridge. In March of 1972, a couple of police officers saw similar frog-man creatures and a couple of weeks later, another officer shot and killed a huge, tailless iguana. Many thought the tailless iguana was what others had seen, but this didn't explain the 3 creatures reported in 1955. As recently as August of 2016, a man by the name of Sam Jacobs and his girlfriend reported seeing a huge frog standing on its hind legs.

The first reports of the Lizard Man were in July 1988, when a teenage boy claimed a 7-foot tall red-eyed monster with skin like a lizard attacked his car. There were intermittent reports through the 90s and in 2008, people blamed the creature for leaving claw marks on their car. In 2015, a woman leaving church claimed she saw the Lizard Man running along the edge of the woods. For years, the people of Bishopville didn't want anything to do with the Lizard Man, but as you can see, they're now celebrating the legend with a Lizard Man Stomp.

I think Alabama is in the top 20 states where you're most likely to see Bigfoot, and there are Bigfoot sightings in all the states that adjoin Alabama.

The family who claimed they were being harassed by Bigfoot were also in Alabama. whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/5748/bigfoot-harassing-alabama-family

If anyone goes to the Frogman Festival tomorrow, please share your experience. I understand it's the first festival in what the city hopes will become an annual event and I'm sure we'd all like to know what it's like.
