I recall either seeing, or reading about a similar incident from , I believe, back in the 40s. As I remember, it was in the Ohio river just West of Cincinnati. 2 women, 1 of whom had a child or children with her, were on the banks of the river, and one of the women swam out into the river, and the other woman noticed that the first, began struggling in the water. She swam out to help her friend, and got her back to the bank. The woman that had been struggling, said that she was grabbed by the legs, and pulled under the water, by a creature that resembled a huge lizard. She reported the incident, only to have two men dressed in Dark "Military" type uniforms show up at her home several nights later, suggesting that she never speak of the incident to anyone ever again.
