In the muddy churn of the Ohio River, something waits just beneath the surface. Locals call it the Green-Clawed Monster—a scaled predator with claws sharp enough to gouge flesh and drag its victims into the current. Since the summer of 1955, when Naomi Johnson surfaced with deep, unexplained scratches on her leg, the legend has clung to Evansvillelike river fog. Phreak dives into the folklore, eyewitness accounts, and chilling theories surrounding Indiana’s most aquatic nightmare. From claw marks carved into docks to tales of prehistoric beasts lurking below, the Green-Clawed Monster is more than just a campfire story—it’s a reminder that some legends don’t hide in forests or skies… they wait in the water.
