Freshwater octopuses? No, say the experts. BUT, they are turning up in the Ohio River, especially at the Falls of the Ohio State Park in Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the river from Louisville. 3 theories: 1) pets let free 2) an octopus who swam up river from the Gulf of Mexico 3) A saltwater species is adapting to freshwater.
