10 Strangest Missouri Cryptids - Strange But TRUE

from Missing Persons Mysteries · host Steve Stockton

10 Strangest Missouri Cryptids - Missouri isn't just the "Show-Me State"—it's a land of deep, ancient hollows, winding riverbeds, and limestone caves that hide secrets dating back centuries. While the Midwest is often seen as quiet farmland, those who live near the Ozark hills or the banks of the "Big Muddy" know better. From the stinking, hair-raising terror of the Momo sightings in the 1970s to the protective, shimmering spirits of the Joplin Butterfly People, Missouri is a hotbed of high-strangeness. In tonight’s episode, we step off the marked trails and into the shadows to count down the 10 strangest cryptids and urban legends ever reported in Missouri. Whether they are biological anomalies, interdimensional visitors, or the stuff of pure nightmare, these entities prove that the heartland is far more mysterious than it appears. In this video, we explore: The blood-curdling cry of the Ozark Howler. The 12-foot-tall aggressive giant known as the Beaman Monster. The grotesque, light-hating Ratman of Kansas City. ...and the elusive Jimplicute, a phantom that stalks the Ozark Highlands. 👁️ HAVE YOU SEEN SOMETHING?

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans. We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
