May 21, 2023 seemed to be an ordinary day for Dr. John Forsyth after he completed his shift at Mercy Hospital in Cassville, Missouri. He texted his fiancée and then seemed to vanish into thin air.

Seeing a squirrel is no big deal. It's actually rare when you don't see a squirrel in Illinois or Missouri for that matter. One Illinois homeowner did have a rare encounter with one of these creatures you don't often see - an all-white Albino squirrel.

There are two interesting pieces of information to share with you. 1. A black bear was spotted near Salem, Missouri. 2. The police are advising that citizens not wrestle it. Both of those statements are remarkably true.

After a long Memorial Day weekend, it was back to work and the normal routine for many. What wasn't normal was the fact that the US military's 'Doomsday Plane' just flew over Illinois and Iowa, but it's fine. It's probably fine.

I am not a runner. I used to be, but not having enough time in my day took that love away. However, for those of you that LOVE running, there is a new ranking of the best cities to run in and one Missouri city landed on the worst place to run.

180 of the biggest cities in the United States were ranked from best to worst for raising a family, and St. Louis was near the very bottom of the list. Why did St. Louis rank so poorly?

I don't want to rain on the parade of those who want to believe that extraterrestrials are visiting our planet every day, but most sightings of unidentified flying objects can easily be explained by science. However, among the 40 UFO reports in Missouri already in 2023, some can't easily be explained away.

It's not exactly breaking news that buying and selling homes is hard. There are so many laws and regulations plus best practices that you need to understand the details of. One question that gets asked more than you probably realize is whether or not you're required to disclose if your house is haunted to a prospective buyer. The law in Illinois is tricky.

I've flown enough times in my life that I can attest to the fact that flying on an airline can test your patience. However, I've never been aggravated enough to participate in the kind of brawl that recently erupted at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Video shows how wild it became.

We all have one common enemy in Missouri. The small but mighty mosquito. If these little critters are driving you mad with their blood-sucking ways, a new study says you might want to consider including a certain element in whatever soap you use.

I wish I had been there so I could have waved at it when it drove by. There's photographic evidence that the Google car was in Missouri during the great total solar eclipse of 2017 and that evidence comes from Google itself.

I am pleasantly surprised to be able to share this news with you. I've always known that throwed rolls were a great part of Missouri culture. Little did I know that it would be considered one of the top American things you can possible do, but that's what's happened.

If you haven't already checked in on your air conditioner to make sure it's in good shape, might want to do that now. The forecast for the next couple weeks show that temperatures in Missouri are about to soar into the 90's and don't appear to be cooling down anytime soon.

There are so many gorgeous walnut trees in Missouri and that's what has officials concerned as there is a tiny beetle that kills these huge trees headed directly toward the Show Me State.

There are few things as peaceful as fishing as the sun is setting and night is approaching. Nothing quite like being all alone with the fish. A man fishing in Missouri was enjoying one of these nights when he suddenly realized that he was definitely not alone.

I grew up watching the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon where he and Daffy Duck would argue whether it was duck season or rabbit season. That played out in real life as a Missouri hunter out looking for deer was mercilessly mocked by 135 turkeys.

If you thought street gangs were the most dangerous element to fear in Missouri, you'd be wrong. Sure, modern gangs are a serious concern, but they're no match for a crime family in Missouri that began its reign 111 years ago.

There is truly no explanation for this. A Missouri nun was buried in a simple wooden coffin 4 years ago. A few days ago, she was exhumed as her sisters were preparing to relocate her to a shrine inside the church. They were astonished to see that her body had seen almost no decay whatsoever.

I'm afraid of heights. I'm also afraid of depths so I guess I have a dilemma. That's one of the reasons it freaks me out a little bit to know there's a sinkhole in Missouri that plunges 175 into the depths of the Earth. Yikes.

Summer is "unofficially" here and if you are looking to try the most iconic ice cream cone in all of Illinois then you are in luck! Because a new location has just opened up and now the legendary cone can be found in 3 different places!

One crossing guard in Independence Missouri is getting praise for her dedication to making sure children cross the street safe and sound.

There was an uptick in earthquakes in Missouri along the New Madrid Fault in May of 2023, but nothing truly unusual except for one that happened in an unusual place according to the USGS.

If you're looking for that hole-in-the-wall diner that's the very best in the state, well, it's been found and is close to the Tri-States.

I am a fan of vehicle customization. I've seen some pretty wild details and even license plate frames in Missouri and Illinois over the years. But, did you know there's one thing you can do to your license plate that will get you busted except in Missouri?
