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.

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?

The legend is back. It was one of the earliest rollercoasters in Missouri when it debuted in 1973 then it went away. Now it's been resurrected and you can see what it's like to ride Missouri's "newest" old (and insane) wooden rollercoaster.

I'm not sure this is much of a secret, but I would agree with many who say they've discovered Missouri's best swimming hole. At the very least, it has to be near the top of the water fun list.
