If you've been in a part of Missouri where sinkholes are present, you know they're strange enough by themselves. One sinkhole in particular seems to have something else going on as there are reports of bizarre creature activity nearby.

This new exploration of the Mark Twain National Forest area by Missouri YouTube channel Sasquatch Theory is interesting for a lot of reasons. First of all, there's a major sinkhole in that part of the state near the Big Piney River. The strange Mayfield Cemetery is also nearby which has had its share of paranormal reports. The place they visit is called King Sink which is home to an ancient sinkhole. It is surrounded by forest in every direction. A Missouri man named Bert shared many crazy stories from those woods.

The stories from turkey hunters in that part of Missouri are interesting. One said that he heard something growling that was scaring away all the birds. As he tried to walk towards the sounds, whatever it was began to growl at him.

They also found trees that had been pushed over by...something.

There are black bears known to be active in that part of Missouri, but I've never seen a bear completely down a tree like they found during their exploration.

Bert said that he had used to say that he would only believe something if he saw it. (Typical Missouri "show me" response) He said that belief began when he saw the full body apparition of a ghost once.

Bert - "I woke up one night and saw a ghost above me...that happened 4 or 5 times...I know I was awake...I couldn't breathe...a full apparition of a person...ghostly white...grey...it was evil whatever it was".

What type of creature is present near the huge sinkhole near King Sink in Missouri? Is it an aggressive bear that is intimidating the other creatures there...or something else? This is yet another strange encounter from deep in the woods of Missouri as many continue to seek the truth of what lurks there.
