Creatures

If you'd like to know what has to happen to cause a Missouri bowhunter to leave his campsite and go stay in a hotel, let me tell you the story of how he woke up hearing strange breathing outside of his tent and then a blood-curdling scream.

You'll hear many creatures in the Missouri woods especially at night. A man who just bought a property in the northern part of the state told a story about how he heard coyotes howl one night and that was not unexpected. What he did not expect was what he heard howl back.

We've all been there. You hear a sound outside of your home at night. You go to look outside to see what's going on. That scenario played out for one Missouri family who were frozen in fear when they went to look out of a window to see what made a sound only to realize that something was staring right back at them.

Just when you think you've heard every possible story about a Missouri creature in the woods, something new surprises you. That's what happened to me when I came across a new story of a Missouri man who says he saw a massive creature while hunting for mushrooms.

It's not unprecedented in Missouri to see a helicopter searching for someone. However, for one Missouri man, it was a harrowing experience to see a helicopter chasing something near the bike trail he was on only to learn later that it wasn't a someone, but a something they were after.

I may never go camping near the Missouri River again after some stories have been shared about huge arachnids that apparently also call that area home. Several Missouri fishermen swear it's not an exaggeration or far-fetched tale, but what they really saw with their own eyes.

How many of us have gone to Six Flags in St. Louis, Missouri for a weekend only to drive home late at night? That was the story of two Missouri guys who encountered something they can't explain on a remote highway when they were on their way home.

Rarely do I ever say trust that I am an expert on something. But, in the case of holes that have started appearing in Missouri yards, I am. My expertise is why you never ever want to put your hand down those holes and I can prove why with science, pictures and video.

Missouri has plenty of deadly spiders and snakes that could either end your life or cause you to have a very bad day. But, did you know that one of the top 5 animals most likely to take your life in the Show Me State is one you'd never guess in a million years. I couldn't stop laughing when I learned it and you might respond the same way, too.

Many of my family members over the generations have been Missouri farmers and ranchers. It's part of that way of life to lose cattle one way or another. But, there's one Missouri man who believes that something very bizarre is killing his cows and he's not alone in his belief.
