Many universities around America have urban legends about tunnels. That's certainly the case with Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
If you haven't been told the story of Missouri's "Bubbleheads", you likely will someday. It's one of the most retold urban legends in Missouri. What those that tell it may not realize is that the story of The Bubbleheads really is true, but it's likely not what you think.
I've done a little experiment. I've shared a Missouri urban legend that I've just come across with several of my friends. Without exception, every single one of them was freaked out. What is this horrific Missouri tale? It involves a family, a young girl and a lost cabin in the woods.
