Episode 86: The Missouri Monster

Mar 5

Mystery Category: Cryptids / Hominid Sightings

The Story: For one "stinky" summer in 1972, a small Missouri town was besieged by a 7-foot-tall, hair-covered entity (Momo) that left behind more than just footprints. We look at the local media frenzy and the physical evidence that shut down a town before the internet ever made "monsters" a global obsession.

The Thing, The Missouri Monster, Momo—whatever you might call the shambling sasquatch that tore through the small town of Louisiana, MO, this lesser-known Bigfoot was, for a few weeks in 1972, the frenzied focus of locals and paranormal researchers alike.
