Friends' Chilling Encounter with a Mysterious Beast in Missouri Woods

A chilling tale of a possible encounter with a Bigfoot has been making the rounds on YouTube, and I couldn't wait to share it with our readers. The video, posted by the YouTube channel Dixie Cryptid, tells the story of two friends who went on a backpacking trip in the Missouri countryside in the summer of 1985. The pair, both armed with a 12-gauge shotgun and a Ruger 10/22 semi-auto 22 caliber rifle, set out to explore an overgrown trail in the woods, hoping to shoot some squirrels along the way. As they ventured deeper into the woods, they stumbled upon an old plow and an abandoned car, both of which appeared to have been left behind many years ago. It was then that they heard a strange grunting or snorting sound coming from the trees. Assuming it was a buck, they decided to investigate, hoping to return when deer season arrived. However, as they continued up the trail, the woods became eerily quiet, and they could hear the strange sound getting closer and closer. Suddenly, they came upon a dilapidated house, hidden away in the woods. The paint was gone, the windows were missing, and the front porch roof hung almost to the ground. Despite the warning signs, the friends decided to explore the house, where they found more evidence of abandonment, including an old wood cookstove and animal scat. As they poked around the house, they heard the strange sound once again, this time right outside the door. They grabbed their guns and prepared for the worst, but as they looked out the window, they saw nothing but trees. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, they decided to explore the upstairs of the house. There, they found a nest made of long grass and leaves, woven with tree branches. And that's when things took a turn for the worse. The friends heard a loud crash outside the house, followed by a growl and the sound of something tearing through the woods. They grabbed their guns and ran out of the house as fast as they could, only to be greeted by a rock the size of a bowling ball, hurled at them from the trees. As they ran down the trail, they heard a horrendous roar, unlike anything they had ever heard before. They didn't stop running until they reached the old plow, where they caught their breath and listened for any signs of danger. The video leaves many questions unanswered, but one thing is clear: something strange and terrifying was lurking in those woods. I can't help but wonder if the friends had a close encounter with one of these elusive creatures.
