In a recent video from the YouTube channel Odd & Untold, the topic of discussion is the Missouri Monster, also known as Momo. The video delves into the history and lore surrounding this elusive creature, as well as sharing some contemporary sightings in Stone County. I was excited to watch this video and bring the information to our readers. The video begins with the host discussing the well-known sighting from July 11, 1972, where two young boys and their older sister, Doris, saw a massive, dark-haired creature holding what appeared to be a dead dog. Doris described the creature as having a pumpkin-shaped head and large glowing orange eyes. This sighting is just one of many that have been reported in Missouri over the years. One interesting aspect of Momo is the physical description given by witnesses. While most Bigfoot sightings describe a conical-shaped head, Momo is often described as having a pumpkin-shaped head. Additionally, many witnesses report seeing the creature carrying a dead animal, such as a dog or a deer. The video also shares some contemporary sightings in Stone County, as reported on the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) website. One such report comes from a witness who, as a teenager, saw a large figure hiding behind trees in her yard near Cape Fair in 1978. The witness describes the creature as moving in a zigzag pattern and clearing a barbed-wire fence in one stride. I find these stories fascinating and they add to the intrigue and mystery surrounding this elusive creature. I encourage our readers to watch the video and read more about Momo on the BFRO website. *Note: The
