MO OSAGE 1984-85 TR#83 38 35N 091 56W * Internet, Lee Nash, Dec 4, 98. It was back in 1984-85. Bill Browski a very close friend of told me a story. Bill and five of his buddies went on fishing trip for the weekend in the summer, August. It was at the Osage River in Missouri. They arrived on a Friday in the late afternoon, and they set up their camp site. Late that night as they slept, Bill was awakened by a strange smell, and he had also heard foot steps in the distance. He hesitated for a moment while his buddies slept. He had dozed back to sleep, but was then awakened again for the second time. This whatever it was , was screaming a blood curdling yell. The next morning as they all geared up for fishing, Bill sat silent. Later that afternoon as they fished down-river, their boat came to a sudden halt. They thought they had hit a log or something of that nature. Suddenly they begun too move freely. Off in the distance, approximately 50 feet from them, they noticed a blackish-brown head surfacing near shore. With disbelier, they all saw the creature stand up and walk from the surface to the shore. About 6-8 feet tall, staring at them, screaming and waving it's arms. Needless to say they packed up their camp and left in a hurry. I was about13-14 years old when Bill told me that story. Bill,GOD bless him. He died a few years ago.

MO PIKE 1972 TR100 1477FT 392656N 0910305W . Also, because the creature had been seen carrying a goat, Coleman had said that it reminded him of the Momo sighting of 1972. In this sighting, a shaggy haired Bigfoot was seen carrying off a dog under its arm near the town of Louisiana, Missouri. As it turns out, this was a most prescient insight.

TR 93 JAN 2000 * A posting on my web page tells of a pair hitchhiking from Hannibal to Louisiana, MO, July 21st, 1972 around 11 PM on route UU, Pike County. Witness was walking along UU when he heard cattle running, and he noticed a dark figure in the moonlight walking casually behind them. There was an awful smell like a dead skunk, rotten meat, and feces together. There was a blood curdling scream. Stopping to look at the “farmer” 3-400 feet away, witness noted it wasn’t a farmer. Tall and dark in the moonlight and seemed to have a fur coat, and started walking toward the witness fast, and it stepped over the four foot barbed wire fence without breaking stride, and the witness ran. It followed witness to a nearby farmhouse where there were about ten dogs. The farmer with a shotgun came to the door and witness soundlessly pointed. The creature was twice as tall as himself (eleven feet) had golf ball size red glowing eyes, large hands and feet and was only five feet away, and the dogs were attacking it, and it was swatting them like flies. It had matted hair and was dark reddish brown with long arms and a smell that was nauseating. The farmer retreated, closing the door and shutting off the light and abandoning witness on the porch. The dogs distracted it, and witness ran all the way to intersection of UU and54, and his friend picked him up. Hannibal Marion MO 394230N 0912131W 502

Sighting Text:
TR 90 AUG 1999 *From: sierra@n2.net (Bobbie Short) *** I use to live in St., Peters, Missouri I was close to 20 yrs old when we had a sighting of a creature in the late 1970's. The creature was seen in St. Peters, Missouri. This happened downtown St. Peters at a railroad bridge that crosses Dardenne Creek. The creek may be 20 to 30 miles long and drains into the Missouri River. Downtown St. Peters is a very small farming town. If you blink, your already through town. The creature could easily move around without ever being seen. The creek has large levees on both sides and was heavily wooded at the time. A friend and I used to sit by the creek or on the railroad bridge and talk. One night we were climbing on the bridge. My friend was the daring type, so I didn't think much about the shadows I saw. I thought it was just my friend fooling around. I yelled at my friend asking what he was doing? To my surprise, it was never him moving around. We just laughed it off and went on chatting. My friend had to urinate so he went to the end of the railroad bridge and started to go. Whatever was following us lifted the railroad timbers and tried to grab my friend. We ran approximately 1 mile back to his parent's home. I have left out a lot of details as I'm disabled now and it's hard to write. This animal was seen many times after our first sighting and was seen by our friends. This animal is violent, tried to kill my friend, smells like rotting hair, it lets out a scream like a panther. One major thing that is different about this creature and that is it has only 3 fingers, like a tree sloth. The reason I say this is because we found handprints in the banks of the creek and the mud prints under the bridge. We never found a footprint. We saw the imprints of the fingers and the nails in the soft mud of the creek banks. It appeared they would then grab the steel beams under the railroad bridge and it would leave the muddy hand prints on the beams. The odd part was we never found a footprint I say these were handprints only because they wouldn't support a creature of this size. All 3 fingers were approx 1 1/2 inch in diameter and approx 8" long with the middle finger slightly longer. Each nail was approximately 3 to 4 inch long and was curved like a eagle claw. I would assume both hands had 3 fingers because of its ability to climb under the bridge. The creature was approximately 8 to 9 feet tall, couldn't tell if it had a tail, only saw it from the front, appeared to be male, very long and matted hair on whole body, hair color was a very dark brown, could barely see its eyes through the hair, the shoulders looked to be close to 5 foot wide from shoulder to shoulder, very short neck, its arms were long as the hands hung past the knees, body shape looked like the classic Bigfoot pictures, except the arms were longer and the hands were different. I could not describe the feet as for the amount of hair. The creature had a very bad rotting hair type smell. It also let out a panther type scream one night as we must have startled it. The creature was or appeared aggressive to us as it pushed over a dying tree in the woods one night. Granted the tree was dead but it took a lot of strength to push over a tree that was about 3 foot in diameter. That was the same night it let out the scream. The other times we could tell it was getting near was you would smell this foul odor. It moved very quiet in the creek and the woods for an animal of this size. I couldn't begin to give you an approximate weight of the creature. The only thing I could think why it was aggressive is one night it appeared to be a female with 2 small ones with it. She stayed in the brush, I couldn't tell if it was bent over or what position to keep the 2 small ones guarded. She appeared to be maybe a 1/3 of the size of the male. She was 50 to 75 yards from us and the closest we got to the male was maybe 40 to 50 foot away. I have told many people of this sighting over the yrs, no one believes it. There was 5 people there one time that seen this creature and we seen it maybe 4 to 5 times in a short period of time. I guess it went to a different location on the creek. I assume it walked mainly in the water as not to leave a few tracks as possible. Let me know if you need more info. The only mistake I made was I never thought of bringing a camera along. That's life. People probably would just say the pictures were fake. You know how that goes. At least I know in my mind what I saw, heard and smelled. At the time, I was working for a company and I was talking with another friend about my past and we just happen to go down by the bridge. I was showing him around and to my surprise I spot these prints freshly made in the mud in the creek. Chills ran up my back, I don't know what to say to this person as they may think I made the tracks myself.
