A pair of Sasquatch at Osage River Along Missouri & Arkansas Border
David B messages RMSO
I grew up on the Missouri/Arkansas border {read Hillbilly}
In September of my 16th year a friend and me were hunting in the hills just above the Osage River.
We stopped at the cliff above the river and saw 2 bears playing in the water below us. One was huge and the other about our size and after watching them for awhile it occurred to us they couldn't possibly be bears by the way they moved and played around. They were gorillas, had to be.
My friend stood up and yelled at them and they took off running back into the woods.
When we got home we reported it to the Conservation Commission and the local newspaper about a couple escaped gorillas....boy did we catch hell....for years.
Years later we knew we has watched a BF family for at least 30 minutes from 50 yards away. The year was 1960.
To add a little more info - the big one {mother ?} was dark brown and the small one {kid?} was more black than brown and the reason we though they were gorillas is because that is what their faces looked like and they walked on 2 legs...so..there you have it.

Staff member takes short cut back to camp & runs into Bigfoot
H Roe Bartle Scout Reservation
Sasquatch Encounter near Osceola, Missouri
Aryk writes RMSO
I had commented on one of your Facebook post and you responded, asking what happened. So, for the first time ever, here's what happened.
During the summer of 84, I was serving as a staff member at one of the three camps on the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation outside Osceola Missouri.
It was a typical July day. Temp in the low to mid 90's and humid as heck. I'd gotten done with work and decided to walk over to one of the other camps where a buddy of mine was at with his troop.
I decided to take the short route through the woods which would cut about 30 mins off my trip. The trek through the timber was downhill for about half the distance. Then across a creek and uphill to the camp.
I had gotten to where I knew the creek was just 50 yards or so ahead when I was hit with a dank, musky smell. Very similar to wet dog. I remember wondering what I was smelling but didn't dwell on it. Then as I got in sight of the creek things changed.
A sudden sensation that I was being watched came over me. The hair on back of my neck stood. I thought of that smell and the fact it had rained briefly about an hour before.
I knew that (in 1984) there were no bears in Missouri. But thought of bobcats or something like that, that I may have caught a whiff of that may be watching.
So I put my back against a tree and stayed still. If there was a 30 pound cat near, I didn't want to spook it. Or make it think it had to defend itself. I was young, not stupid.
After what I think was about 20mins I was just about to continue on my way when I saw something move to my right.
A hairy, dark, upright figure stepped out from behind cover. By cover I mean two good sized trees close together with large shrubs growing around them.
This person, animal, whatever it was, was moving down towards the creek while looking my direction.
The grade was down but not very steep. But this thing covered the 20-ish yards to the creek in just a few strides. Looking my way the whole time.
Once it reached the creek it squatted at the water and just looked around for what seemed like forever. But was probably 30-45 seconds in reality. Then it stood up and followed the creek till it was out of sight.
I stayed in place for a while. Listening. Watching. Wanting to make sure it was gone. Then I broke the first rule of safety on the Reservation. NO RUNNING! I bolted out of there with so much speed and dexterity that my football coach would have been proud.
Once back at the staff area I went straight to the man in charge and told him what I'd just seen. He first told me that the last couple years there have been some strange stuff going on in the woods. You see, they had dammed the Osage river to create the Truman Reservoir know as Truman Lake. And a lot of animals had moved up the hills because of it.
Secondly, he said "Keep it to yourself if you don't want to be called crazy". But HE believed me.
Anyway, that's what happened. I know it's not very eventful. But I also know not every encounter is.
I'd be happy to know if you've heard of any other sightings from this area. It would be comforting to know I'm not the only one.
Thank you. And keep searching.

Hi Aryk
We received a sighting report a couple of years ago where the witness watched two bigfoot swimming and wading around in the Osage River.
The Bigfoot like creature must have been eight to ten feet tall
The Missouri monster walked three times
around our caravan which was seven feet high

You give very informative information on the subject, as I have had my own encounters in America. The most unnerving encounter happened in Branson, Missouri. I enjoy your expeditions. I really enjoy when you go in Ape Canyon, I think that is what it I s called.
I am British and recently found out that I have Leukemia. So, I appreciate what all of you do and having limited mobility from S.P. it limits my range. There is some woodlands behind housing complex, where my husband and I will be living, which I can take at my own pace. I have three certificates in Science. They are in General. Environmental, and Biological. I am a microbiologist, but also am an Environmental Scientist and have skills in General Science.
My husband has collected specimens for me to analyze. I may be limited in some ways, but make up in others. I love the areas that you cover. I could never study those areas for specimens relating to Sasquatch. I think you should have your own tv programme to get support for what you do. All of you are very experienced, and good at what you do.
I HAVE seen a Sasquatch, and had experiences with them. The profound one was at Branson, Missouri. It walked three times around our caravan which was seven feet high and we heard it breathing loudly going around the caravan. I saw it's legs and that was enough for me I must have been 14 years old. The creature must have been eight to ten feet tall. That is just an estimation based on how breathing sound was heard on top of the caravan. That was the most terrifying encounter.

9 to 11 foot tall, long armed, barrel chested monster"
Missouri Couple Ran Off by
Giant Momo Monster a Blue River Sasquatch
Hi, my name is Michael R.
I am a sea captain and live in Ft Lauderdale, Fl. for many years now.
I grew up in KCMO South Kansas City. Martin City area to be exact.
I had had a life changing encounter with a Sasquatch in Jackson County Mo, in March of 1999. The location is east of Holmes Rd at about 129th just north of Blue Ridge Road between the Blue River and the railroad tracks.
My girlfriend Whitney and I were going down to this spot to make a fire, listen to music and relax at a cool little fort my little brother and I had built there a couple of years before. I was almost 19 years old. We grew up spending a lot of time in the Blue River trails area and was an awesome area to get away from people and fish, snake hunt, mountain bike and all that.
It was evening and the sun was going down. We parked the car at the little shopping center at Holmes and Blue Ridge and started walking the trail north along Holmes Road until the trail goes east to the rr track then we walk south across the bridge to the spot where we turn right or west and climb down the hill from the tracks and into the woods.
The fort was in the middle between the river and the rr tracks. On our walk after being on the trail for a bit from the car we were hearing these unbelievable screaming sounds from off in the distance. It stopped us and we were both looking at each other wondering what it was! I had no clue and I knew everything in those woods, grew up in them.
After a few minutes we heard it again from another direction louder and seemed to shake the ground and sounded angry. We were on the tracks now getting close to climbing down to the woods. She was very apprehensive to continue and wanted me to just get her back to the car. I reassured her that I was armed and these were my woods and we were alright. We got to the fort started the fire just before it was dark. We put on a battery FM radio and started to forget about the screaming. It was a very clear, cool and bright moon that night. The leaves on the trees were just starting to bud.
It wasn’t long after the sun was set and it was full night we heard it again and it was definitely down on the river basin somewhere along the river. At this point I was getting pissed. I could tell it was directly screaming at us but I couldn’t see past the fire light at all with the trees. She turned the radio down really low as we looked at each other and around with some concern. Moments later we both heard absolutely massive footfalls in the woods to the north between us and the river.
It was close enough to get a visual so I stepped out of the firelight in that direction and saw a 9 to 11 foot tall, long armed, barrel chested monster running in the woods above the river bank from north to south (my right to left) at 30 yards away and at about 20 plus mph. No mistaking it, very clear.
Looked like a man but impossible. I tripped at least twice just trying to get back into the firelight, drew my pistol, kicked the radio off, pulled Whitney to me and had her hold onto me from behind as I held up my pistol at a 45 degree angle pointing 10 feet in the air in the direction that thing was going. I was short and mean, when she would ask what it was? I told her to shut up and do not speak! It was absolutely silent, I was just holding that gun up and she was holding on to me terrified. The creature had just stopped running, moving & screaming (everything)! For at least 45 minutes we stood there like that.
Silent and terrified, to put into perspective I was holding a high capacity Glock chambered in 357 sig with 3 backup magazines in my shoulder rig and I knew I (we)were absolutely helpless if that thing came at us out of the darkness and burst into the firelight at us.
To me it had to be standing there watching us. I didn’t want to except that, but it was true and I knew it.
After a while I reached for my cell phone and called my younger brother who was with a group of friends and told him to bring them all down to the fort and walk us the hell out of there. He did and I thought the ridicule would never stop.
I tried so hard to get this out of my mind. It’s impossible. I still can see and hear it just like yesterday. It wasn’t until I was in Florida in 2002 someone had left a tv on with a Bigfoot documentary on in the background and I heard a recording of the screaming that I decided to come to terms with what I had encountered. I now follow all the research I can and learn everything we know about them and have for more than 20 years now.
It is important for me to add my experience to the pile in the hopes of encouraging others to do so as well. I have lost touch with Whitney and have tried to find her in recent years to revisit and talk about our experience. With no success.
I still visit the location when I go back to see friends and family there. I am very careful who I discuss this with as I must keep total credibility in my career as a captain.
Last year I finally decided to submit my report to the bfro and no reply.
I remember every detail and if any questions I will leave a cell number.
RMSO responds
Some in Missouri call Bigfoot the Momo Monster.
Usually if a Bigfoot is interested in an area for some reason or has young ones in the area, they will try to intimidate folks into leaving.
Sounds like you experienced an intimidation display.

Woman Spots Bigfoot on Grandparents Property
Boot Heel Sasquatch Encounter in Missouri near Mississippi River
Kelly D writes RMSO
Hello to you all!
I’d like to begin by telling you how much I enjoy your channel and approach. I very much enjoy your RTD videos and how I each day look forward to watching them. The scenery is stunning, the possibility of seeing, hearing or finding evidence exciting, and I enjoy and appreciate the conversations including that specific to the area and related sightings, as well as any and all other conversation included. I do want to say that being someone scared of heights, that some terrains although giving me the chills at times, doesn’t even matter as I continue watching and enjoy every second of the video! Braver than I at times and I am thankful for that! Thank you so much for sharing.
My sighting occurred many years ago as a child while visiting my Grandparents in southeast Missouri in a very small town close to the Mississippi River. An area referred to by many as the Boot Heel. It wasn’t until about 5 years ago that I even realized what I potentially saw there as a young girl of eight years old.
My Grandparents lived in the country surrounded by farm land with neighbors being quite a ways away. Their home was off a country road with a quarter of a mile driveway, gravel road only wide enough for one vehicle at a time, and lined on each side with giant spaced out trees that reached out and hung over the road. The property was shaped like a giant lollipop. At the end of the drive was a large circle that was their residential area consisting of their home, a barn, and an indoor/outdoor hog house where the pigs could choose when they wanted to be inside the barn or outside in a fenced area. Surrounding the driveway and house was a large farm field. It surrounded their circle of property and then along side the trees of their drive and all the way to the road you turned to their home on.
As a child living in St. Louis, I so enjoyed visiting them. Many of my cousins lived in the area and all would come and visit when we came to town. Ages ranged from 5 years old to 14 years old and there were a lot of us. I suppose like most kids I loved feeding the hogs and playing with their 5 farm dogs and multiple cats. I know for fact the farm dogs loved our visits as always with us. I guess to them like the circus coming to town, entertainment and food.
The adults were all inside and we were all outside playing on the swing set and throwing rocks, black walnuts, and pecans into the burn barrel next to it to see if we could get anything to explode. At the time there were no crops in the field, it was all dirt. It was light tan on the top, but if you kicked what we called the crust off the underneath dirt was darker brown and moist.
Please forgive me, this was quite a while ago and I am also remembering it as a young girl. I had left the other kids to what they were doing and running my way to the house to go inside. Something in my side vision to the right of me caught my eye when running to the house. I immediately stopped and turned to look. Out in the field and in my view between the hog house and barn at first glance looked like a large clump of dirt. Although not normal in the field but sometimes along the edges of it, I was about to dismiss it but then what really got me looking was what looked like two bricks leaning up against the pile of dirt. They really stood out from the rest of it.
Looking closer, it was something on all fours. Similar to a human on all fours like when my Dad would play horsey with us. It was angled at about 45 degrees or so, so I only got a good look at the behind, feet, right thigh, and up the back. I could see to the shoulders but never saw a head, I was looking mostly to the right side of it, I don’t recall much of the right arm. It was still. The entire body was the same color as I can remember as the crusty beige dirt.
If I were to draw it as I remember as a child, I guess I would draw the fur like multiple W next to each other. The right leg was massive, like a trunk of a tree. The bottom quite large. I could not see much of the left leg as the right thigh covered most of it. What was most interesting was the feet and ankle area. The feet looked exactly like bricks, huge and square. I was seeing them directly and only on the bottom, no sides, no tops of them. Same color as the dirt but you could tell no fur on them. Odd as they looked extremely cushioned or padded, almost overstuffed and not like the bottom of a human foot. Also what I remember the most was how the fur seemed to stop at the right ankle, just like blue jeans abruptly end at our ankles. Like a pair of fur pants, seemed really different from any type of animal I had seen and I guess could have just been due to the angle I saw it. I looked for about 2 minutes maybe and then went on my way to the house and I never said anything to anyone.
I didn’t even look for it when I came back outside or any other visit. I had been told stories about the boogey man but it was never described to me so I honestly thought it was a person who just snatched children that stayed out or went out after dark. I just did not know how remarkable what I saw really was. I didn’t smell anything, I didn’t hear anything, I never felt scared or had any threatened feeling then or anytime after, so most likely why I just went hmmm and carried on with my day.
I do recall that there were no farm animals to be seen or heard at the time. No dogs or cats around no noises from them. Pigs all in the house, all quiet and no noises. As a child I didn’t or guess smart enough to notice perhaps they did so for reason. No idea if it had watched us for a while or not, but at time I saw it I would say it could care less we were there and doing what it needed to do. I know it knew we were there, no way to escape all of our screaming and running around a normally quiet property with elderly owners.
My family then and now never discuss anything relating to Bigfoot, just not a family that discusses such things. Unfortunately by the time I had finally realized what I potentially saw both my Grandparents had passed and no opportunity to spark conversations regarding Bigfoot with them.
Well that’s it! Not much but thank you for letting me share it. Keep doing what you are doing as long as you can do it and keep sharing all you can. I so appreciate all of you, the time and money you all invest, and your sharing with us also. I sincerely mean it when I say I look forward to and watch at least one of your videos a day, some multiple times soon probably all of them multiple times.
Keep on squatchin, I will definitely keep watchin!!!
Best regards and take care.

Missouri Woman Observes
8 to 9 Feet Tall Eolia Sasquatch
Rachel D. writes RMSO
Hello there! I came across this email address in a YouTube video that featured a story about a bigfoot sighting. At the end of the story the narrator requested any info on bigfoot sightings be sent to this email address and I wasn't sure if it was just people in your area or any sightings in general.
As I mentioned in the subject line, my sighting was in Missouri during a day trip about an hour and a half north from where I grew up and about 3 hours north from where I live now. My sighting was a little over 12 yrs ago but something I will remember for the rest of my life like it was yesterday! I've never shared my story publicly, honestly I've only told a handful of people but I'm realizing the info might be useful to the bigfoot community in some way.
It was late spring/early summer 2009. My husband, kids and I were taking the back roads to visit a chef friend of ours that had just started working at a farm to table restaurant in Clarksville Missouri right along the Mississippi river. We were on the north east side of hwy 40 on the county roads between Eolia and Clarksville in Pike county.
I look out the front passenger side window and immediately recognize something odd. My attention was drawn to the tallest largest darkest black thing no less than 100 ft from the road that stood out against the field it was in and the backdrop of the woodline behind it.
The next thing that crossed my mind was the stride and the amount of distance it made with each step and the way the massive arms moved as it walked. It had to be between 8-9 feet tall. The next thoughts that followed were that I apparently had just lost all of my marbles because I just saw nothing other than a bigfoot!
There's no other thing it could be! I wanted to tell my husband and kids but I was in such shock at what I just witnessed, I couldn't even utter a word! The only noise that would come out of my mouth was a scream then quickly followed by several 4 letter words over and over.
My husband and kids were so confused! After the initial shock about 5 mins later I was finally able to explain what I had seen to my family. I've replayed that moment over and over again hundreds of times. I don't know why I was one of the lucky ones chosen to see this amazing creature but I'm forever grateful and hope I'm lucky enough to see one again. It opened my mind to the knowledge that there's so much we aren't told because seeing that was as real as spotting a deer in a field.

I'm from Missouri and I've seen a Bigfoot while I was deer hunting.
RMSO responds
Hi William. When you have time please message us the details of your sighting.
William B responds
I was a deer hunting and I saw this big black hairy thing walk up and he was standing in between some bushes and pine trees and looking around.
Then he walked up this logging road that we have, that we deer hunt. And I was sitting in my deer stand, when he walked up he's about 40 yards from me and saw me grunted at me through Rock at me.
I picked up my rifle and pointed at him and looked at the scope and he looked just amazing.
He turned and grunted and ran. I watched him and he stepped over a fence and disappeared.
I've seen him periodically and my friend that lives down there permanently, he sees him quite often
Next time I'm down there I'm going to video tape it so I can send it to you all
I believe there's Bigfoot cuz I saw what I saw it looked similar to a human with the black furry coat on and it was at least 9 ft tall it was huge
