This week, The Spooky Darlings head to Missouri, the Show-Me State. 

First, we investigate the Ozark Howler, a legendary beast said to stalk the Ozarks with glowing eyes and an eerie howl. Next, we head to Nixa to discuss Paul the Nixa Hellhound— a bizarre canine cryptid that has become a local legend. Finally, we travel to Louisiana, Missouri to cover the infamous Momo (the Missouri Monster)—Missouri’s own Bigfoot-like creature.

Are these three cryptids truly different creatures… or did the sisters uncover some suspicious overlap? Tune in as we break down the sightings, stories, and spooky details behind three of Missouri’s most famous monsters.
