LINK: Momo the Missouri Bigfoot is Back! (Or So the Tourism Bureau Claims)

Momo caught on camera?

With an an endearingly bad video posted on YouTube, VisitMo -- our state's tourism bureau -- is suggesting that "Momo," the Missouri monster, actually exists.

There's no question that a monster sighting did capture the imagination of Mississippi River towns from here clear up to Hannibal back in the early 1970s. That part, at least, did happen.

According to legend, Momo was first spotted in July 1972 by two young boys playing outside in the town of Louisana.  

The boys claimed they were approached by a six- or seven-foot-tall beast that had no neck, a hirsute body and emitted a foul odor. It was clutching a dead dog, flecked with blood.

Soon, other sightings were reported nearby. UFO enthusiasts came to investigate. Someone even wrote a country song about it that played on the radio. (For more background, see here and here).
