Among a certain cast of Americans, there’s a belief beyond reasonable doubt that a human-sized ape-like creature is roaming the tree-lined forests of North America, looking for eternal companionship or a nice, tasty snack at the very least.
That creature, lovingly referred to as “Bigfoot,” has never been confirmed to be a real thing, though there are hundreds of reported sightings of the creature through the years, with countless blurry photos of the creature in question during recent decades.
While no one has definitively produced evidence that any form of a Sasquatch exists, that doesn’t stop countless residents of states like Missouri from reporting their run-ins with Bigfoot nonetheless, with certain parts of the state doing so more than others.
