New Google Map Shows Cryptid Sightings in Missouri and Surrounding States

A new Google map called Cryptid Sightings in Missouri and Neighboring states shows a record of cryptid sightings in Missouri and surrounding states. This is a work in progress. If you have a sighting or evidence of bigfoot such as bent trees, strange huts, footprints, or sounds to report, please send it to margiekay06@yahoo.com with as much detail of the sighting as possible. 

Other groups do not include all sightings, so this project is attempting to include all reports of cryptids to fill in the gaps.

Cryptid Sightings in the KC area

Quest Paranormal Investigation Group has received a number of cryptid reports from the greater Kansas City area and beyond in recent years. We are at a loss as to why there are so many strange unidentified creatures in this area, or as to why there is so much paranormal activity in general. 

In reviewing our files, we have three reports of a short 2' tall kangaroo type creature which was seen in Sugar Creek, Independence, and Blue Springs from 2015-2017 by different individuals. All three were driving at night and saw this unknown animal near or in a roadway. In one case, people had to drive around the creature who was standing in the middle of the road near a Missouri River park. All witnesses reported that the creature was a tan color, had short hair, ears that stood straight up, and it sat back on its haunches. The top part of the body was smaller than the bottom half, and its front legs were short. Unless a small kangaroo escaped from a nearby zoo, or unless this is a baby chupacabra, we have no other explanation. 

Four witnesses describe seeing a very large wolf-size or larger creature with short grey mottled hair and short front legs, large body muscular back end, and a long snout. These sightings were near Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake, off of 40-Hwy in Blue Springs, and near Nevada, Missouri from 2009 to 2019. In all cases, the creature made no sound and moved very fast across or beside the roadway. All sightings were at night after dark. Suggestions have been made that this is a Chupacabra, however, most Chupacabra reports are of a hairless creature that is much smaller. A call to the Missouri Department of Conservation yielded no explanation for the description of this animal. 

One cryptid sighting stands out among the others - and this happened on 23rd Street in Independence in 2015. A woman and her husband left the Hy-Vee grocery store at approximately 8:30 pm and traveled west. Suddenly, a very large wolf-like white animal appeared to their right and ran along the street on the far right side of the road. The creature's back was a tall as the top of the car door. The legs were shorter in front than in back. The husband slowed the vehicle down and came to a complete stop, and as he did so the animal turned in front of the car and then faded out and disappeared right in front of them, leaving the couple to believe that it was some type of inter-dimensional creature. 

There have been a number of Sasquatch sightings in Sugar Creek, Monkey Mountain, Independence, Lee's Summit, Burr Oak Woods, and Grandview in the past six years, but Sasquatch sightings in these areas date back at least to the 1970's. 

In the Sugar Creek case, which is ongoing, witnesses report hearing Sasquatch calls/screams from wooded areas around their houses. The primary witness lived on a farm as a child and does not recognize the calls as any known animal. At a location nearby at the Sugar Creek Conservation area, three men were fishing in a stream in 2014 when a large black Sasquatch walked out of the woods, stared into the stream while looking back and forth, then turned and walked back into the woods. The three men didn't say a word, but dropped their gear and ran to their vehicle. They haven't been back since. 

In Lee's Summit, a witness' dog acted very afraid of something, then she heard a loud grunt/growl that she did not recognize as coming from any known animal. The sound came from the woods behind her house. She no longer walks her dog at night by herself. 

Gigantic bird or Mothman sightings top the list, however, with 22 reports received by Quest in the past few years. Most reports were few and far between, but so far in 2019 we took at least 17 reports from witnesses who saw bird-like creatures with wing-spans of 10' to 36'. One man was able to capture a photo of one of these Mothman type beings in flight in 2014. It had the body of a man and gigantic black wings. We've seen the photo, but don't have permission to release it to the public yet. To me, it looks authentic. (See my other articles on this subject for more details). 

Most of these giant bird reports come from the east Jackson county area near bodies of water, but one was in Overland Park, Kansas on a busy street. Some of the witnesses who filed reports are known to me, so I know they are credible, however, as an investigator, I need proof, and to date, we have little evidence that these cryptid creatures exist. 

If you've seen any type of cryptid please contact us at margiekay06@yahoo.com.

Strange Chupacabra-Like Creature Reported in Western Missouri

The Kansas City Chapter of Missouri MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) has received six reports of a chupacabra-like creature from different witnesses in western Missouri. Investigators request that witnesses to any unusual animals report their sighting to Missouri MUFON.

Each of the six sightings involved one to two witnesses who report seeing a similar animal which either sits on its haunches or walks. The front legs are shorter than the back legs, it has a long snout with fangs and short grey hair. Most witness report that the creature is approximately two feet tall when sitting, but two witnesses say the animals they saw were as large as a small deer.

One animal was spotted near Woods Chapel Road in Blue Springs near Lake Jacomo. It had mottled dark and light gray hair, a boxy large back end, and short front legs making the body shorter in the front than in the back. This particular animal was approximately 40" - 45" long and 28" high.

 A similarly sized creature was seen near Rich Hill Missouri in 2010 by two witnesses driving north on 49 highway. The creature ran across the road in front of the vehicle.

Two witnesses visiting a park at the Missouri river saw a small strange animal sitting on its hind legs in the middle of the road. It did not move and they needed to pull the car off the road to get around the creature. The creature was described as small, with short front legs which reminded the witnesses of a kangaroo, and with a long snout.

The sightings were reported in mid 2010 to August of 2015. All of the locations were in Independence, Blue Springs, Rich Hill, and Clinton, Missouri. No one has yet been able to obtain a photograph.

A call to the Missouri Department of Conservation yielded no explanation.

The reports of this chupacabra type creature come in the wake of a rash of Sasquatch sightings near a wooded area in Belton, Missouri and Independence, Missouri near the Missouri river, and an undisclosed location in Northeast Missouri. Missouri MUFON and other groups are investigating.

Missouri MUFON urges people to carry a camera and take a photo of anything unusual including UFO's and cryptid creatures. Missouri MUFON investigates UFOs, Sasquatch, cryptid creatures, animal mutilations and crop circles, and has trained investigators across the state.

From Wikipedia:Chupacabras can be literally translated as "goat-sucker", from chupar ("to suck") and cabra ("goat"). It is known as both chupacabras and chupacabra throughout the Americas, with the former being the original word,^[4] and the latter a regularization of it. The name in Spanish can be preceded by a singular masculine article (el chupacabras), or the plural masculine article (los chupacabras).

Nat Geo Wild produced a program on the topic in 2013. The show information is available at http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/the-monster-project/galleries/chupacabra/at/beware-the-chupacabra-2074274/ 

H2 the History Chanel aired a chupacabra episode on Monster Quest, available at http://www.history.com/shows/monsterquest/videos/chupacabra-evidence

Recent Bigfoot Sightings and UFOs

As a paranormal and UFO investigator over the past 30 years I've taken reports from witnesses to other events who happen to mention that they've also seen a Bigfoot or two either in conjunction with another event such as a UFO sighting, or alone. After a while, I began to notice two things: 1. Most people don't report Bigfoot sightings to anyone and 2. Many of the large Bigfoot organizations do not have these reports posted on their sites. As far as Missouri goes, there is a LOT more going on here than many people realize, not only as far as UFO sightings and paranormal events go, but also Bigfoot sightings.

Is there a connection to UFOs and Bigfoot?  After taking witness reports from people who have either seen a UFO in the area at the time of their bigfoot sighting or shortly before or after in the same location I have to say that in my opinion, yes, there must be a connection. I watched one witness' video taken just three days after his son saw a Sasquatch in the Four Rivers Conservation area in western Missouri. The video shows flying orbs and unexplained lights everywhere in the wooded area and finally a huge UFO appears in the sky above the group. Coincidence?  I think not.

And the connection doesn't end there. Other strange cryptids have been reported to me including a Chupacabra-like creature and a human/wolf man creature. I saw something myself that I can't explain - twice. This animal was large, approximately 48" long, walking on all fours but with noticeably shorter front legs and a long snout. The back legs were strange, the joints were in the opposite position of a dogs and the back end was large and boxy. The hair was a mottled dark and light grey color. I saw this same creature, or two that look the same in southwest Missouri and in Blue Springs. A call to the Missouri Conservation Department resulted in the explanation that "there is no animal like that in Missouri."

A Kansas City area woman said she recently encountered something more sinister in the woods. She saw a tall creature with a human male body and a wolf head with large fangs - being held back by not one, but two bigfoot. She believes that the bigfoot were protecting her from this vicious-looking creature. I interviewed her several times and believe that she is a rational person and did not imagine this event. She wishes to remain anonymous.

So stay diligent when driving Missouri's highways and back roads and if you see anything out of the ordinary, take photos or video if possible, and record the time and location of the event. Also search the skies and ground for anything else unusual such as a landed craft that may be there in conjunction with a cryptid. I urge you however, not to go camping or hiking in our Missouri woods since more reports are coming in of large unexplained animals that would have the ability to harm or kill a human easily.
