Legends

Almost everyone knows at least part of the legend of Jesse James. But, I doubt many know that there was a movie made about his life that starred his only surviving son. I've found it and you can watch it all.

The town has been gone for over 100 years but one woman is the reason people are still talking about it and visiting her grave today.

Of all the Bigfoot encounters I've shared, this might be the most unique. As a Missouri man tells it, a Bigfoot ate his family's leftovers. This will require some explaining.

It's one of the more interesting Native American legends in Illinois. It's a cave that stories say once was home to a massive bird known as the Piasa.

I want to preface this by stating that much of what I've found is based on legends which may or may not be true. However, it appears there is at the very least some twisted truth in the telling of the Missouri doctor who allegedly stole corpses and at one time owned Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal.
