The sightings of mysterious creatures in the Missouri woods have been happening for decades and seem to be increasing lately. It was a hot summer night in the middle of July of 1972 when three children near Louisiana, Missouri said they saw something bizarre. Three Harrison children—Doris (15), Terry (8), and Wally (5), claimed they saw a massive creature that stood between 7 and 8 feet tall. The Bigfoot Field Research Organization has the chilling details of the July 15, 1972 encounter in Pike County, Missouri. There were several reports in Pike County, Missouri during 1972 of a strange creature and that's why they have made this era the most famous for Bigfoot sightings in Missouri.
