Tales of MoMo started when I was a kid, and we camped and fished on the Salt river alot....as in every single weekend, regardless of the weather.
Us kids were pretty shook up about it, but my dad and grandpa insisted that it was total BS and told us HARSHLY to stop being stupid. "There's nothing out there"!
Funny thing though....They both started packing deer rifles and shotguns, and Dad always had his pistol on his hip.....Just for the occasional copperhead ya know😅
Lots of things in the woods, or along the river can get a person all freaked out when you have that stuff in your head. A Crane rookery caused me to quickly end a float on the Little Niangua once ! I felt like an idiot later when I figured out what it was......But hey, I had never heard THAT before. Have YOU ? 😳
The first time I heard a bobcat screaming had me headed for the house pretty quick too! 😅
