Welcome to What The Heck's Creature Feature! These episodes release on Saturdays and look at folklore and cryptids from around the world! The same academic style is applied to these episodes, but they look at history and eyewitness reports before describing the creature of the week! A lot of the time, theories are a bit more scarce than the main episodes, but the content is still just as interesting.

This week we're looking at the Missouri Momo. Appearing during the Summer of 1972, it plagued the town of Louisiana, Missouri. After being spotted by 3 children, the town kept hearing strange noises and smelling foul odours. Over the course of 3 or 4 weeks, the mysterious creature whipped the town into a frenzy. One man and his friends set up explorations into Marzolf Hill to locate the creature, but found nothing. Who actually saw the creature? What did it smell like? Why is this creature such an obscure part of history? Listen in to find out!
