My guest is Mike who is from TN, and he will be sharing his encounter when he was out one night in the forest. Mike says “My grandmother always warned us to stay out of the woods after dark, she said that booger would get us but I never believed in any of this.
One night I was out and I saw eye shine near the ground and thought it was a cougar until the creature stood up. The creature stood about seven feet tall. My friends and I tried to leave the area as quickly as possible.
I told my grandmother what happen and she shared with me the encounter she had with these creatures many years ago when her home was attacked by them during the night. Recently we had large fires pass through the area and we kept hearing strange vocalizations coming from the wood line. There is more to the story, please feel free to contact me I would like to share it.”

My Father and ancestors on that side are from the Ozarks of Mo., Douglas County. My Father and most his brothers moved to Midland, MI just before and during WWII. Some of my Aunts from that area would talk about the boogers, Get in the house before dark or the booger man will get you. Of course I thought the Booger Man was just fictional in order to keep children grounded. In the past 10 years I came to realize what the Booger Man is. I had one remaining Aunt in Ava, Mo that passed last Jan. We would write back and forth, especially at Christmas and I would always copy a Bigfoot report from the BFRO that occured in that area. Easy to find since the Mark Twain National Forest is in this County on the eastern edge. My cousins down there told me she always got a kick out of those stories.

Charles, the Ozarks are as beautiful as they are dark and deep; I hope you get to visit there again. Last July, I was part of a party of 3 that backpacked a 75 mile section of Mark Twain. At the end of day 3, one member of our party suffered a bad ankle injury and we had to make the decision to leave him at a trail head while two of us hiked the remaining 13 miles out to get to a vehicle. We were unarmed and stripped our packs down to bare essentials to flash the 20K in the dark. The Ozarks are REALLY dark. We made it back to our injured mate; however, all I could think of was running into a booger on the Ozark Trail. Worse yet, our injured friend was bagged out with a bunch of food without a firearm. Next time, I am taking some protection and a 4th hiker. Not my brightest moment (knowing what we, and your relatives, know about southern Missouri). Longest night ever….

My dad’s side too. My dad was from Arkansas. I thought they were just trying to keep us kids in at night so we wouldn’t stay out late at night.

This could be a dogman too but it’s difficult to tell what it is. Without know how far away you are, how tall the trees and brush are can’t say for sure . Keep us guessing!
