Legends Says Sinister Little Boy Haunts Hikers in Missouri Ozarks

By Doc Holiday at 100.9 The Eagle

Have you heard this story about the lost boy of the Missouri Ozarks? According to Ranker, it’s the scariest urban legend in Missouri. This creepy story which I saw shared by Backpacker involves a young boy who tales say got lost in the woods. The story says that this young boy walked into the woods near Goodnight Hollow, Missouri just north of Lake of the Ozarks.

The story says that in 1903 when this little boy was 8 years old, he became hopelessly lost in the woods. He was never found according to the legend, but that’s not the last we heard about the little boy.

Those that would go hiking in those Missouri woods near where the boy disappeared shared terrifying stories of how they would suddenly have marks of beatings appear on their skin when they reached that area. Those that had this happened were the lucky ones. Many hikers were never seen again.
