A – Z Cities with Mysteries – Real & Fictional

 

Joplin, MO



In 2011, a horrific tornado hit Joplin, Missouri. It leveled buildings and killed over 150 people. Children that survived shared stories about humanoid creatures they nicknamed “The Butterfly People”. One common element is that as they were on the brink of death, The Butterly People appeared before them, protecting them from the falling debris of the tornado.

Skeptics believe the stories are the result of mass hysteria. Stress from near-death experiences could cause people to believe they’re experiencing something supernatural. Or predetermined belief (since Joplin lies within the religious belt).

Believers of the Butterfly People think they’re really angels that the children perceived as butterflies.
