Dinosaur Find at Missouri Institute of Natural Science
A group of fossil hunters is just back in the Ozarks after a dinosaur dig out west. KY3's Paul Adler got a chance to see what they've hauled out of the earth on their latest adventure.
Matt Forir, Director of the Missouri Institute of Natural Science, says, this is a turtle... (showing Paul in the video) it's upside down... The upside isn't very good... The bottom is the best part...
Paul reports that fresh from a dig in Wyoming. Matt Forir is showing off fossils-- like most people share photos from vacation.
Matt shows Paul, the teeth are this long.. and you can see the very point of one here and here.. These big giant teeth.
Matt tells us the teeth are from a Mosasaur. He tells us other pieces and parts of the water based beast are in bags they brought back from Wyoming.
And you may have hear about Henry the Headless Triceratops. They've got a big part of that guy in the Missouri Institute of Natural Science.
Matt says, (Henry) is headless for right now... But, we still continue to look for the head and we will not stop.
They're working on assembling Henry-- We're told to look for the big display next year.
And don't forget about that turtle we showed you... It might just be greeting you when you walk in the door-- as a door-stop.
Matt Forir tell us, it'll be an attractive little piece... A conversation piece for the museum and become a touch fossil... And that's what makes our museum unique in that people get to touch fossils in the museum.
You can see the museum and help support the mission of the Missouri Institute of Natural Science this Friday night. There's an event called the Mammoth Mile 5K, fun run and Night at the Museum. More information on how to sign up here.

8 Haunted Places in Springfield MO
While there are more than enough things to do in Springfield, MO., there are also some haunted places to visit if you want to be scared out of your skin…this begs a question..
If you don’t pay your exorcist, will you get repossessed?
I kid, Springfield, MO.! While we do have some awesome haunted houses during Halloween, such as Dungeons of Doom and Hotel of Terror, there are some other haunted hotels, theaters and even a University known for their apparitions.
For a fun drinking game, watch our video and take a sip every time you hear the word, “apparently.” Only if you are 21 and up though – and drink responsibly!
Haunted Places in Springfield, MO.
1. Drury University
Drury was founded in 1873, but was built on an Indian burial ground as well as being the center stage for some Civil war battles. It also stands where there used to be Victorian Homes.. one little girl was reported killed in a fire – she went back into her house to grab her teddy bear and never made it out. Some students have seen her in a little pink dress around the campus.
2. The Gilloiz Theater
It opened in 1926, and in the 1960’s rumors came out about an apparition of a little boy who hangs out by the restrooms.
There was also a projectionist named Martin who died in the projection room one fateful New Year’s Eve. People have seen shadows move through the balcony, the main floor and sometimes at the rail of the stage system.
3. Pythian Castle
The cool thing about Pythian Castle is they have ghost tours you can sign up for.
It was built back in 1913 and was many things including a senior citizen’s home and also an orphanage for a while. It was recently shown on Ghost Adventures.
I did have a friend Michelle go on a ghost tour and reveal pictures of unexplained things which were erring on the side of scary. She caught pictures of orbs and other things when she went on the ghost tour with her daughter. *shudders*
4. University Plaza Hotel
Haunted by a dude called “The Colonel” who is most often spotted between midnight and 4am. He is thought to be from the Civil War era. Another place to add to your list of haunted places in Springfield, MO.!
5. Campus Inn
Located on N. Glenstone, there are supposedly two apparitions here. One is Carl, who was a busboy and appears to be harmless. The other is a female apparition who has been known to hit and push guests. Looks like we have a poltergeist in our midst!
6. Springfield Little Theater
Rumored to have been haunted since the 1920s, a stagehand hung himself above the stage. There have been sightings of an extra cast member on stage (who isn’t supposed to be there), and shadows moving along the catwalks.
7. Walnut Street Inn
A three-story bed and breakfast, the Walnut Street Inn was built in the 1880’s and people have reportedly felt they were being “watched.” When they renovated in 1998, some things were stirred up and the activity in the home increased. Some people have claimed seeing a woman sitting at a table near the wall who disappears when you try to talk to her.
8. Phelp’s Grove Park
Apparently, a female apparition has been sighted standing underneath the bridge holding up her wedding dress. A newly-wed couple lost control of their vehicle and died in the park. She is seen standing underneath the third bridge in the park. This is a more recent finding but interesting nonetheless.

Severe Weather Ahead (University of Missouri)
Midwesterners anxiously awaiting the escape of bitter cold weather and the arrival of spring may not have much pleasant weather to look forward to this year. Tony Lupo, department chair and professor of atmospheric sciences in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources at the University of Missouri, says the approaching storm season could be more active than normal.
Lupo says the upcoming weather pattern resembles that of the 2002-2003 season, the worst season on record, when as many as 109 tornadoes swept across Missouri. Similar to the 2002-2003 season, scientists have recorded a weak El Nina temperature trend in the Pacific Ocean, a colder than usual winter in the Midwest, and a jet stream running through the southern portion of the United States, all of which indicate a stormier season.
A weak El Nino tends to create warmer and very moist air that is pushed into the central U.S by the jet stream, Lupo said. The collision of this air with prevailing colder air triggers a clash of cold and warm air masses that produce strong thunderstorms.
Mid-March to June is considered the Midwest storm season with stronger outbreaks occurring in late March and April when leftover winter air still lingers over the Midwest. This winter season was the 13th coldest winter since the 1890s and, despite a slight warming trend in late February, much of the northern U.S. still has a snow pack that will create cooler-than-normal conditions into the spring months, according to Lupo.
In addition to an increase of tornadoes this spring, Lupo expects frequent severe storms with damaging winds, hail, lightning and flash flooding.
Weve been stuck in a prolonged period of winter weather that could change quickly into a stormy spring, Lupo said.
Lupo received his doctorate from Purdue in 1995 and is currently the principal investigator at the Global Climate Change Group. The Global Climate Change Group investigates how global climate change may impact long-term weather patterns and the growing season in the Midwest. He has written 34 papers on factors that influence large-scale weather patterns. Lupo is also a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in October 2007.

Marijuana Could be a Popular Topic in Jeff City This Year
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.-- Believe it or not, it was only 30 years ago marijuana was being demonized and TV news stations (ours included) were running 20-minute specials on what experts at the time were calling a dangerous gateway drug. Flash forward to today, where the substance is now legal in Missouri for medical use and where, if state reps Barabara Anne Washington and Ron Hicks are right, it'll be legal for recreational use sooner than you might think.

Springfield Residents try to Preserve History of Lincoln High
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Springfield Greene County Library District, History Museum on the Square, Missouri State University, Drury and Greene County Archives have partnered together to document the history of Lincoln High School in an online platform so we are gathering resources within art collections and also within the community, photographs, letters, grade cards and oral history interviews, Brian Grubbs with the Springfield Greene County Library said.
People will come and sit down to talk with us about their experiences, their favorite teachers and we are recording all of that information and we are going to put it online to help preserve the history of Lincoln, Grubbs said.
Well, Lincoln was not only a black school, it was a community school, Norma Duncan, who attended Lincoln High School, said. It took all the resources we had plus the community to keep it going because it was a very small school and we did not get the money or supplies that other schools did. The classes might have been bigger in grade school but by the time we got to high school, if you had 20 to25 kids then you were lucky.
Duncan had only attended Lincoln through the ninth grade when Springfield schools were integrated. Then, she went to Central High School and graduated in 1957.
I was very anxious to go to the white school because they had more of everything, Duncan said. They had better books, they had a better curriculum. It was just so much broader than what we had. They did the best they could with what we had at Lincoln.
