googled "St Louis tunnel" and found the weird shit from a Bigfoot website. A real account of a monster in our city in the 1960's.
In May 1963, another strange creature reared its ugly head in Centreville, Illinois and just across the Mississippi in St. Louis. The initial reports came in from St. Louis when several children reported a "half man, half woman with a half bald head and a half head of hair". It was said to have been seen lurking around the Ninth Street housing project and often disappeared into the an old tunnel around Twelfth Street. The sightings were taken quite seriously by the police and during interviews with researcher Loren Coleman, Patrolman Bill Conreux of the St. Louis Police Department noted that "Those kids were sincere. They saw something." He added that "Supposedly it scuffled with a man near the Patrick Henry School."

Re: Monster in 12 street tunnel
The tunnel they're referring to is most definately the "lucas subway" or whatever you want to call it...the "tunnel" under Tucker Ave.
Patrick Henry is only a couple blocks away.
Probably just a bum...

Re: Monster in 12th street tunnel
Vervus Jones was the old city comptroller back in the late 80's mid 90's (at least that is what I remember). I really just wanted to use his name which I think is one of the greates names in St. Louis Politics ever. Vervus. It just sounds like some kind of rodent to me, it also sounds vaguely pornographic.
