Puckett's Cave Giant

The Puckett's Cave Giant was an alleged giant skeleton that was claimed to have been excavated by Billy Harman from Puckett's Cave near Steelville, Missouri during 1933, described in a report by Guy Forshey for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine as measuring 8 feet (2.44 m.) in height. Forshey's story noted that people in Steelville had reached out to Aleš Hrdlička, anthropologist at the National Museum, to have him investigate the find, but it is unclear that he ever did.
