Wings of the Storm: The Butterfly People of Joplin, Missouri | True Scary Stories

In this week’s episode, we journey to Joplin, Missouri, where tragedy and mystery collided during the devastating 2011 tornado. As the city reeled from the storm’s destruction, eerie stories began to surface—accounts of winged, glowing figures said to have appeared in the heart of the chaos, shielding the vulnerable from harm. Known locally as the Butterfly People, these mysterious protectors have become part of Joplin’s enduring folklore. We explore the strange and unsettling tales that rose from the rubble—stories of survival, fear, and the unexplained forces that may have watched over a city in its darkest hour.
