Mike Rugg Bigfoot Stories: Fort Knox encounter and local man stumbled onto possible Bigfoot burial site [VIDEO]
Every week, Bigfoot Museum curator Mike Rugg tells a few stories he's heard from locals. Mike's first story is about an Army private's close encounter with a Bigfoot at Fort Knox, KY. Mike gives an interesting description of how the creature tried to peer through the private's tent.
The second story is about a man claiming to have seen a family of Bigfoot in an area. He also claims to have stumbled upon a burial ground near the sighting. Mike is planning to meet with the man for further investigation. According to certain Bigfoot researchers, Sasquatch prefer to bury their dead so there might be something to this man's story. Hopefully they find something, but we're not going to hold our breath.
Here's the BFRO's position on the theory of Bigfoot burial grounds:
Do Bigfoot/Sasquatch Bury Their Dead
The topic of Sasquatch burying their dead has been discussed within the BFRO and the Bigfoot Community in general. It is quite possible they bury their dead; they may have learned this by watching First Nations People and the first white settlers to North America burying their dead. It does appear that this species may be aware of its own presence and realizes it can be found by leaving tracks. This was evident in the finding of the Skookum body print. http://www.bfro.net/NEWS/bodycast/context_8.asp This could also explain why so few tracks are found. This type of behavior demonstrates a form of higher intelligence, so it would make sense that Sasquatch learned to bury their dead to hide the remains. However we currently have no proof to support this so it continues to stand as a theory to be debated.
Always great stories from Mike!! Keepem coming and best of luck on that burrial ground
ReplyDeleteI also like this post. We have somewhat shakey evidence Nanderthal buried their dead (if I recall these finds also associated with CroMagnon..so unclear?). And many humans bury thier dead.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly would answer the favorite skeptic question, "why no bones?"
Does Mike smear bacon grease on himself and the camera? There's always a fly in his videos that can't seem to get enough of the two of them. Maybe the fly wants to be famous.
ReplyDelete@apehuman:
ReplyDeleteCro Magnon was basically an early version of Homo sapiens sapiens: us. Neanderthals were our close human cousins. Last time I read up on the matter, the most accepted scenario is that both species evolved separately from Homo heidelbergensis: Neanderthals in the north and our species in Africa.
Homo heidelbergensis probably evolved from Homo erectus, then spread out to the north.
As for the Denisovans, who knows?
This is the bushy tree of which sciaticpain and I have been speaking. Evolution isn't a ladder. It's more of a huge bush. Some 35,000 years ago there may have been as many as FIVE species of human beings on the planet: Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis and the Denisovans. Scientists were completely surprised by the latter two.
The Denisovans don't even have a proper scientific name yet. There's even a debate as to whether Homo floresiensis evolved from Australopithecines or something closer to Homo erectus.
Messed up. Not neat and tidy.
In fact, the discovery of the little "Hobbits" on the island of Flores and the Denisovans made me take another look at the sasquatch phenomenon. I'm looking. Now prove. :D
That the Santa Cruz mountains could still maintain sasquatch is an iffy proposition at best. The range contains the most southern occurrence of redwood habitat but is hemmed in by farmland/cities to the south, pacific ocean to the west, cities/SF bay to the east and San Francisco city to the north. Although no doubt once prime Squatch habitat the area does not support black bears in any measurable population anymore, a relict possibly inbreeding population of cougars clings on and there are no elk but abundant deer.
ReplyDelete@SciaticPain Weren't black bears extirpated from that area at one time? I can't seem to find info on that, but there is info on the increasing population of black bears pretty much everywhere in California. We haz big kittehs, too: lots of big kittehs!
ReplyDeleteMy father handled depredation permits when big kitties decided to eat livestock. There are big kitties everywhere.
I live in the same county that produced the Sierra Sounds tapes, so I suppose I could go bigfooting. Anyone want to suggest a specific location? It sounds like a hoot. And a whoop. And a wood knock.
@Athiest Yeah black bears are extirpated from the santa cruz mtns but I occasionally hear of one sighted travelling in from Monterey county. And there are supposedly wild pigs aplenty but I never saw one when I used to live up there.
ReplyDeleteawesome. i love Mike's segments. great guy, great museum.
