Mike Rugg Had Predicted The Patterson-Gimlin Event 6 Months Before It Happened
In last week's Bigfoot Discovery Museum Show, Mike shared a couple of stories from his scrapbook collection he started since he was 5 years old. While writing a parody story about the "Man-Animal" for the April 1967 issue of Stanford humor magazine, The Chaparral, Mike was essentially predicting the famous Patterson-Gimlin event that wasn't going to occur until 6 months later at Bluff Creek, CA.
Watch below:
Mike has had the passion since the early 1950s.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Think of all the high hopes and disappointments he has went through in these 60 plus years in Bigfootology. It is for people like this that I hope vindication comes.

Oh! Thanks for all you have given to this field, and the many people you have touched and given a greater awareness to these past 60 years Mike. KEEP PUSHIN ON.

Hey good prediction.
ReplyDeleteI predict a man will don an ape suit and walk across a landscape left to right. That man's friend will record blurry video of this action and post it online. I predict that video will be discussed in this forum.
ReplyDeleteExactly what are you and your brother doctors of?
DeleteIs it anything that gives your opinions greater weight than those of others?
Please enlighten me,I am curious to know your background.
Visiting Mike at his museum one afternoon he remarked " if Patricia Patterson (Roger's wife) ever announced the film as a hoax, I'd have to ask myself what I'd done with my life" .yikes.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks "Dr. Ranes" above is really someone else in disguise (LOL) who frequents this forum and wants to stir the pot....

JN: Dr.(Ronnie) Ranes is my brother and fellow scientist.
DeleteWe write a blog together titled, "Science Matters" and to us, it does.
I'm not saying he's not stirring the pot, because he's been known to raise the hackles of pseudoscientists, but he's absolutely real.
-Dr. Luther Ranes
Gentlemen, please go find your own street corner.
Deleteto the ranes boys go back to stupid blog with no followers
Deleteyour stupid blog i mean
Deleteyour not doctors and if you are your probably proctologists
DeleteWow guys, defensive much. True, Ronnies comments are definitely one sided, but instead of getting heated maybe we should try to find out these guys credentials amd open a dialogue like civilized folk. I'm not saying that the likes of Robert Lindsay deserve your time, but maybe if these guys are actually scientists there might be a way they look at something down the line that could be illuminating. Instead of closing yourself off to skepticism we should all be open to it. No matter what we have seen with our own eyes, it will never be a reality with its own right to protection until it is proven by scientists.
DeleteSeems to me the second you start bashing this guy, who has only stated his own opinion, this comment section becomes like the comment section of every other Bigfoot forum. You want the man to be open to your ideas then you should be open to his, even if they are written with sarcasm. Hopefully the guys a legit scientist, and if so I personally don't care if he believes or not. I'm just glad he finds this subject interesting enough to comment on. I would like to hear a true scientific assessment of what he thinks is happening. A breakdown of how he thinks the pieces we see as evidence have all been hoaxed. Just trying to remain objective guys, we could all use some friends with legit credentials to round this one sided discussion out. Just sayin, John
Well said, Anon John. Time will tell if Dr. Ranes is interested in two way discussion, or simply here to make inflammatory remarks. I would love a scientific assessment of some posts here, as long as they're not all along the tried-and-true lines of, "there is no scientific basis to support these claims". Of course there isn't! Most of us are acutely aware of this. We are here to discuss the subject, not ignore it... Maybe someday there will be a "basis" for science to weigh info against, but until then, I am still interested in ALL other's interpretations. Shawn does an awesome job of putting ALL the available info (for better, or worse) on here and lets the reader make up their own mind.
DeleteI love science and think it matters very much! I also know how flexible it is (and isn't)... I get the most excited when science begins to bend in a new direction!

I just returned from the proctologist in fact; the problem seemed to be that Justin Smeja's book and Ketchum's DNA paper were lodged in too tightly. Afterwards, I seemed afflicted with the strange gait seen in the PGF creature
ReplyDeletenostra-squatch has predicted this also. for those who don't recall this guy. he's patty's better half. just messin! lil bigfoot humor!
ReplyDeleteWell, fair enough "Drs" Ranes. It's a free country. Must be a slow day in the "science" world. Stir away!
ReplyDeleteFair warning: be prepared to take exactly what you dish out here. Us regular folk on this site tend not to hold back (as you can see). A suggestion...you should mosey on over to Bigfoot Forums and start a thread there too. I (and others) would love to see that!

I always enjoy watching Mike Rugg's videos.I find him fascinating and a wealth of information on anything Bigfoot related.
ReplyDeleteYes he is a definate pioneer in this area, and has to be thanked for everything he has done!
ReplyDeleteI really like Mike Rugg. Met him a couple months ago and spent a couple of hours at his museum. He's sacrificed alot to keep the museum open and I wish him the best. Ken, Tumwater WA
ReplyDeletenever watched the film so dont k now if he said patterson himself topped that . Patterson drew the EXACR creature a year before he went out and filmed the same creature he drew right down to the breast size etc... in the only open piece of ground for miles around.lol.utter nonsense. in the 50years that have passed this is still it!
