Michael Ramos, a 23 year old National Guard Reservist, claims that he was ordered to descend into Ape’s Cave after reports of a violent hiker attacking people in the cave. Initial accounts had the hiker injured and trapped. But when several civilian tourists attempted to assist they were met with fierce hand to hand combat.
Ramos says he was sent into the cave alone because it was his first weekend deployment with his regiment. The Commanding Officer did not believe the hiker’s account and thought it would be funny to send the new guy in to check it out. Ramos, later, found out that he had, also, been given blanks for his ammunition.
Once inside Ape’s Cave, it was only a matter of following the horrific groaning to locate the allegedly injured hiker. Who, or rather what, Ramos found would forever change his belief in the unknown.
Ramos says that he called out several times, announcing who he was and his intent. These were answered with a guttural growling. When Ramos shined his flashlight at the far corner of the cave, he saw a “hideously deformed creature, with beady bat eyes and wet fur and the most gruesome broken teeth. And that smell…Jesus Christ, that smell!”
The creature first covered its eyes from the flashlight beam, but then pounced. Ramos dropped his flashlight turn tail and ran for all he was worth. Somehow he got turned around and ended up on the far end of Ape’s Cave, away from where his unit was waiting.
The Creature plowed out of Ape’s Cave, knocking Ramos into a mud puddle before swinging off into the branches and up the mountain.
“As of today, I can fully say that what knocked me over was one of those Bigfoot things,” Ramos said with great conviction.

Absolutely LOVE the drawing of Sasquatch that accompanies this story. Does anyone know its origin??? Is it a real sketch of a sighted creature? Any details? Cheers. Mx

Many of those reservists had to have seen the creature. I’d like to hear from them. Police and military are some of the best eyewitnesses .

It mentioned they gave him blanks but he never tried using his weapon. After realizing you’ re not dealing with a person, I would think he would have tried to put some lead out there. If he wasn’t using blanks and killed it like you’d think, we’d never hear about this account. The gov’t would have made sure of that.

How did he not know they gave him blanks? Somebody load his weapon for him? Where are the statements from his fellow soldiers? If it left the cave they had to have seen it. Too many holes in this one.

The Commanding Officer did not believe the hiker’s account and thought it would be funny to send the new guy in to check it out….if this is true the Commander was a Dick!!

Yeah, I think there would have been a little more hand to hand combat when I got my hands on that guy.

There are so many many military errors in this report I lost count. I don’t know if Mr. Ramos experienced a BF or not but he is certainly lying about his service (if any) record.

I smell BS.
You don’t mistake blanks for live ammunition.
And you don’t shoot blanks without the Blank Firing Adapter (BFA).
And you don’t just hand someone a weapon, condition 1. Functions check anyone?
ICEMAN
this is Bs this doesn’t add up commander or not some one going to get ass kicking. or put on report for this .

As a former National Guard soldier…….As of today, I can fully say that what knocked me over was the blatant BS that you’re trying to sell here.
