Camping with Bigfoot:

       

        The other day a friend of mine struck up a conversation with a man helping her at her storage unit. This man happened to tell her a Bigfoot story that happened when he was 15 years old and camping near Mammoth Cave, KY with his Boy Scout Troop. Since she was a Bigfoot story buff, she was intrigued.

        The man, now quite older, claimed the boys in his troop heard Bigfoot calls coming from the woods nearby. Soon the boys went alone into the woods in search of the animal that was making the sounds.

        According to the man, the boys kept hearing the calls getting closer and closer to them. However, when their Troop Leader found them all missing, he went in search of young lads. When the Leader found them he told the young boys to, “Stop that noise." The boys looked at each other astonished.

    They informed their Scout Leader that they hadn’t been making noise but heard strange calls all night continuously from the woods and they had gone in search of who had been making the sounds.

        The leader told them to go back to their camp right away. The next morning, the boys were told by their Scout leader to pack up right way for they all were leaving. The man said it was the oddest trip he remembers as a Scout.

        Later on, the young boy found out that their Scout Leader had been told by a Park Ranger that odd morning that several Bigfoot calls and sightings had recently been reported around the area where they had been camping. Their Scout Leader was worried and didn’t want the Troop in any danger so he told the boys to pack and they all left.

        So if your next destination vacation is camping near Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, beware of the strange sounds that go bump in the night, or a call from dark, spooky woods. After-all, it could be a Bigfoot.
