take cover
keep hidden and get ready to infiltrate
a super secret organization the Society
includes at least two three US
presidents Supreme Court justices and
too many senators and CEOs to Nate
welcome to watchmojo.com down our picks
for the top five most interesting facts
about the Yale University secret society
known as the Skull and Bones a number of
reports say that there are niches with
human skulls and whose skulls they are
they’re supposed to supposedly the
skulls of famous people and it’s one
skull that was labeled skull of Geronimo
it’s an organization with a history
spanning over a hundred and fifty years
shrouded in mystery and retaining some
pretty unique and fascinating secrets
even though their identities were known
what they did inside the tomb was still
supposed to be top secret number five
lots of powerful elite or Bonesmen Chris
welcome to the Skull and Bones Society
this is where the most powerful men in
the world are groomed for their futures
conspiracy theorists love discussing the
Skull and Bones especially how many
important influential and powerful
members have passed through its doors
he’s an ambitious man
in any of getting the Supreme Court’s
only thing he really loves members of
the super secret organization are known
as Bonesmen
and have included Senator John Kerry
former president William Howard Taft and
three generations of the Bush family
including George W Bush George Bush
Senior and Prescott Bush but more on him
later
other bondsman have gone on to head
multi-million dollar corporations or
otherwise become power players on the
world stage
leading to much speculation that the
society is meant to breed future world
leaders and other men of influence we
share similar backgrounds unite and I
hope similar values which could put this
society’s influence to better use and we
say men of influence because the
skullenbones actually didn’t accept
female membership until the 1990s long
after Yale University itself went co-ed
in 1969 this desire to keep the society
small intimate and male dominated only
adds to its legacy of mystery and
secrecy or maybe just makes them look
like jerks jury’s out on that one you
know someone I loved once told me that
if it’s secret and elite it can’t be
good number four they allegedly stole
the skulls of historical figures
so remember how we mentioned that george
w bush’s grandfather prescott was a
Bonesmen well in 1918 the patriarch was
among six other Bonesmen who served as
guards in Fort Sill where famed Apache
leader Geronimo died and was buried the
legend is that Prescott and Co stole
Geronimo’s skull from the site and
brought it back to the Skull and Bones
headquarters known as the tomb where
it’s said to reside to this day so
enduring is this tale that in 2009
Geronimo’s descendants sued the Skull
and Bones for the return of his remains
the case was dismissed in 2010 but not
because the bones aren’t there
necessarily but because the judge
decided that the law they cited only
applied to grave robberies that occurred
after the law was passed in 1990 the
Apache warrior skull isn’t the only
macabre object reportedly housed within
the tomb either as author Alexandra
Robbins claims that there were also
skulls belonging to Mexican
revolutionary Pancho via and former
President Martin Van Buren within the
tomb as well as coffins gravestones
and even a set of silverware which
reportedly belonged to Adolf Hitler
there are photos of skulls inside the
skull and bones to number three
initiation involves some bizarre rituals
as is customary with all our new members
you now have to spend seven minutes in
the closet with our most senior member
we’ve already mentioned that the Skull
and Bones headquarters is known as the
tomb but is what actually goes on down
there in the depths all that dark and
mysterious that sounds kind of cruel no
no you’ll love it it’s great well it’s
been said that the initiation rituals
for potential Bonesmen can include some
very bizarre occult inspired trappings
the initiates have to do things like
drink fake blood out of a skull one
former Yale student turned journalist
for the New York Observer even managed
to capture on videotape one of the Skull
and Bones rituals for neophyte pledges
to the society these rituals include a
mock human sacrifice the kissing of a
skull and various embarrassingly
juvenile taunts from elder Bonesmen to
these neophytes they’re sort of trying
to scare the initiative uh you know
disorient the frightened though
according to Alexandra Robbins another
infamous hazing ritual involves having a
neophyte line naked in the coffin
masturbate and reveal their most
secretive sexual experiences and
fantasies are we having fun yet Wolfie
Wolfie
be wolfy wolfy he has my favorite baby
it’s my standing up number two they have
their very own Island once the bones
been always a Bonesmen this is the idea
behind the Skull and Bones membership as
the Society’s alumni retained oversight
of its activities while also owning its
real estate under the Russell Trust
Association one piece of this real
estate is a private island belonging to
the Skull and Bones known as Deer Island
located along the st. Lawrence River the
original purpose of Deer Island was as a
retreat destination for Bonesmen where
members would enjoy fine dining play
tennis and otherwise catch up with bones
and alumni who have lost touch over the
years
the idea of vacationing on Deer Island
is one which has somewhat lost its
luster for younger Bonesmen however with
many new students claiming that the
island has largely fallen into disrepair
Oh talk about a fixer-upper in 2009
Gawker posted photos from an alleged
Bonesmen Facebook page depicting what
they say is a weekend at Deer Island it
really just looks like a diverse group
of friends having a drunken good time in
a shabby cabin somewhere kind of
disappointing
number one the skullenbones isn’t the
only secret society at Yale
yep just imagine not one but several
freaky clubs some even richer than the
Skull and Bones all perpetuating
dangerous and bizarre hazing rituals and
all going on to secretly run the world
or something they go by such similarly
cryptic names as scroll and key book and
snake and wolf’s head according to
Robbins they all keep a checks and
balances approach to how they recruit
reliable new members protect their own
unique hazing traditions and keep up to
speed on what every other secret society
is up to as well others claimed at the
point of all these secret societies
including Skull and Bones is a much more
benign one they are merely an
opportunity for students to create
relationships with a diverse set of new
people and hopefully gain some lifelong
friends in any fellowship you need
someone you can trust someone to be
there always for anything a soul man or
at least a few college drinking buddies
so are you ready to pledge allegiance to
the Skull and Bones and would you go
through degrading hazing rituals to gain
some powerful friends is it the old
Groucho Marx joke that that
I’m I just don’t want to belong to any
club that would have someone like me for
a member for more accomplished Bonesmen
top tens and skull kissing top fives be
sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com so
what’s the payoff for all the secrecy
all the elaborate rituals well here’s
the thing
Skull and Bones has a reputation of
taking care of its own no matter the
cost
keep hidden and get ready to infiltrate
a super secret organization the Society
includes at least two three US
presidents Supreme Court justices and
