I believe they did an investigation on this I cident on "Finding Bigfoot" several years ago if this is one in the same event. I think it occurred in the 50's but I could be wrong.

Well, I’d say that a “mythical” creature with so many different names in so many cultures on several different continents going back centuries actually isn’t mythical at all. No idea what they actually are. But, they do appear to be a very large, hairy species of hominid, generally reclusive and elusive, that on occasion display a strong dislike of being encroached upon. In known species this sort of behavior is usually tied to males during mating season or females with young.
I believe it was Arthur Clarke who said “Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic.”
Humans are like the apes running around, waving their arms, and making small mouth noises when they see the monolith in the opening scene of “2001, A Space Odyssey”.
Our “scientific experts” are either clueless or pathological liars or (most likely) both.
Neanderthals are supposed to have died out about 40,000 years ago. It is sometimes suggested that very small relict populations in particularly remote/cold/mountainous areas might have persisted much later, giving rise to the very ancient folklore found in so many places about giants, trolls, ogres, etc. up in the mountain caves. That may be nothing more than romantic nonsense -- there seems to be a spectacular lack of evidence other than old stories with no more foundation than today's anecdotal sightings -- but: the wooly mammoths lingered on until about 4,000 years ago, finally dying out as the Egyptians were well into the Age of the Pyramids.
my 1st thought upon reading this
Freaked out, scared as shit, but remembered to grab phone/camera to get it on film and make as much noise as possible to direct attention to himself in the face of the unknown thing which frightens him.
Riiiiiight.
Along those same lines of thought, another would be “dragons.”
I was thinking the other day. The reason these creatures are not seen more is they are basically wearing a Ghillie suit.My son has one and he can be in light brush 3 feet away and I can not see him in normal light. If you have ever seen the effectiveness of Ghillie suits you can understand it.
It’s Bobo, not a Yeti....
Wild Turkey 101...have a word with the bird.
“Yeti”?
I always liked the first name I heard as a kid...the “Abominable Snowman.” There aren’t many places where you can use the word “abominable” and it just trips off the tongue.
It does have huge arms...
We need to see if it is being followed by a herd of reporters to be 100% sure.
Similar to the Paterson film from the late 60s in the stride and arm swing. Greater distance, though.
Almas. Closer to man-sized than Bigfoot/Sasquatch, and spoken of for as long as written records have existed in that region. There's a great older (1970s I think) book on the subject by naturalist Ivan T. Sanderson: Abominable Snowmen- Legend Come To Life.
Nah, Michelle has more hair.
