A TERRIFIED man set himself on fire after claiming he came face-to-face with a Yeti – who told him he would die soon.
The disturbed man was so scared by the "meeting" that he doused himself in petrol and set himself alight.
The incident happened in the village of Malyy Manok, in the Republic of Khakassia, in south-central Russia.
He said he came face to face with the mythical creature – also known as the Abominbal Snowman – in the Taiga forest.
The man died from his injuries.
Yetis are claimed to be large, ape-like beasts living in the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet.
For years people people have been searching for the Yeti and Bigfoot – another legendary monster.
Earlier this year a hairy beast was captured disappearing behind a set of trees in a remote area of Russia.
Big came hunters found a huge stash of cannabis plants worth £4.5million as they went searching for the elusive creature in Oregon, US.
I had a sasquatch say something to me one time but I don’t understand “tree knocks”. However, it also could have been just a woodpecker showing off.
A Yeti once bit my sister....
Yes!! Somebody else knows his real name! One of my all-time favorite words as a kid -- "abominable." Too bad Mr. McKeown and his editors don't know how to spell.
I hate when that happens.
And the Yeti was right
Meanwhile the seven-foot yeti has moved into seventh place in the crowded GOP nomination fight.
