   Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch, a mystery which is scary and intriguing at the same time. How could such a being hide for so long. We know so much of our surroundings but Sasquatch has managed to stay hidden, away from people and civilisation.

   There are museums with items related to Sasquatch, mountaineers have report to have found footprints of them and even seeing them from a distance. Isolated areas and forests, far away from humans are said to be their home. Sasquatch or Yeti or Bigfoot have names in many cultures all over the world and also the natives who are very connected to nature such as Native Americans have given them names and stay away from areas said to be inhabitated by the Bigfoot.

   H.E. Tsem Rinpoche has shared his interest in them with us and many articles and information on this being are available on this blog. Watch the documentaries and let us know… do you believe in Bigfoot?
   Well, I do believe Bigfoot exists, yet I am not so sure if I want to meet one.

   Bigfoot seen to be the biggest mysteries of the world so far with many recording sightings over the years. Scientist has concluded that these creatures could be an extinct species of prehistoric apes that existed million years ago.
   The Yeti is a character in ancient legends and folklore of the Himalaya people. In most of the tales, the Yeti is a figure of danger, author Shiva Dhakal told the BBC. Thank you for the good sharing.

   The Yeti, once better known as the Abominable Snowman, is a mysterious bipedal creature said to live in the mountains of Asia. It sometimes leaves tracks in the snow, but is also said to dwell below the Himalayan snow line. Despite dozens of expeditions into the remote mountain regions of Russia, China and Nepal, the existence of the Yeti remains unproven.

   The Yeti is said to be muscular, covered with dark grayish or reddish-brown hair, and weigh between 200 and 400 lbs. (91 to 181 kilograms) It is relatively short compared to North America’s Bigfoot, averaging about 6 feet (1.8 meters) in height. Though this is the most common form, reported Yetis have come in a variety of shapes.

   The Yeti is a character in ancient legends and folklore of the Himalaya people. In most of the tales, the Yeti is a figure of danger, author Shiva Dhakal told the BBC. The moral of the stories is often a warning to avoid dangerous wild animals and to stay close and safe within the community.

   Alexander the Great demanded to see a Yeti when he conquered the Indus Valley in 326 B.C. But, according to National Geographic, local people told him they were unable to present one because the creatures could not survive at that low an altitude.

   In modern times, when Westerners started traveling to the Himalayas, the myth became more sensational, according to the BBC. In 1921, a journalist named Henry Newman interviewed a group of British explorers who had just returned from a Mount Everest expedition. The explorers told the journalist they had discovered some very large footprints on the mountain to which their guides had attributed to “metoh-kangmi,” essentially meaning “man-bear snow-man.” Newman got the “snowman” part right but mistranslated “metoh” as “filthy.” Then he seemed to think “abominable” sounded even better and used this more menacing name in the paper. Thus a legend was born.

   Interesting the existence of creatures had many researchers and scientist looking for evidence to support their present. From the Yeti Sasquatch in the Himalayas to the Bigfoot in the North America and the recent sighting of mysteries creatures in Alaska . Bigfoot seen to be the biggest mysteries of the world so far with many recording sightings over the years. Scientist has concluded that these creatures could be an extinct species of prehistoric apes that existed million years ago. They believe that the Yeti and Bigfoot are the surviving genus. To these days, many people do believe in Bigfoot yet still there are many do not believe the existence of Bigfoot saying it is of folklore and hoax. Many researchers have already proven that they do exist with the discovery of footprints as well.
   Interesting videos of the accounts of men who came across the great Bigfoot or Sasquatch . So far there is no hard evidence to prove its existence except in Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin film’s of a hairy creature walking into the forest. To me I do believe as thousands years ago Himalayan mountains, Yeti was once act as deliveryman for monks. It was written in their texts.
   Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

   Curious about the legendary Yeti? Not sure what to believe? Here is an article that explores a range of sources, from folktales to newspaper reports, detailing sightings and encounters with the elusive creature, who has been a part of the very fabric of various Himalayan communities for thousands of years. Read about religious beliefs, myths, fables and stories by scholars and travellers alike, and realise that there is more to the Yeti than you previously thought.

   In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson stumbled across an incredible sight whilst out in Bluff Creek, in the California wilderness. At a creek which had been freshly washed-out by recent floods, they witnessed a female Bigfoot swiftly traverse the rugged landscape. Since their filmed encounter with the Bigfoot, who has since been nicknamed Patty, many have disputed the authenticity of their recording but no one has been able to successfully prove that it is a fake.

   Credits for this video goes to entirely to windvale for the original footage. ?

   Wow! Thanks for showing. I think that the yeti or the Bigfoot would be of the same species, the Gigantopithicus. I remeber that Rinpoche once had posted something about Uncle Monlam once seeing a Bigfoot. I read in many story books about yetis or Bigfoots they are mostly thought as white furred creatures but in many other stories from true accounts refer to the Bigfoots as brown furred creatures, which is true or maybe there might be two different species of Gigantopithicus that exists today. Sounds so interesting!

    You may be interested to know (if you do not already) about D. Jeffrey Meldrum, a physical anthropologist at Idaho State University who has examined “Patty” (the Sasquatch from the Patterson tapes) and determined, based on its gait and musculature, that it was very unlikely to have been faked. Dr. Meldrum has been harshly criticized by some of his colleagues, not for any methodological lapses, but for treating the subject seriously at all.

    The question of what Bigfoot (if it exists) actually IS is quite intriguing. Gigantopithicus is just one line of speculation. I understand that in Nepal, the yeti is understood to be some sort of magical beast…? Of course it is by no means established that Bigfoot and the yeti (if both exist) are related. Interestingly, Westerners commonly assume the yeti to be white-furred, whereas Nepali images show a brown or black creature.

      The film that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin made of Bigfoot is real. Here is what they filmed on October 20 1967 at Bluff Creek, California.
      Several thousand years ago there were thousands of slaves that ran off around the world and started their own countries. When these slaves ran off there was a large group of men and boys that took off and ended up in Africa. Some of them were giants as tall as 9 ft. or even taller.
      The giant named Goliath that David killed with his slingshot was 9 ft. tall. Some of these men and boys went exploring to Borneo and used ropes to catch female orangutans and took them to South America. They had sex with them and eventually created the Indians.
      The men and boys that stayed in Africa used ropes to catch female gorillas and had sex with them and eventually created the Africans. When scientists found the bones in Africa they thought we evolved naturally from a female chimpanzee. But it wasn’t a natural evolution it was a man made evolution.
      That’s where all the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures come from. They are half man and half gorilla and half man and half orangutan. They use to call the Indians the red man. The orangutan has reddish hair. When those men bred out the hair the Indian’s skin remained red.
      The gorilla has black hair and skin. When those men bred out the hair the African’s skin remained black. Some of the Indians and Africans are tall and some of the Bigfoot and Orangutan creatures are tall. They are tall because some of the men that created them were tall.
      Some scientists believe that we evolved naturally from a female chimpanzee. Have you ever seen an 8 ft. tall chimpanzee? I haven’t either. Bigfoot migrated up through Africa and came into the United States at the top of Africa when they were connected by land.
      The Orangutan creatures migrated up through Central America and came into the United States like the Indians did later on. These creatures were able to migrate around the world because some of the land was connected at the time. The first Europeans that saw the Africans said that some of the African women had genitalia that resembled that of a gorilla.
      If you look at the nose of an African you will notice that it is wide like the gorillas nose. The North American Science Institute said that the creature in the Patterson film had both human and gorilla characteristics. That’s because it is a human-gorilla hybrid.
      The creature that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed in 1967 was half man and half gorilla. It was a female Bigfot that they named Patty. Patty was not a man in a costume, she is not our missing link and she is not a figment of our imagination. Patty is a creature that was created by men that had sex with female gorillas and orangutans a long time ago.
      Believe it or not, man created his own evolution. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
