NEW EVIDENCE OF YETI FOUND IN HIMALAYAS

On a trip to the Himalayas, English artist Pollyanna Pickering, yes that’s her real name, was shown evidence of what she’s claiming proves the existence of Yetis. You know the Abominable Snowman, the original Bigfoot. UK yeti expert Jonathan Downes, of the Centre of Fortean Zoology, which studies 'mystery' animals, said: "This is potentially explosive.” While she was traveling through the Bhutan region with her daughter and business manager she stopped at a village of the Brokpas people. There, at a monastery, she was shown what they claim is a 100 year old yeti scalp with the bone still attached. "I was told this was from a migoi,  their name for the yeti. All I know is, it was bigger than any human or ape scalp I'd ever seen. It had tufts of reddish-black fur coming out of it and was mounted on a pole and seen as a holy relic." That’s kind of creepy. "I was amazed when they told me of regular sightings, close encounters and even tales of people being carried off by the migoi. Their descriptions were so detailed, I ended up doing this sketch with them all sitting round telling me to alter this or how that should look. They describe it as a very shy ape-like creature, about eight feet tall, with black, sometimes reddish fur. But what struck me most was, it wasn't like they were trying to convince me it existed. They were surprised some people think it doesn't. It's no big deal to them. They see it as just another indigenous wild animal, roaming the mountains with their snow leopard. There's nothing mythical about it." This sounds so much like the opening to a movie. Jonathan Downes an his Centre of Fortean Zoology intend to mount an expedition to verify Pickering’s claims. "This is potentially explosive. If this scalp is authentic and has bone still attached, it will be probably the single most important zoological find since the discovery of the coelacanth in the late 1930s. Certainly their accounts of it being a shy, gentle animal fits with all other information we've gathered over the years. If it does exists, we now think it a likely descendent from a giant ape called Gigantopithecus blackii which lived in India and China around half a million years ago and was between eight to 10.5 feet tall. But we think that rather than a gorilla, the yeti is probably more closely related to the orang-utan."  Pollyanna Pickering wasn’t allowed  to photograph the indisputable evidence because photography is banned from all monasteries. The only real evidence she has is her word and this sketch she made from descriptions of the storytellers sitting around the campfire. The yeti sketches will be shown in the Land of the Thunder Dragon exhibition, which will tour the United States and Canada following its debut in Oaker, England. Nothing like a little pre-tour publicity. It sort of reminds me of the Peckman, Romanek alien, it’s there but you can’t see it, thing in Denver.
