X-Files Case Report #191

Case Overview: Abominable Snowman (aka Yeti, The Great Bear, or Raksha (Sanskrit for demon)) is a tall 7-10 feet twice the size of an average humans. He lives in the highest mountain range in the world, The Himalayas. He is an mammal with human and gorilla-like features. He reminds people of the creature Bigfoot, whom is found in the North American regions but they have no relation to one another. The Abominable snowman has heavy, dark brown fur and free standing. People have said that there is a population of 227 and they have a lifespan of 120-130 years. It is said that they have 3 per family group and the male mates with the female then leaves them. He is said to be a "loner". They weigh anywhere from 200-350 pounds.

Case History: The Abominable Snowman dates back to 1832 when a man of the name B.H. Hodgson reported that his locally based guides spotted a tall, bipedal creature covered with long dark hair. It is reported that the people fled with fear. Hodgson did not see the creature so he reported it as an orangutan. 

Pro-Arguments: To believe that the abominable snowman is real is by a video of him. The video was taken by two hikers in 1996 in the mountains of Nepal. They captured a gorilla-like creature walking upright up the mountain. This video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5p5w1IsQlU\ There are also pictures of this creatures foot. It is twice the size of a human's foot and not like any other animal they have seen.

Con-Arguments: A Japanese scientist, Makoto Nebuka, claims that this Yeti is an Himalayan Brown Bear and nothing more. He found that the word Yeti is a regional dialect for meti which means bear. He also found that the Ethnic Tibetan tribes worship the yeti as a mythical creature and people started to mix reality with imagination.

Case Assessment: I think I believe this mythical creature. There seems to be a lot of sources that say he does exist and there is a video. It is hard to assess because there is not a lot of video and pictures of the abominable snowman. I do believe there are creatures that walk among us that are very secretive and mysterious. I believe if we had the answers then life would not be as fun as it is and those creatures know what they are doing when it comes to becoming mysterious.
