This one goes out to Praachi Saini. She emailed me back in 2021 and sent me a bunch of articles about Indian military stories.

I am so sorry it’s taken me this long Praachi! But I’ve finally gotten around to India 🇮🇳

As someone who is in the Indian army, I am very happy u shed light on this

There is another legend in the Indian Army about an officer, Baba Harbajan Singh who fell to the hostile environment. The local govt made a temple to his name in his honour. He is said to serve even after his death by appearing in the dreams of soldiers and alerting them of enemies. Don't know if its true but sure is creepy.

These boys are trained soldiers but not just ordinary soldiers they're mountaineers which takes a lot more training and discipline. If this freaked them out imagine how an ordinary citizen would feel. Stay safe out there in the wild y'all!

I hope the Yetis are out there somewhere.

I have had four different very close encounters with Sasquatch in Southern Illinois between 1989 - 1990. I even had one run about 20 to 25 ft away from me & one follow me for 3 1/2 miles down a road.
I found several dozen foot tracks that were 18 in Long, twice as wide as a man's foot. Each foot had five toes.
I know 100% without a doubt what I experienced!
I have no reason to doubt that Yeti is a real creature!

I’ve heard so many stories from my fellow India 🇮🇳 friends as well as my Tibetan friends. The Tibetan monks I’ve befriended all shared stories of Yeti encounters. They speak about the creature as if it’s something they saw all the time, as natural as seeing a dog so to speak. All claim they are inter-dimensional creatures that can disappear and reappear at will.

My friend's father was in Indian army, he was posted in the Nepal border. He made many locals his friends and they told him about yetis and other dangers that you should avoid. They even show the photos of the yetis but refused to give or publish (as Nepal government strictly prohibited) some of older locals had many encounters with yetis, some of even injured in the conflict. The locals even told him that yetis are nocturnal so be more careful at night when in duty. He is now retired and living a happy life.

I am from India and i was speding my school summer holidays at village. The year was 1998 and was in 6th standard. I stumbled across a very old hindi magzine which was just kept as a leftover in huge pile of books. I started reading it and was shocked to read the yeti story.
A real man got lost in the heights of himalayas, rescused by yeti, ate local herbs and vegetation and wrote even postal letters to his home somehow. His body dimensions and hair growth changed at a unprecented rate. He finally started getting taller and taller and could not maintain any further contact with the outside world.
He became a yeti.
He also told yeti have families and children too.
Also one of the yeti father took control of his children as mother yeti died in an avalanche.

I seriously should have kept copy of that magazine with myself. I even forgot the name of magzine as i was a small kid. I wish i literally wish if i could remember the name of that old magazine. There was no internet or social media in 1998 in India to make such a fantastic detailed story.
I truley believe that yes Yeti do exist.

Interesting chant of “manasam vaaparadham”.. this is from a series of verses dedicated to lord shiva written by Shankaracharya… lovely story about the yeti!!!.. highly enjoyable!!!..

Well, I'm glad I listen all the way through your end credits. It's middle of winter, and I'm at a state park. I'm homeless, and I live in my Ford Explorer. Reorganizing today so I can make my bed warmer. Been waiting 3 weeks to get into transitional housing, but the program director seems to be ghosting me. I've been getting more and more pissed off over the last three weeks.

Was just thinking today, "okay, if I can't get into that house, then I'll pimp out my truck instead." But God, please give me a sign that things will get better.

I got flutterbys in my tummy when I heard your closing comment.

Thank you for unique and articulate stories to help assuage my mental maelstrom.

As an Indian this video was such an unexpected surprise! after being an avid enjoyed of your content and the case study of yetis/sasquatches I knew this video would be a banger. Keep it up dude!

[filipjuricki]

Amazing video as always, keep it up.

Been to the Himalayas twice in the late 1990s, once to Nepal and once to Ladakh. Both times we were trekking at high altitude. Both times we (my wife was with me) felt that creepy feeling of being watched by something dangerous. The episodes each lasted for some minutes. The rest of the time there were just the usual out-doors life in the wilderness sorts of sounds that were fairly familiar or easily accounted for. Never saw anything. Did hear something snuffling and moving around outside our tent one night in Nepal and the next morning we found that all the yaks had run off down the valley (usually they did not roam, from memory they were hobbled or tethered). No proof but definitely a believer.

I have actually seen a Yeti in Pokhra. In 2014. Just a year before the earthquake. It was at the Sunrise point, on one of the peaks which perpendicularly faces the East. I know it was a Yeti, because literally nothing moving on those peaks should be visible from the Sunrise point. Not even a Himalayan Brown Bear. I literally saw a dot move rapidly up the peak and disappear on its top( that is, descend on ots Western Side ). But then, I was just 9 then, so nobody believed me, not even my NRI mom who was born and brought up in Kathmandu.

My husband & I have recently found your channel & are catching up. Thank you for the professionalism & respect for the people who give you their truths. Your narratives are gripping & you allow the story itself to be the object of attention. Well done sir.

Solid episode Luke! Only two episodes and the new art style is already growing on me, and the more detailed animations involving pictures and wind effects is a nice touch! Eagerly awaiting part 2, and glad to be a supporter of the channel!

The Indian army remains deployed in one of the highest battlefields in the world called Siachin Glaciers all year round. I think they have some amazing experiences to share....maybe some of them are not so normal....

This is a very incredible and intriguing story I think that the best physical evidence of the Yeti's existence is the Pangboche Hand
Edit: I miss the old artwork
