*I am human and barely want anything to do with humans. I understand the Yeti's reluctance!*

Im From the North East of India, even in our Tribes folklore we have our own version of Bigfoot we call it Mande-Burung. A creature 10feet tall as old as Earth itself. We rever them as the 1st Humans.

[bravo]

It’s not surprising that other surviving hominids would retain a tradition of avoiding man like the plague; it’s the difference between life and annihilation.

Bedtime stories and wartime stories. Such a dynamic duo

[hatuletoh]

Some years ago I took a class from a well respected forensic anthropologist, as in, he sometimes canceled class because the FBI had called him in to consult and look over human remains that their own forensic teams couldn't figure out. The guy was good, and he was always willing to meet after class and tell stories or answer questions, so long as the meeting was in a bar and you were buying. Consequently, I hung out with this prof a number of times and talked to him about a number of subjects, including the Shipton photos from the 50s. Finger and footprints weren't necessarily my old professor's speciality, but he knew more about the traces and signs of hominids than most people on earth. His verdict on the Shipton photos: 100%, no doubt, genuine. Even the very best fakers wouldn't have been able to reproduce some of the details that can be seen in those photos; they are undoubtedly from actual bipedal locomotion through snow. Arguments from authority are inherently fallacious, of course, but I got more than that, I got a very logical argument from an authority on the subject, and I've been a believer ever since.

I have a friend who is an oceanographer tell me something about people hunting for cryptids. He told me how things like the kraken were though to be myths since ancient times, and it was only 20 years ago we proved the Giant Squid actually exists. He was very sagely saying scientists shouldn't rush to prove something exists or not if they don't believe it exists in the first place.

Many of my friends are from the North Indian Himalayan ranges. Their ancestors used to speak of these creatures, and much deeper folklores from the village. I am glad finally these stories came out in a bigger platform. 🙏 Thanks @Wartime Stories.

[luvondarox]

Dude, the timing! Thank you. You stopped my doom scroll and this might actually help me wind down enough to maybe sleep. Which is a weird thing to admit, really, when listening to stories about people's traumas and encounters...

[ContessaChalice]

The comment from Jane Goodall was the icing on the cake. She echoed a thought I had during the video — every populated continent in the world has a similar legend, and they’ve got to be coming from *somewhere*, and where else but experience.

[alexandrosstavrou]

Honestly, i really isn`t farfetched to think that even something as big as the Yeti could evade human contact for so long. The himalayas are a deathtrap for humans, even for the most well prepared, and only a few native people are regularly hiking in these mountain ranges, so yeah. Just think of the Okapi. It lived in the densely forested heart of the Congo and was for the longest time considered a myth. Until it was actually found.
Maybe we too are living in these twilight days of the uknown, where we just haven`t been in the right place at the right time.

Great video as always.

[KarlRock]

Is anyone funding Yeti expeditions these days? Such a great video, thank you.

[alphabetagamma]

This video is the perfect example of why I love this channel more than any other supernatural/paranormal channel. No BS. Just Great arguments...

[adzilabidin]

In Indonesia in the island of Sumatra we have the stories of the Orang Pendek, which is reported to look like the Bigfoot and Yeti but smaller in stature

[tonybahama]

I enjoyed this historical compilation as I spent 2 years in the Hindu Kush and love anything pertaining to the Himalayas. Man’s “self-assured wisdom”…hit the nail on the head.

[KaPs]

Yetis stories are popular for hundreds of years in my Himalayan belt. Throughout my childhood i spent my vacation times in Sikkim and Nepal and have heard many stories of Yetis. Yetis have a huge story line in Tibetan culture. For non-himalayan people Yetisv are as much as loch Ness monster for rest of the world. Even Herge's Tintin has a adventure story of Yeti.

[endtimesninja]

It's hilarious all these Americans in the 1950s trekking all over the Himalayas trying to find a yeti when their cousins the sasquatch, elusive as they are, are all over the continental US.

[TechnoEsoterica]

It was nice to see David Attenborough weigh in positively on the existence of Yeti/Sasquatch.

[roberthollingsworth]

Bro I got to work at 1pm yesterday and someone just called in sick so I'll be running the plant by myself until 5am. Thank you for this! I will always immediately check out any video you post.

[realbrat]

Definitely agree with the last part of this video. "The earth remains quite large" I honestly think that most people just can't grasp how massive this planet is. Not cryptid related, but I live on a small Caribbean island and even here there areas that have never been or will ever be walked on my man. Would love a video on lost expeditions, real and rumored worldwide.

[proto-geek]

If these things are actually real,
the last thing we need is to discover them.
They would be better off left alone.
