Yeti

Neanderthals wandered the whole earth for at least a million years before the advent of Cro-Magnon man, which is considered to be who modern man developed from. Even though Cro-Magnon man is smaller, weaker, and has less brain capacity than the Neanderthal man, and does not have the physical strength to protect himself like Neanderthal, we are said to be descended from them.
If Neanderthals lived all that time unchanged, why would they suddenly, about 120,000 years ago die out and be replaced with a species that were much less able to adapt with primitive life on this planet ?
We don't have the protective hair that they had, we are weaker, and are a lot more susceptible to diseases and other debilitating illnesses than Neanderthal man was. So, us descending from them, would actually be a non-evolution, rather than an evolution.


So, if they didn't die out, what became of them ? Are they still here, living high in the mountains, isolated and pretty much undiscovered ??
My answer to this, is that I think they are there ! Every continent has its legends of some sort of "wild man" that lives high in thee mountains, or in areas where humans do not go. We call them by different names; Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yowie, Alma, and more.
These mysterious creatures range in size from smaller than a human, to over eight feet tall, and weighing several hundred lbs and up.
It makes total sense that we would not usually see them, and if they live a primitive life; living in caves, eating leaves and berries, there would not be any signs of camps, campfires, or even bones leftover from food.
We did not even know that the Panda bear existed until the 1800's, and it was still many years after that before we captured the first live specimen. Panda bears are easy to spot, they live mostly in eucalyptus tres, and are not even trying to evade being seen by people, and yet the Panda bear was considered a folk legend for hundred of years.
So could Neanderthal Man still be living today, hidden away in our secluded mountains ------ I say yes, they could ! !
 

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an alleged ape-like bipedal cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet.

Kaya, I have opened up your Yeti thread in Groups, where we that are interested in discussing the Yeti (and other similar humanoids), can do it, without disrupting the nay-sayers of these mysteries.
I think that once we open the topic, and let our minds and imaginations roam where they will; we may find other interesting subjects to search out as well.

Rather than start a new group, I put this thread in the paranormal group, which never really went anywhere after it opened. We have a bunch of topics that were posted, but no one ever really discussed any of them. I think if we can get a few interested and open-minded people participating , this group has potential.
We can start some new topics there, and lead it in the direction that members are interested in.
I know we have had people join the forum who expressed an interest in unexplained mysteries, but it seemed to never happen at the same time.

I copied my last post here as an introductory post for the new thread, and am hoping to see some other interested people adding to the discussion.

I'm not gullible. I don't accept all the silly stuff others firmly believe is true.
I haven't seen any credible evidence to prove any of these creatures ever existed. Nor am I convinced about other 'supernatural' abilities people claim to possess or profess to have seen. I don't believe in the yeti, abominable snowmen, ghosts, witches, fortune tellers, loch ness monsters, trolls, magic, demonic possession, superstitions, occult, UFO's, spirits, angels, telepathy, zombies, astrology, mythological creatures, sea serpents, the devil, haunted houses, fairies, etc. etc. etc.
My goodness... it's endless. I'm always amazed at the number of adults who believe all this junk. Come on people, grow up. No wonder so many people are vulnerable to scams & frauds. They will believe anything.

Thank you. A voice of reason in a wilderness of nonsense.
 
Last winter we had 11 feet of snow in MA. Whenever we got another snowstorm a guy in a yeti costume started walking the streets of Boston and was filmed by all the local news stations. He became a celeb of sorts. So in a manner of speaking, the yeti does exist. Lol. :eek:

Did they make sure to shoot out of focus? Can't mess with tradition. I'm sure there are a few people up there who will swear for the rest of their lives that they saw the real thing!
 
Underrock, my evidence is the same place as Shalimar's. I've seen and experienced a lot of things I have no scientific evidence of but I know I'm not crazy so I believe them to be true. I also know, at left 4 people, whom I trust that are now speaking out of the other side of their mouths after some of the things they've seen and heard. 3 are relatives and 1 was a friend who is now dead.
 
Maybe instead of keeping my mouth shut, I'll add one thing here. The lady I referred to above who died of cancer a few years ago, said she saw something crossing the main highway going up to Kings Canyon National Park. It was several miles down from the park, I'm not sure if it's 30 miles or so. Closer to Fresno. Anyway, she said it was walking upright like a man but one of the ugliest things she'd ever seen. Hairy and weird looking. She said it looked at her for a second (she was in her car) and then took off. She was a photographer that's been all over the world working and I am just sick she didn't take a photo of it. She said there wasn't time, especially with her driving. I asked her why she didn't tell people and she said "Why, so everyone can have a good laugh at my expense?".
 
For me there are few absolutes. The more degrees I added to my name, the more humble I became. PHD. Piled higher and deeper. Lol. For Empaths, yes folks, I was tested, extensively, human lab rat, for two years, scored in the 96 percentile, life is

more than a wave curve, mapped by the reality police. Lol. Is it because I am a genetic freak who had a vestigial gill removed from her throat? Is it extreme environmental conditioning? Who knows? Science can only disprove. They could not. Apparently

I can do weird shit, but they don't know why. I told them I must be crazy, but the rat psychologists disproved that. Lolol. I told them it was the Welsh witch side of my heritage. Lol. I taught my empathetic son that what is real often lies in the balance between what is, and is not, at any given moment. Kinda like truth often exists in the spaces between words.
 
The Yeti absolutely does exist and I have proof below.......I am however still uncertain about the actual existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.

Perhaps it's the fact that I got my advanced degree in Metaphysics, but I see the gap between what is known and what is not. Science and scientists be damned.

Or, as Mr. Spock once said - "There are always ... possibilities".
 
Well this thread is wandering into areas that touch people much more closely than the question of whether or not Yetis exist.
I will just confine myself to relating three personal experiences and my perceptions of them.

1-My older brother and I were playing Twenty Questions. The game where you think of a subject and say whether its animal, vegetable or mineral and people try to guess it within twenty questions. My brother said "Animal, vegetable and mineral."
I responded immediately "The Constitution!" ( Meaning "Old Iron Sides" the ship. Not the document.) and was correct without asking a single question.

2-At a church dinner, I heard that a very dear friend was in the hospital in critical condition. I went over immediately to the sanctuary and prayed alone harder than I ever did before or since. I found out later that same night that he had come through and was out of danger.

3-I was looking out of our fourth floor apartment towards a business thoroughfare about five miles in the distance. Suddenly a flight of several disc shaped objects appeared flying in formation from right to left and disappearing. Than another flight right behind!

Mental telepathy? Answered prayer? UFO's?

My own conclusions:

1-There was a model that I had built of the ship sitting on the piano in the room. I thought "On my next turn I will say "Animal, vegetable and mineral" referring to the wood, metal and crew of the actual ship. It was my brother's turn next. He had the exact same idea.
Just similar minds responding the same way to the same visual prompt.

2-Unfortunately for my answered prayer, I later found out that my friend had already recovered long before I ever made it.

3-I had just finished reading a book on flying saucers. I think it was "Flying Saucers are Real". So I was primed. That night there was a heavy overcast of low lying clouds. In those days, grand openings used swiveling search lights to attract crowds at night. Seen from the edge, the discs playing on the undersides of the clouds made perfect "saucers" flying in formation. I must admit. That one gave me a bit of a start! Had I seen it briefly from some back country road without a chance to study it, I would almost certainly be a believer today.

Our brains fools us all of the time as everyone knows who has watched the show "Brain Games".
