The Russian Snowman
Picture
Picture
Despite many sightings by both
professionals and others, there is no
known photograph of a Russian
Snowman (also almasty, kaptar and
other local names). Footprints have
been found and also vacant rough
shelters that are attributed to the
species.

The first image seen at the left is
based on general descriptions.

The next image (Karapetian
hominoid) is based on a description
provided by Dr. Karapetian (a
medical doctor) who personally
examined a man of this nature.

The next image (Zana) is based on
descriptions of a female of the
species who was habituated by
village people (late 1800s) and had
children by human partners. The
artwork was created by Brendon
Bannon, a professional artist, at my
request.

Although the Russian snowman
shares many of the same features as
the sasquatch, they are not
considered the same species.

I believe it is reasonable to
speculated that the Russian
snowman may have migrated into
North America over the Bering Strait
land bridge and is confused with the
sasquatch when it is sighted.

The leading authority on the Russian
snowman is Dmitri Bayanov,
Moscow, Russia. His book, In the
Footsteps of the Russian Snowman

(Crypto-Logos Publishers, Moscow
Russia, 1996) provides remarkable
accounts of the species. it is
bordering on impossible to concluded
that firm evidence of its existence is
not somewhere within the “Russian
establishment.”




The Chinese Yeren
Picture

Traditional artwork showing a yeren.

Hard evidence supporting the existence of the yeren or
Chinese wild man, is rare. There are a few footprint casts and
alleged hair strands, but that’s about all. Traditional stories
and sighting are the mainstay of evidence. From what we
know it is a fairly tall (up to 6 feet, 5 inches) and leaves
footprints up to between 14 and 15 inches long. The prints
appear similar to those of the sasquatch. Beds made of forest
material have been found and attributed to the creature,
along with possible feces, but as with the sasquatch, there is
nothing to substantiate the connection. The main Chinese
scientist studying the yeren is Dr. Zhou Guoxing. He was
originally quite enthusiastic as to the creature’s possible
existence, but lately (2012) has emphatically stated: "There
is no wild man in this world. I've visited every place
where the wild man was reported in China. I've studied
everything related to the wild man including hair, skulls
and specimens. All of them are dyed human hair or
come from monkeys and bears."

Cook by a Chinese
research society.


The creatures seen
here in this old
drawing are referred to
as “Sinsin.” The
information provided
relative to this
drawing states, “Sinsin
lives in mountainous
ravines, resembles an
ape, has human face
and limbs, head hair is
long, the head and
face ‘are put straight.’
Its voice is like the
crying of an infant and
the barking of a dog.”

These are the hands and feet of an unknown primate that was killed in Zhejiang Province in 1957. A local school teacher cut them off the dead oddity and preserved them. Analysis by Dr. Guoxing revealed that they don’t identify with the yeren. They are simply those of a very large unidentified monkey. It could be, of course, that this creature would be taken as a yeren if it were briefly sighted in
the forest.

The Australian Yowie

Descriptions of the Australian yowie are essentially the
same as those of the sasquatch. They are so close that
it appears they are the same creature. Aboriginal
legends related to the yowie appear to go back to the
origins of the people themselves, just as the sasquatch
goes back to the origins of Native people in North
America.

A pictograph of a “giant hair-covered man” has been
found (image at lower left), and although we don’t know
its actual age, it is certainly very old.

The first reported sighting of a yowie by a European
was in 1848. Since that time, there have been about
300 well-documented incidents.

As the soil in Australia is most often very dry and hard,
footprints are difficult to find. Nevertheless, there are
some photographs and footprint casts.

The full history of the yowie has been documented by
Paul Cropper and Tony Healy in their book, The Yowie:
In Search of Australia’s Bigfoot
(Strange Nation,
Sydney, Australia, 2006). Astounding evidence is
provided, but as yet no photograph of the creature has
come to light.

The first photograph on the top left is an artistic
rendering by Barry Olive. The eyes are blank to
illustrated that this is what people see when vehicle
headlights strike the creature.

The Yeti
Picture

The yeti, said to inhabit the Himalayas, was first brought to the
attention of the outside world about 120 years ago. It is reported to
be similar to the sasquatch, although generally not as tall and
robust. The image seen at the left is likely an accurate portrayal of
its head and face.

  

Picture

There is no known photograph of a yeti.
Although there are a considerable number of sightings of the creature, most are likely by people who simply would not own a camera.

The main hard evidence is the footprints it leaves. Its feet are totally different from
any of the other hominoids. The cast seen on the right was made from a photograph of one of an alleged yeti’s footprints.

The creature has religious significance to some people in the regions where it is said to exist. They have obtained what they believe are yeti “relics” (three scalps and a skeletal hand). One scalp was analyzed by scientists, and it was determined to be made from the hide of serow (goat/antelope family). Whether the other scalps are the same is not known. Bones from the hand have been scientifically analyzed and according to their DNA they are human bones. Is it possible that the yeti also has human DNA?

Picture
An outstanding book by Peter Byrne entitled, The Monster Trilogy Guidebook: How to Find a Bigfoot, a Yeti, & the Loch Ness Monster, is a “must read” for those interested in the yeti. Byrne brings to the table his personal experiences in searching for the creature. The book will be available from Hancock House Publishers late spring, 2013.
