Japanese Yeti hunters head to Nepal

August 21st, 2008 by James

Forget about that Big Foot hoax. Japanese adventurers are heading to Nepal to find the Yeti:

Seven climbers, supported by sherpas and carrying cameras and telescopes, will spend 50 days on the lower reaches of the 7,661-metre (25,134-ft) Dhaulagiri IV to try and collect evidence of the beast’s existence, team leader Yoshiteru Takahashi said.

Takahashi, who carried out similar missions in the same area in 1994 and 2003, told Reuters that one of his team members and three sherpas had seen “something like the Yeti” from a distance five years ago.

“We believe that was the Yeti,” said Takahashi, a 65-year-old employee of a Tokyo furniture company. “So we are going to search for a third time. We need photographs and video tapes to prove it. It is very important.”

Do you believe in the Yeti?

I wanted Bigfoot to be real especially when they supposedly had a body, but after it turned out that the latest douche bags faked the whole thing its left me jaded and my hope of the legend of Bigfoot being real drained. So go out and find the Yeti for us people who had one pulled over on us Japan. I support you *****

I share your pain ashredrum. I love monster myths and I hope that one day a “Real” monster of myth will finally be discovered.
