Izen, I want to share with you my third-hand yeti experience. I was little, may be 10-12 years old. My grand father read me a travel story written by Yogi Narihari Nath during his travel to Muktinath. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the magazine. All I remember is the story he read to me. In that story Yogi Narihari Nath claims that he saw a yeti. According to his descriptions Yeti was about 7 feet tall, foot print was about 12 inches and had four fingers, body was covered with white hair and the arms were rather longer than human. Yogi was traveling with a team of about 15 people that included porters and fellow travelers. They were passing a snow packed area (pardon me I don?t remember the details) all of a sudden he saw that a Yeti surpassed him from the side. He was amazed and took his camera out. The camera he had was old (considered an older model at that time) and took the picture, by the time he had the camera ready and took the picture yeti was already at a distance. The weather condition was not good due to those reasons the picture was not good and it is hard to identify the yeti from the picture. He had published the sketch of the yeti based in what he saw. Later on my grandfather passes away and I did my SLC from Padmpodaya High School. I waiting for the SLC result and learned that Yogi Natihari Nath was in town. I visited him at a place he was staying on the side of Gorakhnath temple at Pashupati. I talked to Yogi NarihariNathji exclusively about his encounter with Yeti and I insisted that I wanted to see the picture he had taken. Yogiji had one of his helpers look for the picture in the storage where he had all his books, historical archives and pictures stored. After several hours of search the helper could not locate the picture and Yogiji dismissed the search at that point for the "not-so-good" picture and we talked in detail about the yeti. Here is what I recall from that discussion. Yeti was walking really fast, much faster than he could ever travel. (Yogiji was considered one of the fasters walker/hiker of his times and could walk for days without slowing down or taking a rest according to his close aides). When he inquired about the yeti with the locals the locals called it शिबजीको दुत, and said if you leave them alone he (yeti) will not harm you. I used to visit monasteries and have seen the skull of a yeti in monasteries which is considered good luck. The skull of the yeti looks more like the top of the coconut shell with the visible signs of nerves. Based on my discussion with Yogiji and seeing the skull of the yeti in monasteries I have little doubt about yeti; it is a matter of finding it..
