DragonQuest Adventures will be organizing, for the first time in Bhutan, a three week scientific expedition to search for the elusive Yeti or “Migoi” as it is locally known, in early October 2008. The expedition shall be called “YetiQuest”. DragonQuest Adventures has sought special permission to enter the “Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary, a 650 sq.km reserve created specifically to protect the habitat of the Migoi. This area is also home to many extremely rare animals such as the Blue bear, Snow leopard, Clouded leopard, Tiger & the Takin. Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary is a very remote area in eastern Bhutan and thickly forested with mixed conifer, rhododendrons & bamboo forest. It is also home to the nomadic Brokpas who have regular encounters with the Migoi. The expedition will consist of THREE teams with FOUR members to a team. We would like the teams to consist of mainly serious enthusiasts to ensure that the expedition is both successful and enjoyable. The aim of this expedition will be to prove the existence of the Migoi through pictures & videos or through DNAsamples from hairs, bones etc.
. The method of coleecting these samples must be conducted in a scientific manner and the teams/members will be responsible for bringing along the necessary tools and equipment. Bhutanese do not dispute the existence of the Migoi. They have always accepted it as part of their existence and there is no real desire to prove to the rest of the world that it really does exists.
The Bhutanese consider the Migoi to be an integral part of their culture and they are even depicted in ancient Bhutanese manuscripts. High in the uplands of Bhutan, encounters and sightings of the Migoi are so common among the nomads that it does not stir excitement. For many nomads who have seen the Migoi, the skepticism of Westerners in the existence of the Yeti is seen merely as yet another manifestation of their arrogance.
A North Devon team of scientists has returned from a three-week expedition to the Caucasus Mountains in Russia with what may be evidence of a creature closely related to man. The five-man team from the Woolsery-based Centre for Fortean Zoology, teamed up with Russian and Ukrainian scientists to hunt the almasty, a huge, hairy wildman said to inhabit parts of Russia and the former USSR. Cryptozoologist Richard Freeman said: "We found hair, dung and skull shards that may be from an almasty. These ...
Submitted by Stance: No question about it. The creature found on July 13 on a Montauk beach, only a few miles west of where the government conducted the infamous Montauk Project time-travel experiments on children kidnapped from New York City streets, is definitely from outer space. No? How about a turtle without a shell, or a pug given a burial at sea from a passing yacht.
Ever since Jenna Hewitt, Rachel Goldberg, and Courtney Fruin found the thing in front of the Surfside restaurant, the ele...
A clayton county Police officer says he and a friend have the body of a Bigfoot. The animal -- a legendary, hairy hominid that supposedly lives in remote forests -- is said to be dead, frozen, and "shocking." Matthew Whitton, a 28-year-old, who has been with the department for six years, and Rick Dyer, a 31-year-old former correctional officer, posted a video on youtube.com, last week, claiming to have the male Bigfoot corpse. Whitton and Dyer co-own bigfoottracker.com, offering exploration expe...

It"s a legend that has intrigued people for decades. Now Huddersfield holidaymakers are convinced they have captured the Loch Ness Monster on camera. And Examiner readers can make their own minds up by viewing the footage on the videos section of the website by clicking here. David Garside and his dad, Graham, of Glenside Road, Slaithwaite, were on holiday in Scotland in April when they believe the creature appeared to them. During a tourist boat trip on the loch, David spotted something strange...
They see him here, they see him there but, unfortunately, they never have a camera to prove it. All that could be about to change, however, with plans to once and for all capture the legendary ‘Beast of Blairadam’ on camera. The Beast, described as a big black cat, has been spotted several times over the years at the Kelty forest but its existence has never been proved. But now the group Big Cats in Britain (BCIB) want to set up a webcam near the woods to try and spot the monster as it prowls ar...
Given their size, you might assume they had all been found by now. But scientists believe the world"s oceans are still hiding giant underwater creatures which have yet to be discovered. Marine ecologists have predicted there could be as many as 18 unknown species, with body lengths greater than 1.8 metres, still swimming in the great expanses of unexplored sea. Using statistical modelling, they measured the rate at which new large sea creatures have been discovered since 1830 and found that the ...
British artist has unveiled her "photofit" of a yeti from the professed eye-witness accounts of Himalayans - and said she saw what is claimed to be the scalp of one. Pollyanna Pickering was in the Bhutan region, gathering material for a new exhibition, when she came across what experts are claiming is "potentially explosive" proof that the mythical creatures have existed. The 65-year-old artist from Derbyshire said she was able to draw a sketch of a yeti after speaking to the indigenous Brokpas ...
Submitted by Vaughn A Picard: Randy Fobister"s pictures have been circulating through Grassy Narrows like gossip this week. They are of a 15-inch long, six-toed, "big" footprint. Driving to a blueberry picking site Tuesday, about an hour north of the Grassy Narrows First Nation reserve located 80 km northeast of Kenora, Helen Pahpasay and her mother saw something they"ve never seen before. "I seen a black, um ... thing," Pahpasay said. "It was tall and lanky and it was walking towards our way. "...
It is right up there with the Loch Ness monster: the subject of claimed sightings, passionately promoted by believers, dismissed by the scientific community. But now experts say they have found the best evidence to date that the yeti might - just conceivably - be real. Tests at Oxford Brookes University on hairs which local people believe came from a yeti in an Indian jungle have failed to link them with any known species and are said to bear "a startling resemblance" to those brought back from ...
The hunt for the mysterious Yeti - otherwise known as the Abominable Snowman - has frustrated scientists for decades. Yesterday, scientists at Oxford Brookes University joined in the hunt after being given a number of hair strands taken from what is purported to be a Yeti-like creature in India. The Brookes boffins used high-powered microscopes to analyse the samples found in the West Garo jungle of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya. They compared the suspected Yeti strands to samples taken f...
Sightings are being reported again in Cherokee county of the tall, hairy creature with a face resembling a human and a strong stench - Bigfoot. “I feel like Faye Ray here,” said Sheryl Mast, of the Gideon community. “Maybe he"s looking for a girlfriend.” Bigfoot is a common reference to an uncommon and unexplained occurrence. People seeing it may assume the creature is a bear or choose to not tell anyone about what they saw. After all who would believe them? Sightings have been reported in almos...
Jason Williams said he saw it one night in Ben Lomond. The 18-year-old was shooting at coyotes with an air rifle from his backyard on Scenic Way when he saw a dark figure -- about 7 feet, light brown hair, muscular build, about 400 pounds -- walking upright through the bushes behind his house, he said. "I immediately put out my cigarette and started towards my house," he said of the February night. "If there was something that big around, I didn"t want to be outside." Scared and confused, the te...
In the US it's known as bigfoot, in Canada as sasquatch, in Brazil as mapinguary, in Australia as a yowie, in Indonesia as sajarang gigi and, most famously of all, in Nepal as a yeti. The little known Indian version of this legendary ape-like creature is called mande barung - or forest man - and is reputed to live in the remote West Garo hills of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya. I was invited by passionate yeti believer Dipu Marak to travel throughout the area to hear for mysel...
Villagers here are reeling from the shock of discovering two extra large footprints near the fence of a nearby orchard. They probably resembled those mentioned many times in foreign reports in claims of sightings of the mysterious ‘Bigfoot’. The shocker has been spreading like wildfire in Daro district for the past few days and among those drawn to the phenomenon was local businessman Tan Soon Kuang. Yesterday, Tan, 42, e-mailed the images of the mysterious creature’s footprints. He said he pers...
Bigfoot and lake monsters, beware: There's a price on your heads. Binocular manufacturer Bushnell, along with "Field and Stream" magazine, have teamed up to offer $1 million to anyone who can "provide an unaltered photograph/video, verified and substantiated by a panel of scientific experts [including a zoologist and biologist], the evidence required to prove a Sasquatch/Bigfoot/Yeti exists." The contest started a few days ago and ends Dec. 15, but before heading out...
