“Yeti” Photographed
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 9th, 2007
The famed coelacanth researcher and dinofish.com site author Jerome Hamlin sends along the above photographs.
Hamlin writes:
Here’s a picture of a “Yeti” that approached our car at a gas station in India last April! I thought of you when I snapped it.
I was quite impressed by the outfit and in the heat. I think his idea was to approach tourist cars for money. He’s worth it. I have him on video as well, making hissing growls. I was also surprised by the cultural influence. Many of these far away places have learned to parody themselves in situ!
Our thanks to Dr. Hamlin for the look, and permission to share the photograph here, as well.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
LOL. Thanks, that made me smile.
What’s that on his chest?
My guess is that it’s a pouch for Bigfoot baby. He looks a bit fat too.
Poor creature’s probably been eating on tourist left-overs and garbage. I mean, his face is turning blue.
hey loren… great yeti photo. bill
Now THAT’S what I mean by tantamount to proof!
Yeti, done. On to confirm the sasquatch!
Somebody throw this guy a couple bucks so he can afford to have thumbs on his gloves.
Nice!
I’ve always wondered where “Patty” was hanging out after all these years. Good job!
He has a sort of “flower child” look to the face, which works somehow.
