The Yeti Theory
“Science: In recent years there has been a heated debate about the existence of the Yeti. Latest evidence indicates that the Yeti lives in the northern Urals, near Mount Otorten.” These words were found written in a satirical newsletter the hikers wrote on their last day. But these flippant words have sparked the interest of cryptozoologists. This theory is the subject of a show, Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives that aired on the Discovery Channel in 2014. They point to the image above, found on Thibeaux-Brignolle film roll. The image shows a human form (head, arms, walking on two legs). But the image also resembles one of the hikers at a distance, wearing the standard thick jacket with a hood that most of the hikers wore on the trail. There is a clear difference in the upper half of the person in the photograph, right where a jacket would lie.
