Locals in the area have reported a creatures described as heavyset, about two meters tall. The creatures were covered in red and black fur, and they are said to have climbed trees. Over a dozen reports have been collected from those who allegedly have seen the creature near the Azasskaya cave in the region.

The Azasskaya cave is several kilometers long with part of it passing under a riverbed. Burtsev will be accompanied by ethnography professor Valery Kimeyev, representatives of local administration, and several of the locals who reported the sightings.

I imagine the Bumble was the introduction to the ‘yeti’ to many children over the years who watched the 1964 stop motion animation Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special.

The Bumble hates everything to do with Christmas. He gets knocked unconscious and all his teeth removed in the Christmas Special, but is seen at the end, with his teeth back, placing a star on the top of a Christmas tree.

So here on Day 4 of our 12 Days of Paranormal Christmas, we give a big shout out to the Bumble and we are sorry he got his arm cut off by Luke Skywalker in the beginning of Empire Strikes Back.

Yoshiteru Takahashi, the leader of the Yeti Project Japan, back from his teams 3rd attempt to locate a Yeti on Dhaulagiri IV — a 7,661-metre (25,135-foot) peak in the Himalayas spoke with reporters in Kathmandu on Monday.

The team reports a sighting in an area where Takahashi saw what he thought was a yeti during a previous expedition in 2003 and the photos of footprints.

“The footprints were about 20 centimeters (eight inches) long and looked like a human’s,” said Yoshiteru Takahashi. “Myself and other team members have been coming to the Himalayas for years and we can recognize bear, deer, wolf and snow leopard prints and it was none of those.”
