The Big FootBigfoot

A very large, hairy, humanoid creature from North American folklore reputed to inhabit wilderness areas of the U.S. and Canada, esp. the Pacific Northwest. Also, known as Big Foot, Sasquatch,The Abominable Snowman, or Yeti.

Yeti

The Abominable Snowman, or Metch-Kangmi in Tibetan, is a huge, hairy creature that walks upright and haunts the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. For years explorers have reported footprints measuring as much as 12½ by 6½ inches in the snow.

While leading an expedition on Mt. Annapurna in 1970, Don Whillans spotted a large, furry creature walking on two legs on a nearby mountain. He watched through binoculars for half an hour before the "snowman" vanished in a clump of trees.

Scientists believe bears, which can walk on two legs, could have left some of the footprints. Other observers suggest wolves, goats, snow leopards, or perhaps falling rocks or snow could be responsible. However, the Sherpa people of the region have traditionally believed that the Himalayan peaks are haunted by demons and spirits, while the Yeti, an ancient beast, prowls the mountains.

Yeren

Variously referred to as the Yiren, Yeh Ren, Chinese Wildman, "The Wildman of Shennongjia", Man-Monkey or "Man Bear" is said to be an as yet undiscovered hominid in China's remote mountainous and forested Hubei province.[1]

Many people think that there is a species and that the Yeti, Bigfoot, Yeren, Yowie, etc, are all related somehow and that when all the continents were together they traveled to different places and adapted very quickly. This theory has not been proven yet but many people believe it to be true.

to walk away slowly except one he was the smallest but looked the smartest and oldest he looked at me like started into my eyes it seemed like he was trying to say something maybe even apologize or warn me ill never truly know all i know is he turned and walked away but looked like two of the youngest ones they lunged at me and more rock landed next to me and the biggest one the last one landed close to eight feet about forty five degrees north east of me it was big close to fifty pounds away from me all the wolves bolted away then and out of shear willpower i turned to see what had saved me to see nothing i looked around couldn't see anything i turned to grab my filled jugs of water when i heard rocks fall i turned around as fast as i could and at the top of the mountain well that hill of it their stood what at first i thought was a man but it was to tall and bulky and it was slightly hunched its eyes were a little bit larger then a mans eyes but they seemed to see alot more i felt like he or she was looking at me with a caring gaze i didn't feel any danger more longing honestly its build looked as if it could wrestle with bears i couldn't make much detail of it but its eyes seemed to have lite from the inside and it seemed smart then it turned and walked away diapering into the woods i wanted to follow it but my dad called my name and i ran back to him he was mad at me as usual but Ive always wondered was that Bigfoot or was it just one of my many guardians?
