Everyone heard about the Bigfoot (Yeti): this topic is constantly pops up on the Internet and the media. But what evidence is there of him existence? Eyewitness accounts, casts of traces left, blurry pictures and very bad quality the only filming? “Well, that proves nothing,” the venerable grumble scientists, – here you show us a living yeti, or at least the skin and bones! “But there was such a case! In 1969, two zoologists (American and Belgian) seen and for several days studied the corpse of a bigfoot.
Amazing post from Minnesota
At the end of 1968 in the apartment of Ivan Sanderson, author of the book “Bigfoot: Myth Becomes True,” the telephone rang. His friend, an amateur zoologist, Terry Cullen, reported the amazing news: in the city of Rollingstone (Minnesota) came a wandering booth with a collection of wonders and freaks. Among other exhibits Demonstrates the frozen corpse of Bigfoot. At sanderson’s Belgian scientist Bernard Aivelmans visited this time, also studied the yeti problem. Both zoologists immediately flew to Minnesota
The message was not a hoax. In rollingstone really the “curiosity fair” was working, the catalog of which said “body prehistoric man. “By paying $ 1.75 per entry, Sanderson and Aivelmans walked into a small van. What are they there did you see?
Strange exhibit
In the middle of the van was a metal box with a 4-layer lid glass. Inside, in a block of transparent ice, lay a body covered with hair in 7-10cm. Height – 180 cm, head thrown back, left hand above head, right – on the stomach. Scientists came to the van every day and for hours we lit a block of lanterns, examined measured, photographed.

There was no doubt that this bigfoot had recently been alive. The creature was killed by two shots. One bullet crushed his left hand, the second hit the right eye. So the yeti lived to see of our days, and this very recently (unfortunately) met with man!
The owner of the van Frank Hansen reacted to everything absolutely calmly, to the question, where did he get such an interesting exhibit, told the bike that the Yeti’s body was smuggled from Kamchatka seal-refrigerator, after which they were resold several times in China and Hong Kong.
Private property versus science
However, his calm disappeared when scientists brought up the question of defrosting a corpse for further research. Hansen answered categorical refusal, referring to the will of the true owner, who wished to remain incognito. Questions about the sale of the exhibit Hansen didn’t even want to discuss: the Yeti’s body is not for sale at all money (such is the will of the owner!). Sanderson and Aivelmans even closed the admission to the van, and after a few days the “fair of wonders” left the city.
Both scientists published research articles man-monkeys, Sanderson – in the journal “Agrosy”, Aivelmans – in Bulletin of the Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Material reprinted numerous newspapers. Hansen found and attacked Journalists from London, Berlin, Tokyo. Amounts for the right to investigate the body went off all reasonable limits, but Hansen demanded leave him alone and stated that the exhibit was just skilful a fake. Some newspapers had the same opinion, openly mocking two scientists who allowed themselves to be conducted “Hollywood doll.”
But is it?
Sanderson and Avelmans answered confidently: “No.” At making a dummy would have to recreate a huge the number of anatomical subtleties of a prehistoric human ancestor, known only to narrow specialists, such as anatomically correct tilts of the hairline in certain parts of the body. Besides in addition, at the bottom of the box, where the ice layer was very thin, both the zoologist felt a distinct smell of cadaveric decomposition. The dummy doesn’t smell like that!

On this in 1969, the story ended. After publishing in the press about the “ice man from Minnesota” Hansen disappeared. Exhibit from the field of vision of scientists disappeared, its origin remained a mystery. IN 2013 year the missing was a snowman’s body was found!
Bigfoot is back?
The owner of the Austin Museum of Oddities, Steve Basti, said that he found the yeti corpse. The body is still in the family of Frank Hansen, deceased in the early 2000s. In the entries remaining after it the secret of the origin of the “exhibit” is revealed. Frank Hansen personally shot a yeti while hunting deer in the mountains of wisconsin early 1960 year. Frank’s strange behavior was also explained.

Hansen was a military pilot, less than 5 years remained until retirement, and he was afraid that as a result of the murder (of a man? a rare beast?) his successful service may be interrupted for 5cm. to the finish line, even if everything happened for self-defense (according to Hansen, the yeti attacked him).
First, he took out the corpse to hide, then he kept, waiting opportunity for his burial, then the shore, because I realized that at his disposal is the only unique proof of the existence of the Bigfoot.
However, he was always afraid of prosecution, because if the yeti are recognized as human, Hansen will spend the rest of his jail for murder! Two mutually exclusive feelings at the same time fought in it: 1) tell the whole world about it and 2) nothing to anyone do not tell. Having succumbed to the 1st, he drove the body for 2 years throughout the US and demonstrated to the public, but subsequently tried to do everything to forget about the strange “exhibit” as much as possible rather.
Basti is known to have negotiated a purchase with the Hansen family body and promised to exhibit “exhibit” on Independence Day on July 4. But That did not happen. What, again, some secrets?
