Ya, it may sound that I'm nuts. But really, the Yeti of the Himalayas (also known as Bigfoot) exists. All wretched attempts to capture one on tape have seemed impossible. But this incident should make you more careful about "Them". You know, they live amongst us, I mean in the Himalayas.
10,00 feet above sea level. That was my position on the Rohtang Pass in Himachal Pradesh. I was skiing all by myself and then lost my way. How silly of me!
Night time- It was unbearably cold. I could see lights up a few mountains. That meant human settlements. All I thought was to pull my sleeping bag out and sleep in it. I thought I would try to reach those houses tomorrow.
3 hours later- How my body was able to bear the cold, I don't know. I was completely zipped up in my sleeping bag. Something shifted nearby. I was feeling as if I was being hauled up by a wrestler. I tried to wriggle but I couldn't. I was feeling to numb. I sensed that the 'somebody' was carrying me.
Morning- I woke up feeling quiet warm and fresh. I opened the zip of my bag. I gasped at the sight. Three Big foots were peering anxiously at my face. I realized that they might be a family. There was a father, a mother and a child. They all seemed quiet interested in me.
10 pm- All of the members were sleeping soundly. They were actually snoring! I got out of my sleeping bag (that I hadn't done for a day) and slowly took out my skis. I was going to escape. I was not meant to be a foot long sub for them. I strapped my bag and simply left. I gave one last glance on them. Not one of them stirred.
Morning- I had simply had ran out of energy. I suddenly collapsed. I took of my skis and started crawling towards a ledge. Just beyond it was the tourist lodge! I couldn't believe my luck. I burst into the reception room.
I, since that day, go red when someone talks about a non-existing thing. All I know "something is out there".
