"What the hell is it? I bet there's something on the loose out there. I know what I saw."

Imagine enjoying a pleasant vacation at the Spanish Formigal ski resort in the Pyrenees Mountains, when, all of a sudden, you see the Abominable Snowman, or Yeti.

The Internet has been abuzz over the reported sighting of a large, white-colored furry creature walking on two legs through a tree-lined area of snow at the popular resort, according to the New York Daily News .

On Jan. 29, a skier, using the name Kangaroo, reportedly saw the distant cousin of Bigfoot, and took a very short, not-surprisingly typical, shaky, blurry unconvincing video, along with a couple of separate pictures. The following video from TOMO News.net shows these images:

Unexplained Paranormal Phenomena reports that the skier posted this short encounter online, saying:

"This morning skiing in Formigal with friends, we've come across this. What the hell is it? A bear or a bloody Yeti? We've told the ski resort, but they haven't taken us seriously. I bet there's something on the loose out there. I know what I saw."

However, a resort spokesman confirmed a search of the area had taken place after the "Yeti encounter."

"We have spoken to the witnesses of the sighting ... and after combing the area, we have found nothing. We believe, therefore, that there is no cause for alarm and that visitors' security is guaranteed. In any case, we will remain alert."

Various possible explanations have emerged as to the identity of the strange being. They include a bear, Photoshop creation, a soldier dressed in camouflage ... or just a guy in a costume. 

But there are other questions surrounding this incident.

Did the same person take the two still pictures, showing the "Yeti" from the left side and the back? Also, the trees look entirely different between the video and the two separate images.

Finally, and this is the part that no other media outlet seems to have suggested: In the following image, what, exactly is this "Yeti" or bear or human actually doing? Because, from one perspective, it sure does look a lot like this individual is peeing! Yes, doing No. 1 in the forest snow. If that's the case, DNA evidence might exist, although we're not exactly rushing out to collect it.

What is that steam-like, long stream thing emerging (or flowing) from the approximate crotch area? If not pee, perhaps it's a light saber.

If this is simply a Photoshopped project, why would the artist decide to show a urinating Yeti? Its alleged North American relative, Bigfoot/Sasquatch, must be peeing its pants over this one.

Oh, wait, there's no evidence that these hairy creatures even wear pants.

 

The Legend of Bigfoot Continues
Bigfoot Raises Its Hairy Head To Kick Off 2014(01 of23)

You just can't keep a good, hairy beast down -- that is, unless it's allegedly real, and it's supposedly dead. 2014 got off to a big, Bigfoot start, with promoter Rick Dyer claiming to have killed one of the beasts and was taking the body on tour for the public to pay and see (including its less than stellar manhood). Problem was, when push came to shove, Dyer apparently couldn't get many venues interested enough in his Bigfoot traveling show , and it ended up being a no-show. Dyer eventually admitted to the hoax.

Naturally, this picture and Rodriguez's story generated huge controversy, with most folks declaring it a hoax. (credit:John Rodriguez)

Bigfoot or bear? Pictured is a second impression left on the rear side window of the same truck from the previous slides. According to forensic/law enforcement photographer Mickey Burrow, "What you're seeing is a swipe mark. It looks like a small hand, swiping to the left, leaving another impression, and there's hair within those areas -- you can see where the hair would be." (credit:Mickey Burrow)
