Hear the Yeti call

It was brought to my attention about yeti sightings in Stanthorpe, which have been going on at least since 1934. Two weeks ago, it was reported in the Courier-Mail that American TV crews from the series Animal Planet have heard yowie calls in a Queensland forest near the NSW border and will be airing them soon. The crew said the audio was from a species unknown in Australia. Last week, the Daily Telegraph reported a yeti sighting near Sydney. Why do people ridicule anything they do not understand. These mockers are the same ones who would ridicule any UFO sighting. It is easy to mock, so it takes some courage to report strange things. It is worth remembering that Giant Pandas were once a species of legend, and it took many decades to find one alive.
I have seen yeti many times over the years. They certainly do not look like the Bigfoot described in the Himalayas and they are not black. They seem to be able to read a person’s thoughts. Recently, I have seen a yeti in Stanthorpe too, and I think it is the same one I saw a few years ago. They do not all look alike! They emit a strange smell, and they make weird noises. They do not seem threatening to me. I wonder why they are so close to communities?
