Historic Shipton Yeti Photographs Up For Sale
World famous Christie's is offering up for sale the historic Shipton Yeti footprint photographs taken during the 1951 Everest expedition. This is a dream item for any cryptozoologist's collection. Starting bid is 4,978.80 US.
"Online – Christie’s is pleased to announce full details of Out of the Ordinary: The Online Edit which will run from 27 August to 10 September 2014 offering collectors of all things extraordinary the chance to acquire unusual objects from around the world at any time. A leading highlight of this online sale is a group of photographs showing Yeti footprints in the Memluk Basin (estimate: £3,000 – 5,000, illustrated above). The photographs were taken by Eric Earle Shipton (1907-1977) during the 1951 Everest expedition. Shipton’s photographs ignited speculation about the existence of a Yeti which had been growing since N.A. Tombazi made the first European sighting during an expedition to the Sikkim Himalaya in 1925."
"YETI! Shipton’s photographs of these mysterious footprints were taken in the Memluk Basin. With no means of measuring them, after examining them, Shipton took four photographs: two of the indistinct prints with human footprints, and rucsac beside them for comparison; the other two photographs were of one of the most detailed and distinct group of prints, with an ice axe for scale, and a second one with a booted foot. The footprints measure between 12 and 13 inches long. Edmund Hillary had a further encounter in 1952 on a pass between the Ngojumba and Khumbu glaciers: ‘We were climbing quite a steep pitch when Pemba stopped and picked something off the rock. Obviously greatly excited, he showed it to Angpemba. Feeling somewhat curious, I asked them what it was all about. They placed in my hand a tuft of long black hairs — thick and coarse, they looked more like bristles than anything else. “Yeti, Sahib! Yeti!” I couldn’t help being impressed by their conviction, and it did seem a strange place to find some hair. We were well over 19,000 feet and the Abominable Snowman was obviously no mean rock climber’ (Hillary, High Adventure, 1955, p. 103).
Following these various incidents, Hillary mounted an expedition in 1960 to collect and evaluate evidence of the Yeti, with inconclusive results. British mountaineer Don Whillans was a fervent believer, claiming he encountered the Yeti while scaling Annapurna in 1970. He observed a few human-like footprints in the snow around his camp one morning and, that evening, claimed that through binoculars he watched a bipedal, ape-like creature for about 20 minutes as it apparently searched for food not far from his camp."

DeleteLOL wat?
Like seriously wat?
The oldest account of Bigfoot was recorded in 986 AD by Leif Ericson and his men. During their first landing in the New World, the Norsemen wrote about monsters that were horribly ugly, hairy, swarthy and with great black eyes.
DeleteLOCATION: As the viking settlements in Newfoundland, Canada are found mainly in The Northern Pennisula, it is likely that these events took place here; today the areas are known as L'Anse aux Meadows and St.Anthony
DeleteTERRAIN: Wooded, Today the Northern Pennisula of the island is a major tourist site. Only one major highway allows access by land.
OBSERVED: The First Sasquatch Sighting by a European?
It is a little known historical fact that the first Sasquatch encounter was perhaps observed by the vikings who settled on the island of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. Leif Erikson, or Leif the Lucky (son of Erik the Red), and his crew of Norsemen landed on the rugged shores on "The Rock" some one thousand years ago, becoming the first Europeans to set foot in the Western World. Leif kept a record of his journey across the Atlantic, from Iceland to Greenland, and of his experiences whilst in Newfoundland, the last point of land on his voyage. Among his accounts, Leif told of seeing huge hairy men who towered over him and his Berzerker crew (and the vikings are known to have been large men). The "huge hairy men", according to Leif, lived in the Woods and had a rank odour and a deafening shriek. Apparently, Leif had several sightings of the "huge hairy men" before departing the island.
ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):
DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE: Towering height, hairy, man-like, rank smell, deafening verbal tones., The natives of Newfoundland, the Beothuck (now extinct), most likely had similar relations to the Sasquatch like other native bands, especially those of Western Canada (ie Bella Coola). Leif's accounts spoke of his meeting of a race of men (seperate from the "huge hairy men"), which were almost certainly the Beothuck.
OTHER NOTES: voyagers - sailed the Atlantic, charting course from Iceland to Greenland to Newfoundland, settling in the latter for some time before retracing their voyage back home.
OTHER OTHER NOTES:
I initially was introduced to this information from an "Unexplained" documentary (broadcast station and show title not recalled). I later found other info pertaining to this in the archives at a St.John's library. The remains of the Viking settlement (in L'Anse aux Meadows) was found in the 1960's. It is now a National Historical Site (where during summer, 2000, the voyage of Leif the Lucky was retraced, having the recreated ship landing on the Northern Pennisula). The arrival of Leif Erikson is celebrated every year in L'Anse aux Meadows by the residents of the area.

DeleteFor the Anon up top who had an interest in Erikson;
ReplyDelete"From Irish tradition Fomorians were "giants" who invaded in ships from Africa, and demanded children at Halloween time. Pict tradition held the same. The giants were finally driven north to the Hebrides Isles off northwest Scotland and to Tory Island off northwest Ireland in the deep Atlantic. From there, they preyed on the people of Ulster.
The Fomorian giants were supposedly endowed with double-rows of teeth. Interestingly, Anglo-American settlers in the upper Ohio were told Native traditions of " giants," and early settlers claimed they were digging up (from Lake Erie-to the Ohio River) the skeletons of "giants" with massive skulls and double rows of teeth.
The Mandarins of the Canadian Museum of Civilization (Hull/Ottawa) also at long last admit: "Historically documented native beliefs in Canada appear to have been quite similar to those of the pre-Christian Celtic, Germanic and old Scandinavian peoples of northwestern Europe."

I think Jeff Pruitt did the best of the three recreation efforts we have seen. Blevins suit looks similar to Patty when seen from the back at a distance, but Blevins also got a number of key elements that Pruitt did not such has head shape, foot shape and colour.
ReplyDeleteIts just too easy.

Show us the verified evidence of bigfoot? We can do it no problem for every other species. Why not bigfoot? Too easy. Cos it don't exist.
Royally smoked.
The funniest thing is the footers will attempt to shoehorn anything they can to be "evidence" of bigfoot. None of it is scientificly acceptable of course but it sure does give us a hilarious circus show to watch. No complaints here.
Let's go back to the packham bigfoot suit that joe and the resident butthurt footer and poster boy for footer stupidity were talking about earlier. Do you really look at that and think that was a recreation of the pgf? Of course it wasn't. If it was an actual recreation attempt you'd think they would at least get the colour right. The bbc just got a costume company to make them a bigfoot suit and that is what they got. This is a classic example of one of many failed arguments put forth by the footers.
If we want to look at a patty recreation how about we actually look at one rather than using one that clearly wasnt meant to be a patty recreation.We have 2 examples of these. We have the dfoot recreation and the blevins recreation. Both excellent examples. Blevins recreated the arm proportions perfectly but his budget was too low to get a similar style fur. Dfoots recreation showed identical "muscle" and bulk, quite excellent really. This is the same guy that made patty bleevers on the bff look like fools when he photoshopped patty onto a different background and all the bleevers said it was an obvious suit. He embarrassed them so bad they banned him and swept the whole thing under the giant footers rug of ignorance. Also lets not forget that side by side shot of a gemora butt with the patty butt. Identical.
And anyway the whole notion of requiring an identical replication is nonsense anyway. The footers know this which is why they use it, instead of doing something like, oh I dont know, find a real life specimen that matches patty.
Its just too easy.
Fish in a barrel.
"Show us the verified evidence of bigfoot? We can do it no problem for every other species. Why not bigfoot? Too easy. Cos it don't exist."
DeleteThis is because whenever you are presented with evidence, you claim it's a hoax, do you see how stupid you are for requesting more? Every time a piece of evidence is presented, even for it to have a particular expert in his/her respected field to it, you go into denial mode based in an agenda to outrightly attack that source as opposed to being impartial. Debating a denialist is akin to biology evolutionist debating a creationist. The denialist will focus on his own argument and close out any means of counter argument; this serves as an important level of self worth and belonging to a theory group that can provide some sense of community, whilst it also avoids the awkward reality of countering information that is without a counter point.
"The funniest thing is the footers will attempt to shoehorn anything they can to be "evidence" of bigfoot. None of it is scientificly acceptable of course but it sure does give us a hilarious circus show to watch. No complaints here."
I think that you will find plenty of wildlife biologists, anthropologists and forensic experts, not to mention the best genticist in the world now looking for answers, within this subject. Most who Apply their expertise have had to do so once retired because their respected careers would be attacked, but we are now seeing a move away from that with recognitions as profound as that of Dr Sykes, who, regardless of whether he has the holy grail or not, is looking for answers and is not governed by the heuristical system that is a slap in the face to the scientific model that was devised to counter such closure desperation. If Bigfoot didn't exist, it wouldn't leave tracks and tracks are usually good evidence for any wildlife biologist and the fact that these have examples of falsification does not erode the legitimacy of this source of evidence because we know that all forms of presentable evidence can be falsified in the court of law.

DeleteNo... That is a way to snake out of your biggest problem and it's pathetic. Packham had an entire BBC budget to throw at that effort and the entire programme was an effort to condemn the footage, and Patterson & Gimlin at any cost. Why would a documantary programme focussing on proving that the PGF was fake, not be outrightly attempting to make 'the suit', but any suit? I've come across some very poor arguments in my time, but that has to be one of the worst ever attempted at being sold. The suit was a sham and the Gimlin interview edited and sensationalised. The programme was a complete failure once you acknowledge those facts and it is fitting that a programme aimed at helping children sleep better at night should sit well with so many obsessed with that level if reassurance so deeply required from their childhoods.

http://bigfootbooksblog.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/leroy-blevins-unfinished-aborted.html?m=1
... Look how badly those attempts at recreation came out. Neither of them have the leg proportions, arm proportions, don't have evidence of bending fingers, muscle tone in the back AND legs, hair color, spinal erectors, extended toes, and the Blevins had to have the width reduced by 5%, not to mention that we don't see either examples in motion. To suggest that these recreations should be considered accurate regardless of all these failures? SPECIAL PLEADING. Oh... And thise efforts with all those failures... Does nothing but strengthen the claim Roger couldn't have made a suit that topped such shams 46 years later.
"And anyway the whole notion of requiring an identical replication is nonsense anyway. The footers know this which is why they use it, instead of doing something like, oh I dont know, find a real life specimen that matches patty."
In any field of research, you require an accumilation of all sources of evidence to promote legitimacy. In Patty, we have evidence that shows a bipedal hominid in motion that has no means to debunk... this being a proverbial a piece of the puzzle. To go with this we have other sources of footage, tracks, recorded speech, eyewitnesses, etc. It is quite funny to see these people use the argument that we should not only find more evidence that would be attacked, but they forget that if there argument fails (Patty recreation) that there in the footage is a Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Hominid. Every year as the evidence rolls in and we get more and more help from reputable scientists like Sykes, and no accurate effort at a suit should materialize, you become more and more hopelessly fruitless for your efforts.

DeleteYeah. A few lonely brain cells at work there.
The JREF genius who says the BBC Packham job was "no attempt" to recreate the PGF.
Let's roll that beautiful Packham footage from that very same BBC special:
“let’s get the camera Patterson used, find an amateur operator, and recreate exactly, to the inch, the action at Bluff Creek.”
At about minute 5:00:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7UUPpN7dPU
Yes, sure, "recreate to the inch" = "no attempt to recreate." Yep. Even using the same camera Patterson used, and suppoedly hiring an "amateur operator" to run it.
You should at least be able to accurately quote and reference your own heroes, #jokeinasuit.
Tellingly, Packham does not identify the source or maker of the suit used in his attempt. He does not say the one he used is "off the peg". He says IF the PGF shows an "off the peg" suit. It's interesting that Packham conceals the source and maker of the suit he used, which resulted in his comedic strutting orange stick man film.
It's possible the suit was made and provided by Jon Vulich's studio. Packham also conveniently films his subject from much futher away than did Patterson, to avoid any pesky lack of moving musculature and mass of strutting orange stick man, both traits which Patty exhibits.
This #jokeinasuit is so far the top nominee for BFE's 2014 Golden Idiot Statuette.
