Yeti


I had the good fortune to serve in almsot all of Pakistan's Northern Areas.There I found strange legends in local people.The one that interested me the most was about the abominable Snowman or Yeti.Locally in Chitral the apeman is known as Barmanu.Locals told me that it was found in great numbers in Wakhan Corridor and is taken for granted like any other wild animal.Many had encounters with it.Then again there are reported sightings of other legendary animals and fairies like snow tigers and demons.There is that buxom fairy too which preys on unwary travellers in the dark.Its feet are typically pointed backwards like its counterparts in Punjab.
