The Mande Burung, "Forest Man" of the Garo Hills rainforests in Meghalaya, Northeast India. [Excerpts from an expedition.]
“If ever there was terrain where a peace-loving yeti could live its life undisturbed by human interference, then this has surely got to be it. Perhaps the most famous reported sighting was in April 2002, when forestry officer James Marak was among a team of 14 officials carrying out a census of tigers in Balpakram when they saw what they thought was a yeti.”
—BBC journalist Alistair Lawson, in 2008, impressed by the remote, undisturbed rainforest landscape of the Garo Hills
In 2010, Richard Freeman, autor and researcher, joined an expedition to investigate folk tales and reports of a large bipedal beast in the forests of the Garo Hills of Meghalaya in Northeastern India. What he found was a consistent description of an enormous black skinned apelike creature, standing from 9 feet to over 10 feet high, with footprints regularly measuring 18 inches.
Some of the encounters reported describe scenes of sleeping in nests made of pulled down branches, and a mother suckling its young. Freeman concluded the expedition being convinced that a yet discovered large bipedal primate, closely resembling Gigantopithecus Blacki, did in fact still exist in South Asia, from where it was said to have gone extinct some 200,000 years ago.
