(Julia Hollingsworth) For centuries, humans have been searching for the Yeti — and now, in an unceremonious tweet, the Indian Army is claiming to have found evidence of the mythical Himalayan monster. On Tuesday, the official, verified Twitter account of the Indian Army’s Additional Directorate General of Public Information tweeted a picture of what it claimed were Yeti tracks in the snow.

“For the first time, an Indian Army mountaineering expedition team has sited (sic) mysterious footprints of mythical beast Yeti,” read the post, which was accompanied by three pictures of footprints, and a group photo that appeared to be of the expedition group.

The prints allegedly measured 32 inches by 15 inches (81 centimeters by 38 centimeters) and were spotted on April 9 close to Makalu Base Camp, an isolated mountainous area between Nepal and Tibet, the tweet elaborated. “This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past,” the post claimed.
Unsurprisingly, the tweet prompted a flurry of incredulous responses on social media, with many rebuking the Indian military for propagating theories previously debunked by science. Others poked fun at the tweet, with the hashtag #Yeti becoming one of the top Twitter trending topics in India on Tuesday.
The Indian Army provided no further evidence of its find and had not replied to CNN’s request for comment by time of publication.
In a press release on March 26, the Indian Army said an 18-strong unit would make its its maiden expedition to Mount Makalu between March and May. The unit was heading there as part of its objective of reaching the summit of all challenging peaks above 8,000 meters (26,247 feet), the statement said.
In Nepali folklore the Yeti — dubbed the “Abominable Snowman” in the West — is a furry ape-like creature taller than an average human, which inhabits the Himalayas and other regions.

Their existence has been never been proven, but they have captured the imagination of many, including acclaimed British naturalist Sir David Attenborough.
The Indian Army doesn’t usually venture into matters of mysterious monsters — many of its tweets are more mundane, about former army members or public events.
While the latest claim has aroused excitement among Yeti-lovers on social media, it is at odds with scientific findings.
A 2017 study on the Himalayan “Yeti” used mitochondrial DNA sequencing to examine 24 “Yeti” samples including hair, bone, skin and feces. Charlotte Lindqvist and her team discovered that some of the items came from a Himalayan brown bear and a black bear. One tooth was from an animal in the dog family. The paw of the “Yeti” kept in a local monastery came from a black bear. Another bone kept as a monastic relic was from a Tibetan brown bear.
Other investigations reached similar conclusions. A study in 2014 found 30 hair samples believed to come from Yetis had actually originated from a variety of beasts such as a Paleolithic polar bear, other types of bear and dogs.
Kushal Prajapati, who describes himself as a scientist in his Twitter bio, responded to the Indian Army’s tweet on Tuesday, saying: “With all due respect, institutions such as yours should be more responsible and careful before going ahead and declaring the sighting of any footprints as ‘Yeti’s’!”
He added that there was a lot of research done on Yeti in the past, and none had proved the creature’s existence.
The Yeti became part of local traditions about 350 years ago, when a holy man named Sangwa Dorje took up residence in a cave near the remote village of Pangboche, which had a clear view of Everest. According to local folklore, he was said to have been aided by Yetis and to have kept relics from the beasts.
Yeti fever took off in the West after British explorer Eric Shipton snapped a picture west of Mount Everest in 1951 of what appeared to be a large primate-like footprint.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The preceding information discusses strange paranormal occurrences. These mysterious events are hard to prove, as many are anecdotal in nature—lacking empirical scientific measurement. While measuring things is important because it enhances our capacity to share the objective reality of phenomena with others, the absence of measurement isn’t proof of non-existence. Many things exist in our reality that we can’t measure, yet. As such, contemplating the paranormal is an excellent exercise in expanding one’s thinking beyond only the material. Mastery of contemplation in this regard imparts the ability to see and navigate abstract realities, such as the emotional, lawful, spiritual, and philosophic realms. Learning this skill is vitally important so as to develop self-mastery and true sovereignty consciousness, the quality of which is capable of acting as a custodian for an enlightened society.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.
