Bigfoot Meat Cures Mental Illness

Bigfoot Meat Cures Mental Illness: In the 1950s a Czech anthropologist began work on an old book found in the library of the Gandian Monastery in what is now Vlan Bantor, [as of 1983] the capital of the Mongolian People's Republic. This book was published in the late 1700s and contained a systematic discussion of all the wild animals of Mongolia. It contained an unmistakable drawing of an Alma - the Mongolian Bigfoot. The creature is standing on a rock with one hand stretched toward the sky. He is covered with hair except for his hands and feet. It was done in the stylzed fashion of the time and did not look very realistic. A more recent edition of the same book has come to light, and the drawing is without most of the hair. The Tibetan text next to the drawing states that the wild man lives in the mountains, his origins are close to that of a bear - whatever that means- and he has enormous power. It advises that his meat may be eaten to treat mental disease and his gall bladder eaten to cure jaundice.
     Nickerson's Note: I hope superstitious Asians do not read this. Their superstitions about bear gall bladders are causing bear to be slaughtered. Not Bigfoot too!  The Alma is the most friendly of the Bigfoot. There are stories of isolated herders trading with them and even having them into their homes for meals. More modern stories tell of Alma children dancing a jig in front of human children trying to entice them to do the same ( the human children ran home) and sticking their tongues out at human children. The Alma drawing in the old book about Mongolian wildlife may have had his arm raised trying to attract the attention of humans. This was not a fanciful collection of wildlife drawings. All the other drawings were of existing wild animals meaning that the Mongols, just like the Sherpa and so many other native people around the world, knew the Bigfoot existed.

The above, excluding Nickerson's Note, came from the well-known British anthropologist Myra Shackley and is found in her book "Still Living?" pages 94-95. I hope you have enjoyed your daily Bigfoot story. If you find yourself not being able to talk about your Bigfoot sighting for fear of disdain, please feel free to call me. You can find blocking instructions on the net so that your number will not appear on my cell phone if you wish. I haven't seen Bigfoot yet, but I've read and heard thousands of sightings.
