Last week we reported on a mystery monster in one of Siberia's lakes. This week, they are preparing an expedition to hunt down the Abominable Snowman.
Russian Yeti expert and head of the International Centre of Hominology Igor Burtsev, tried to hunt down the beast last year. He claimed to have discovered samples of yeti hair. But as yet, no DNA analysis of the hair he supposedly found has been released.
Still, that hasn't stopped the Abominable Snowman sightings, or the hunt to find the mysterious creature, known in Australia as a Bunyip. There have been dozens of sightings in Siberia in the past few years.
Local government official Sergei Adlyakov told Trud newspaper a state inspector spotted one of the animals in Shorsky National Park.
"The creature did not look like a bear and quickly disappeared after breaking some branches of the bushes," he was quoted as saying.
But when Mr Adlyakov was asked about the sighting by the Siberian Times he said it was "private" and never meant to go public.
In August fisherman Vitaly Vershinin told another local Siberian newspaper he saw two creatures near Myski village.
"Sailing up the river I saw on the bank what I thought were two bears," he said. "They were drinking water."
"When they noticed me, they easily stood straight upright and went away... I did not wish to chase them."

"We shouted to them - do you need help?" he said.
Because that is the first thing we would all say to an Abominable Snowman.
"They just rushed away, all in fur, walking on two legs, making way through the bushes with two other limbs, straight up the hill, right there," he said.
"What did we think? It could not be bears, as the bear walks on all-fours, and they ran on two.... so then they were gone."
Maybe after the hunt in October we will all know whether the Abominable Snowman exists or if it is just the stuff of Hollywood.
I think the suppress is coming off in Russia.
That's a slang expression for when a group or country successfully pushes the psychopaths out of strategic positions in government, industry or academia and the natural creative and investigative juices of the people begin to flow more freely.
Perhaps I'm wrong and it's all part of an elaborate propaganda strategy.
But a few days ago I got a definite feeling "in my bones" that something had changed on the planet, and that the race to push the truth out ahead of the lies was on, peddle to the metal.
Because of the huge emotional investment so many of us have made in December 2012, it is critical now that the truth be given the chance it deserves. There is a LOT of intention behind this, and I'm definitely part of it.
