It seems that there is a shortage of male Bigfoot in Russia (Known to locals as the Almasty), and the females of the species have been looking for human companions. In the town of Elbrus, in Northern Caucasus, residents have reported an unusual number of sightings of the creature, most of them encounters with females, mostly by men, who have hinted at flirtation.
In the remote settlement it is a very common occurrence to see the large mythical creature in, and around, the town itself. It is reported that every resident has seen the legendary Almasty at least once in their lifetime.
"There are many deserted barns over there with boulders and woods around. They most often spot the Almasty there. They come to town from there," local resident Adelgery Tilov said.
It is also common for the towns male population to get "friendly" with the female Almasty, something that the local women have come to accept.
"A yeti female looks like a gorilla, of course, but she can definitely temp a man," one of the elders, Kazi Khajiyev said. "The Almasty can bewitch a man. They say that a man, whom a wild woman tries to seduce, sees not the hairy ape-like creature, but the woman that he wants to see. It is something like hypnosis," the man said.
Despite the numerous encounters with the creatures, the local residents still harbor some fear of them, and generally try to avoid confrontations.
"A wild human being is a human being, that is why we try to get along with them. My grandfather used to tell me that the Almasty have always lived here. They increased their population after the Balkars deserted their villages. The Almasty took their homes, that's why they let humans see them so often nowadays," Adilgery Tilov said.
Adilgery also spoke about a recent encounter that he had that proves that even Almasty females are suckers for romance by the fire.
"I had to go to a neighboring village one summer day. I was supposed to stay there for a night so I accommodated myself in a deserted barn. I made a fire near the barn and fell asleep. I opened my eyes very early in the morning and saw someone sitting by the fire. A female yeti was giving me a very thoughtful look. She was not tall, a bit more than one meter in height. She was black and her fur was all messy. I was scared to death, and was lying there still, thinking what she was going to do next. She stayed there for about ten more minutes, got up and vanished in the woods," the man said.
This, however, is not the first report of an Almasty-Human "relationship" to come out of the former Soviet Union:
"A wildwoman named Zana is said to have lived in the isolated mountain village of T'khina fifty miles from Sukhumi in Abkhazia in the Caucasus; some have speculated she may have been an Almasty, but hard evidence is lacking."
"
"Captured in the mountains in 1850, she was at first violent towards her captors but soon became domesticated and, indeed, was able to assist with simple household chores. Zana is said to have had sexual relations with a man of the village named Edgi Genaba, and gave birth to a number of children of apparently normal human appearance. Several of these children, however, died in infancy. Some commentators have attributed these early deaths to Zana's genetic incompatibility (as an Almas) with humans."
"
"The father, meanwhile, gave away four of the surviving children to local families. The two boys, Dzhanda and Khwit Sabekia (born 1878 and 1884), and the two girls, Kodzhanar and Gamasa Sabekia (born 1880 and 1882), were assimilated into normal society, married, and had families of their own. Zana herself died in 1890. The skull of Khwit (also spelled Kvit) is still extant, and was examined by Dr. Grover Krantz in the early 1990s. He pronounced it to be entirely modern, with no Neanderthal features at all. Khwit's tooth was examined in 2008 as part of the Monster Quest tv show. Genetics tests were unable to definitely show Khwit's parentage, but tests will continue."
It is unknown if these legendary Almasty are "wild and primitive" humans or creatures more like the Bigfoot or the Yeti? Regardless, it seems that Russian men have had a fetish for them for centuries.
Russian women aren't that unattractive are they? Every one that I have seen looked pretty exotic.
I guess when you get a taste of the Neanderthal it never goes away?
