A Yeti from Minnesota was found in ice in the 60s of the XX century, after which it was sent as an exhibit on tour to various fairs and carnivals organized by the state.
Found in ice, it is identified as a male creature, with large arms, one of which is damaged) and legs, a flat nose and a gouged out eye. This specimen is considered one of the most impressive finds in the field of zoology.
To find out if this is a real exhibit, two cryptozoologists, Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Gevelmann, conducted a three-day examination. Despite the fact that the creature was in a piece of ice, in places where it thawed, the carcass began to decompose and rot, in some places blood was visible, it seemed that it was fresh. The doctors, having carefully examined the find, confirmed its authenticity. Later, Mr. Gevelmann created a scientific work on Bigfoot, defining the exhibit as a new species of Neanderthals. It was published in the Belgian edition of the Institute of Natural Sciences. And Mr. Sanderson has published another treatise in Argos magazine called The Living Fossil. This work also aroused genuine interest and both cryptozoologists were invited to television for interviews.
An article by Mr. Hansen.
One of the research institutes was very interested in the found creature and asked for access to the body in order to investigate it. After some time, the object was no longer taken out on the "tour", and according to rumors, it was returned to the owner. It was also believed that Hansen destroyed it, until the story was continued in 2013.
After the body was no longer shown, someone decided to capitalize on it by creating a "copy" that did not look much like the original, and continued touring with an artificial body. In 2013, it was even put up for auction for $ 20,000 on eBay.

In the summer of the same year, the exhibit was acquired by the owner of the Museum of the Supernatural (Texas) Steve Basti.
Steve said that he studied the Yeti from Minnesota for two years, tracking his movements since the time he was no longer displayed in public. It was possible to find out that the body is still stored in Hansen's freezer, and it has not been destroyed. But why they stopped showing it remains a mystery.
