8 Mythical Creatures Recently Spotted In Real Life

3. The Yeti - Pyrenees, Spain (2016)

Second only to a catastrophic avalanche or possibly food poisoning, the one thing you don't want to come across on your holiday to a remote log cabin up a mountain is a Yeti. Said to walk 6ft tall and with the power to tear most men in two, the creatures have been alleged to inhabit areas of dense forrest across the world.

The most recent sighting comes from the Pyrenees mountains on the French/Spanish border. Taking the video on his mobile phone, the unnamed man captured several uninterrupted seconds of the creature moving between the tree-line before posting to social media to ask what it was.

Naturally, the post sparked a huge furore (and minor panic), with a spokesman for the Aramon Ski Resort where the sighting occurred publicly stating that a full search of the surrounding area was underway, to reassure residents and holiday-makers that there was nothing to worry about. Investigation of the area remains ongoing.
