Researchers believe that they may be a very primitive species of human. Almasti/Almas/Almasty have been reported across a huge swathe of central Asia, from the Caucasus mountains in the west to China in the east. The almasty, however, appears to be far more human than any of the other creatures described herein. Described as a huge ape-like creature with dark fur (white yetis are only seen in cartoons) it is probably the best known real monster in the world. Also known as the Abominable Snowman (a misnomer because it is not abominable, nor is it a man, and very rarely strays beyond the snowline) the yeti is a collective term for one of two or three different animals reported in the foothills of the Himalayas and surrounding areas. Two superficially very similar, but very different monsters. A 19th century clergyman described ".a mysterious dreaded sort of animal, …believed to live in graveyards, burrowing among the dead bodies and devouring them." Believe it or not, this terrier sized animal has been reported in remote Scottish graveyards until the present day.
