Freeman-Attwood's Alma Prints

The Legend:
On June 12, 1992, at 4:00 a.m., Julian Freeman-Attwood and two other men camped in a totally isolated spot on a remote glacier in Mongolia. A couple of hours later the men discovered the snow outside their tent disturbed by a trail of heavy footprints that went past them. According to Jenny Randles in Strange & Unexplained Mysteries of the 20th Century, the prints showed a close resemblance to those photographed by Eric Shipton during an expedition in the Himilayas in 1951 (see The Shipton Photograph), and that the depth of the impressions indicated a creature larger and heavier than a human. She further states that these prints were recorded on film.
