(3/3) leaving us with one question, was the Iceman real or an elaborate hoax? We may never know.

(2/3) Ones like Ivan Sanderson and others examined the cadaver, and they could smell the putrefaction, leading them to believe it authentic. But when the FBI became interested, the body vanished and was replaced with a fake model.

(1/3) In 1960, Minnesota man, Frank Hansen, ended up shooting a bigfoot-like creature while hunting. After years of hiding the body in his freezer, he gets the idea to tour this "ice man" as a fair attraction.

Finally, we get to add this to the paranormal library. Of course, this is quintessential reading for any fan of high strangeness. We will be taking notes from this for our future cases.
