Sometimes we have to step away from trivial subjects like politics and ponder the weightier topics facing mankind, like whether there’s a yeti in Poland dogging the ladies.

A teenager has added fresh rumour to the yeti debate after claiming the beast spied on her in her bikini as she paddled in a river.

Justyna Folger was having a dip during a camping trip when a shadowy creature appeared on the opposite bank.

‘At first I thought it was a bear but it appeared to be stooping and then it raised itself on to two legs and ran off. I couldn’t believe it,’ said Miss Folger, 19.

Full disclosure: none of the Poles mentioned in this article are relatives of mine, although the thing in the video does bear a striking resemblance to my uncle Grzegorz. Imagine that in a Speedo and you will understand why I avoid family vacations.

Na zdrowie.
