GSY Dep. of Mysteries - The Blackpool Yetis

The yetis who live there love their Tower hidey-hole! When the last caretaker turns his key at the end of the night the yetis slip out from their hiding place under the tower’s wooden circus ring and turn on the glitter ball in the ballroom; dancing the hours away until most of the humans in Blackpool have tired themselves out and gone to bed.

The yetis take turns to keep watch through a special viewing window at the top of the tower for the perfect time to sneak out. They love the Blackpool streets full of glittering lights, and since the illuminations were first switched on, the yetis have always looked after them – checking the bulbs and repairing any loose wires.

The humans who look after the light displays during the day scratch their heads. The illuminations seem magical … not just in their amazing appearance, but because the bulbs seem to last for ever!

All sorts of engineers have visited Blackpool to try to understand why the bulbs seem to never to flicker or go out. They’ve come up with many ideas and theories and as strange and unusual as their ideas may be, they’d never guess it was yetis!!
