About this episode
For generations, mountaineers on Ben Macdui have described the same impossible experience: the sound of slow, heavy footsteps behind them… but no one there. Some claim they saw a figure ten feet tall moving through the mist. Others fled down the mountain convinced something was pacing them on the plateau. Known in Gaelic as Am Fear Liath Mòr — the Big Grey Man — this phenomenon has baffled experts and terrified hikers for more than a hundred years. In this atmospheric deep dive, we explore the folklore, the eyewitness accounts, and the science behind one of Britain’s most haunting mysteries.
