    The Big Grey Giant Man of Ben Macdhui Cairngorm Grampian Ghost Story

    - History And Sightings On The Cairngorm Mountains.


    Ben Macdhui is the second highest mountain in Scotland, standing at 4,296 feet, and is haunted by a giant man. Its Gaelic name is Am Fear Liath Mor.






    The presence of the Giant was first felt in 1890 by Professor John Norman Collie, though he did not publicly tell his story until 1925 at the annual dinner of the Cairngorm Club where he was the honorary president. He did not see the ghost, but heard frightening crunching footsteps approach him. This was enough to terrify him to never return to the Grampian mountain alone, even though he was an experienced climber.



    Other climbers have heard the terrifying footsteps and crunching sounds and one army climber saw a strange image charge at him. He fired shots at the image, but nothing was found.



    The extreme weather conditions on the mountains are thought by some to cause the strange phenomena.



    It is thought that the Giant may be similar to something that haunts Creag-an-aibhse (The Rock of the Ghost) near Braemar that comes out after sunset and disappears at sunrise. It appears as a large, black, shapeless image which cries out and throws stones and rolls large boulders.
