		<description>Went for my last training run before this years mont blanc marathon in the cairngorms, from Glenmore lodge to Ben Mcdhui, via cairngorm(for those who know the area) and did experience something of note heading towards the summit of Ben Mcdhui, maybe bout half mile from summit, go a bit disorientated, and felt as though Id lost my sense of direction, even though I was still aware that I was heading south to the summit of Ben Mcdhui, also felt as if Id entered a place where time had no meaning, it only lasted for about a minute and only over a distance of about 200-300 metres, then experienced the same thing again heading back from the summit towards Cairngorm in the exact same place and for the same short time period and distance. Didnt find it disturbing in any particular way, but what I experienced at a greater intensity could be very disturbing and when it happened I just thought, well this must be this big grey man thing I&#039;ve heard about. Feel quite priveledged to have encountered it really. Personally I think its probably just something thats induced by the earths magnetic field. The cairngorms is a very unusal environment, all that hard granite, the highest peaks and deepest mountain pass in Britain, the Lairig Ghru, could just be a weird magnetic field that exists on Ben Mcdhui due to the geography of the area. magnetism and changes in it will of course affect our brains, as a result,some people experience the big grey man, but I&#039;m open to other ideas</description>

		<description>Surely this is the same phenomena  that &#039;haunts&#039; the alps, known as the Brocken.It is a natural occurrence, caused by certain atmospheric conditions. A mixture of water droplets,or ice crystals, sun and fog, which often acts as a giant magnifying glass,this  can throw a person&#039;s shadow from one mountain peak to another which looks like a gigantic figure of monstrous proportions.  
It is rather like the effect of sun dogs.</description>

		<description>Well, alanborky. I&#039;m a Muslim, and I could tell you a few things about the Islamic beliefs concerning the jinn. But it might make you scared to enter your own bathroom.

Basically they exist in our realm. They see us but we can&#039;t see them - usually that is. Every now and then we are able to. They have families and even religions as we do... Well, some are &quot;believers&quot; (in Islam) and some are not. But the creepy thing is that there is likely one sitting next to you while you&#039;re reading this.

We are told to leave them alone. They are sometimes able to possess you and other nasty stuff. But like humans, some (most I like to think) are good natured, and some (few I like to think) are bad (evil?).

So if we think of Grey Man as a jinn type being, all I&#039;m really trying to say is that you don&#039;t need to climb a mountain in Scotland to see one. There right in your house.

*The reason why I mentioned bathroom specifically earlier, is because, since they can see us, they might want some distance. So if they&#039;re in your house, they will be in the places which are least occupied by us: Basement, bathroom, attic, etc.. You know, creepy horror movie places. :)

Hope you found it interesting.</description>

		<description>The olive complexion, particularly, (not to mention the inferrentially abnormally long arms), would seem to put him in the same zoo as some of John A. Keel&#039;s menagerie of Ultraterrestials.  Like them, he would seem to be a source of highly ambiguous guidance.

For that matter, the tag &#039;Grey Man&#039; isn&#039;t that far from &#039;Man in Black&#039;.

The fur, not to mention the type of location, and the fact he seems to be a source of irrational fear clearly associates him with the god Pan, (the derivational source of the term &#039;panic&#039;), as does the strange &#039;song&#039; - but then, Keel&#039;d class Pan as just another Ultraterrestial.

Going purely by personal experience, I&#039;d have to say Ultraterrestials do exist, (they seem to be what The Koran refers to as Jinn - our &#039;genies&#039;).

Most of them, like the Grey Man, seem to be one trick ponies which literally live off energy they derive from inducing negative emotions in humans.</description>

		<description>You missed out the best ever story of the Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. He is said to approach climbers who have found themselves lost in the dense mountain fog. He stares at them in an intense, hypnotic fashion, beckoning with his long, spindly hand and uttering the soothing words, &quot;come...come&quot; over and over again. The lost climber becomes so entranced with the ghostly grey vision with the calming voice that he obeys the instruction, believing that he is being led to safety, only to be led over a cliff to a plummeting, horrendous death. It&#039;s true.</description>

		<description>The Grey Man is also known for at least one other thing: inspiring thoughts of suicide. Details are in the book Colin Wilson wrote with his son about unexplained mysteries.</description>
