BLUE 'SWIMMING HUMANOIDS' Encountered by Outdoorsmen Canoeing Near Shiant Isles, Outer Hebrides

A Scottish outdoorsman and former armed services member recalls encountering 'swimming humanoids' while canoeing near the Shiant Isles, Outer Hebrides. Were these mermaids or mermen?

I received the following account:

“Many years ago, myself and my brother spent several weeks canoeing and hiking through the Hebrides. We saw a collection of humanoid animals swimming around and resting on the coast of the Shiant Isles. Neither of us really told anyone as to who'd believe us?

Ultimately, we realized that there are experiences in life that can't be believed without seeing them firsthand. [They were] a dark colour all over - blue-ish. Longer than the average human and more like a shark; lean and almost rubbery to touch. The head and neck were less pounced and distinct, arms were shorter and webbed from the body to the arm. Had a full-on tail too, but narrow and more pointed.

Most people wouldn't believe me, yet I've spent many years since leaving the armed forces in search and rescue in Scotland. Mountaineering across Europe, civilian caving and survival courses all over the U.K. Qualified diver and have canoed around the islands of the west coast of Scotland.

Those creatures weren't the only anomalous situations; myself and several soldiers were 'stalked' across the Black Mountains in Wales for 3 days. How anyone managed to follow us without being discovered, still has me confused. We found tracks and could literally see them at night. They just vanished each night!

So I spoke to my brother about the incident on the Shiant Isles yesterday. He recalled being absolutely terrified at the time and even admitted to crying that night when we went to sleep due to feeling so completely helpless and just creeped out knowing there were unknown animals nearby. To this day, he's very wary of large bodies of natural water. Now my brother is 6'10" and weighed about 120 kg at the time and has played Rugby since we were children; he's big and powerful. (I actually felt really safe with him, yet very protective as I'm the eldest) 

After this conversation yesterday, I was quite annoyed that he felt like this and I wasn't aware; I was oblivious to him and really should have stayed awake in case anything untoward happened. Hindsight is a fantastic burden at times. You know what came to mind; the 'Ningen' from Japanese mythology. White humanoids are said to inhabit the seas around Antarctica. Me and my brother are going back to Shiant and the Hebrides next summer. If we encounter anything, I'll absolutely update this post." H

NOTE: There is a legend of the Blue Men of Minch on the Shiant Isles. Is this what the witnesses observed? Lon

A near-death experience (NDE) is an extreme personal experience associated with death or impending death. The great majority of these experiences are positive and may encompass detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, joy, review of major life events, the presence of light, and seeing dead relatives. When negative, such experiences may include sensations of anguish, distress, a void, devastation, and seeing frightening scenes.

I also associate the presence of the Angel of Death, as in the Islamic tradition, as a near-death event. The archangel Azrael, metaphorically, separates souls from their bodies using a scythe or sword. Many Judeo-Christian believers know the Angel of Death as the Grim Reaper, which was inspired by the high number of deaths attributed to the Black Death plagues in 14th-century Europe and Asia.

I have combined both death-related phenomena into this presentation since each offers a reflection of our future, and how it may affect our remaining life.

Please feel free to comment on the accounts and let me know your opinions.
