Did I Encounter 'THE BIG GREY MAN' of Ben MacDui?'

"I had my encounter on a different mountain in the Cairngorms, and in deep woodland, but I'm convinced it was the same thing."

I received the following account:

"I grew up in Scotland and was very outdoorsy as a kid and through my teens. I'd spend a lot of time alone in woods and on mountains just wandering around, and around 2012 or so I had an encounter with what's termed Am Fear Liath Mor (pron. Am Fer Leeyuh More), which literally means 'The Big Grey Man.'

If you look at the Wikipedia page for this cryptid you'll see it's encountered on Ben MacDui, a fairly remote mountain (and second highest in the UK) in the Cairngorms. I had my encounter on a different mountain, and in deep woodland, but I'm convinced it was the same thing.

I was in thick spruce woodland, in a very uninteresting place in the middle of nowhere really. It was around 7 or 8 pm, and nice enough weather, and I was on my own. Suddenly from nowhere, I heard a sound that at first I thought was a swarm of bees, extremely loud and not from any particular direction. Then I listened to it more, and even at the time I remember likening it to the whirring sound a bicycle wheel can make at high speed, but incredibly intense. And along with all of this was the sensation of some great unseen presence moving past. So intense in fact was the sound and the feeling/pressure of this unseen thing, that I found I literally couldn't move. I've no idea how long it lasted, probably no more than a minute or two, and then it passed and all was silent again.

Now I had read about the Fear Liath before this point, but only in very general terms while looking into local folklore and monsters of the world and the like. It wasn't until years later I looked at more in-depth (and/or delusional) websites about this kind of thing that I found out it's often accompanied by a buzzing sound. Common enough in fact that the sound even has a name - 'The Singing.'

I don't think what I experienced was any kind of actual entity, probably some kind of aural hallucination brought on by the solitude and maybe the wind affecting some kind of infrasound effect? I don't know nearly enough about it, but it seems the most likely explanation." F

NOTE: Here is a previous encounter report that includes the history of the phenomenon. The 'bee buzzing sound,' from my past experiences usually indicates a portal opening or closing. I've encountered this phenomenon in various investigations and remote view sessions. Lon

THIN, WHITE, HAIRLESS HUMAN-LIKE BIPED Seen at Texas/Oklahoma Border

"When they got closer the creature stood up on two legs, turned and looked at them, and then ran off into the brush. They described it as a thin, white, hairless human-like being."

I received the following account:

"Hello, Sir. I have not seen or encountered any humanoids (or whatever you call them) but I have heard stories about sightings.

About a dozen years ago my cousins were heading back home from a casino in Oklahoma. They hadn’t been drinking or anything like that, however it was late at night. They came up to the inspection of Oklahoma Highway 183 at the Texas border to turn and get on Highway 287 to Vernon Texas.

As they were approaching the intersection they noticed an animal-like creature crouched in the bar ditch. When they got closer the creature stood up on two legs, turned and looked at them, and then ran off into the brush. They described it as a white, hairless human-like being. My cousin would get goosebumps and tear up when she told the story.

My mother-in-law has a similar story that happened about 20 years ago. She was driving a charter bus for the elderly, bringing them back from a trip to New Mexico. So she had about six elderly ladies with her. She was on a back road just right at dawn, when one of the ladies said “What is that?” And sure enough when they got closer (they thought it was a deer, coyote, etc) it stood up on two legs like a human and ran off into the woods. My mother-in-law and two other ladies saw it. She said she definitely didn’t do the speed limit the rest of the way home. This was in a very rural area around Daugherty, Texas." G

LOST TIME After Witnessing a Saucer-Shaped UFO Near Boston, MA

"The next thing I remember is being back in the kitchen finishing up cooking. I don't remember anything regarding when I stopped looking at it or when I reentered the house."

I received the following account:

"I've only told this story to a few people because the few times I have told it, no one believes me, and it's pointless to tell if people think you're making it up. It was witnessed by not only myself (17 years old at the time) but also my mother (40s at the time) brother (around 14) and sister (11) as well as several neighbors on the street.

We lived in a house on a large hill in a suburb just north of Boston. At the bottom of the hill was a three-story apartment complex. To the side of the complex was a large park with a few baseball fields on the left and a Walgreens on the right.

I was inside cooking grilled chicken as I had just gotten home from wrestling practice and my mother opened the front door having just returned from grocery shopping with my siblings and she was yelling for me to come outside quickly. When I eventually get outside on the porch they are all standing there staring up but in the direction of the bottom of the hill. As I look I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Hovering over the apartment complex maybe 100 feet or less above the roof is your stereotypical flying saucer shape. So close I could make out each individual metallic panel making up the sides of the saucer and where they joined to the next as well as the circular lights on it. Again this is broad daylight right before it started getting dark. We all just stared at it for a while, I noticed some neighbors staring as well. I attempted to take a photo, but it only captured a white blur.

The next thing I remember is being back in the kitchen finishing up cooking. I don't remember anything regarding when I stopped looking at it or when I reentered the house. To this day no one besides myself really mentions it and when I do they don't remember much else either besides looking at it and don't know what to make of it.

This is one of those things that has bothered me my whole life since then (I'm now 32) and I will probably never know what was in it or what it was doing." H

WENDIGO? NOT DEER? ANTLERMAN? What Did These Eastern Washington Witnesses Observe? (DRAWING)

"It was a tall slender figure, 8-10 feet tall, with very long arms and legs, with a hunched back and oblong head. It had antlers. It was mostly dark gray in color with no fur at all."

I recently received the following information:

"Hi. Thanks for reading. I know I’ll sound crazy but I swear this is real. This occurred in December 2024 between Christmas and New Year. My best friend and I hung out at her house for most of that day. I’m very close with her parents. I have a slightly strict mom and my curfew is 9:30 PM. It’s about 12 minutes from my house to my friend's house, and my house is in a very rural neighborhood with every house a hundred yards apart or so. I live in Eastern Washington, and there are not many trees near my house. The closest trees are about a quarter mile away so it’s not very forested except for other areas of the town. The road my house is on is paved, but there’s a gravel road about half a mile long connecting my home road and the highway.

It was 8:25 (I remember looking at the time) when we turned onto the gravel road, my friend and I in the back of her car and her mom driving. We had to go slow since the road was rough. There are a couple houses on the left side of the road with a big pasture on the other side. It’s so hard to even believe what the hell just happened to me. 'IT' was halfway down the road, and a large figure darted right in front of the car. I didn’t know anything about Wendigo until that night when I started to do research.

What we saw was a tall slender figure 8-10 feet tall, with very long arms and legs, with a hunched back and oblong head. It had antlers. It was mostly dark gray in color with no fur at all. I’m shaking in my bedroom writing this right now because this was less than a mile from where I am at this moment. All three of us, my best friend, her mom and I saw the creature. It was not something of this world. It shouldn’t exist. I have always been a skeptic, and I was never convinced cryptids of any kind were real until I saw that furless figure almost leap across the road. I'm still completely terrified. My mom wouldn't take me seriously and my younger siblings are terrified.

I’ve attached an image I found on Google that almost perfectly shows what we all saw. I promise you all that this is not some creepypasta or made-up story. This is real and I’m still genuinely scared for my life. What we saw made me question reality itself and what we as a society believe in. I’ve read a couple articles about these creatures and I’m nothing short of horrified.

I don’t know if you have advice or just think I’m crazy. Is there anything I can do to protect myself from this? According to Native American legend, their only weakness is fire, but maybe I’m wrong. My mom thinks I’m crazy, so there are not many options for me. I swear I’m not crazy." T

NOTE: The witness is a minor female (late teens). I normally refrain from corresponding with minors unless their parent(s) are aware of the situation. Apparently, the witness's mother refused to believe her. That being stated, what are your thoughts on the sighting? Wendigo lore comes in various forms, but this sighting seems to be more of the 'Not Deer' and/or 'Antlerman' variety. Lon
