Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries and all sorts of weirdness. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today’s dark Enigma….
And on today’s Dark enigma well, today’s story is another listener suggestion, but when I read it, I totally read it with a Scottish accent – don’t worry I won’t punish you by trying to do the accent! But, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Grey that will be a single shot and every time I say mountain, that will be a double shot. Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… so don… your best Scottish Kilt and grab some fine Whiskey and play a tune on some bag pipes as we jump into today’s story and The Mysterious Grey Man of Ben Macdui and I’m going to try the Gallic so brace yourself… Am Fear Liath Mòr – yeah I know, I may be pale enough to be Scottish, but that’s where it ends.
Am Fear Liath Mòr is the Scottish Gaelic name given to a being said to haunt the upper slopes of Ben Macdui, the highest mountain the Cairngorms range in the East Highlands of Scotland and second tallest mountain in the British Isles. Mountaineers have reported encounters with a creature that haunts the bleak summit of the mountain for over 100 years, although there is still little consensus as to what it looks like, or even if it has a corporeal form. Thick fog is common high in the Cairngorms, frequently obscuring the creature from the view of climbers that sense its strange presence.
