For centuries, men of the mountains - hunters, shepherds, climbers - have told stories of the large creatures who live out there in the mists and silence. Creatures like the Yeti, the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas; Sasquatch and Bigfoot in North America; the Brockengespenst in Germany and Am Fear Liath Mòr, the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. Some say that they are creatures left over from a bygone age, some that they are supernatural beings - and some say that they are but a trick of the light. This trick of the light is sometimes called a Brocken Spectre, and they can be photographed: ![](http://www.biggreyman.co.uk/img/brocken-spectre.jpg) Lairig Ghru in Scotland ![](http://home.online.no/~arnedani/astronomy/astrophoto/misc/BrockenSpectre_D60-3762.jpg) Valle del Bove in Sicily ![](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/15/20036234_5fca6e77cc_n.jpg) Y Garn in Wales It's all explained here. But that doesn't explain the crunching footsteps behind you in the frosty silence... Attachments:Ben MacDhui.kmz (779 B)
