A very interesting and informative look at the Scottish Yeti type thing. I live the way the writer stays totally neutral throughout, just reporting the facts and letting you make decisions for yourself. Now want to go to Scotland exploring!

I had wanted to read this book for many years abd am glad that I finally got around to it!

The author goes into detail about the many sightings and feelings of a mystical body, but just on this mountain, but also in the surrounding area. These range from actual sightings to general feelings of unease in the environment.

Iparticularly liked that the author lays out accounts, correspondance and explanations (for example, a Bodhisattva) but leaves the reader free to draw their own conclusions.

My only similar experience was feeling a rush of air pass me when sleeping at Bearnais bothy.
