Who or what is the Big Grey Man of Ben Macdui?

It is almost 100 years since Prof John Norman Collie told of encountering a terrifying presence on a Scottish mountain that would become known as the Big Grey Man.

What makes even experienced mountaineers abandon their climbs and run for their lives down dangerous slopes?
