spectre sighting on Mt Raineer

[easyrider]

These pictures seem really odd. I have been up in that area many times and have seen odd shapes through the mist, fog or rain, but I never saw this.

The Brocken Spectre is your own shadow, cast on mists below you, when you are mountain climbing. The shadow may appear enormous and has a ring around it.

Sounds like you can take some fun pictures of your shadow if the conditions are right.

A friend of mine, who is a Federal Forest Law Enforcement Agent, occasionally stops by our cabin near Mt Rainier . Some of the things he has seen and some of the reports he has taken are very odd. Even though weed is legal in Washington State, he has to uphold Federal Law so I just had to ask, are these people stoned ? Unbelievably to me, most pot smokers do not try to communicate with a law person, purposely. He says that most were visibly shaken up and that most are prominent individuals that make these reports. He has never seen anything cool except wildlife.

After looking at Kurts link (thanks dude ) it might be that some of these reports are shadows and shapes creating spectres combined with a bit of apprehension and not big foot. Big Foot gets reported by some hiker almost every year around Mt Rainier And Mt Adams. This might also explain some of the UFO sightings.

Im up there often and all I ever see is wildlife. Go Figure.
