For generations, mountaineers on Ben Macdui have described the same impossible experience: the sound of slow, heavy footsteps behind them… but no one there. Some claim they saw a figure ten feet tall moving through the mist. Others fled down the mountain convinced something was pacing them on the plateau. Known in Gaelic as Am Fear Liath Mòr — the Big Grey Man — this phenomenon has baffled experts and terrified hikers for more than a hundred years. In this atmospheric deep dive, we explore the folklore, the eyewitness accounts, and the science behind one of Britain’s most haunting mysteries.

When a pickup truck was found abandoned on a remote Oklahoma mountain road, its doors were unlocked, wallets untouched, and a family dog barely alive inside.

Bobby and Sherilynn Jamison, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson, were gone.

Inside the truck — $32,000 in cash, phones, IDs, and a note that hinted at despair.

For years, searchers combed the wilderness with no trace… until four years later, their remains surfaced just miles away, and with them, only more questions.

Murder, accident, or something stranger?

This is the story of the Jamison family — a modern American mystery that refuses to rest.

In 1912, four-year-old Bobby Dunbar vanished beside Louisiana’s Swayze Lake. After eight desperate months, a child was found hundreds of miles away with a travelling handyman — and the Dunbars swore he was their son.

The story became a national sensation: a miracle return, a family reunited, faith rewarded.

But ninety years later, a simple DNA test exposed one of America’s most haunting cases of mistaken identity.

This episode follows the Dunbar mystery from the muddy bayous of Opelousas to a 21st-century laboratory — uncovering a century-old lie, a mother who was never believed, and the family legend that outlived them all.
