As they are generated by the observer's shadow, Brocken Spectre appear to follow you as you move, and may be the basis for many myths, including the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui and the Yeti.

The shadowy figure in the middle is called Brocken Spectre and it occurs when your shadow is projected onto cloud lying below you on a mountain. The circles of colour are known as a glory, and these are often, but not always, associated with Brocken Spectre.

Today I had planned to catch the sunrise, but I ended up seeing something far rarer: a Brocken spectre. This divine phenomenon only occurs in quite specific atmospheric conditions.
