An answer is unlikely in the foreseeable future, as the region is still largely unexplored.

Number two: The Big Grey Man of Ben Macdui in Cairngorms National Park, United Kingdom.
Steve StocktonHOST
The mountain of Ben Macdui in Scotland is allegedly inhabited by a large gray creature that many refer to simply as the Big Grey Man.
Steve StocktonHOST
The first reports of this beast were in 1925 when a member of Cairngorm Club, who are well-known peak climbers, reported his experience at the summit of the mountain.
Steve StocktonHOST
He stated that he could hear something other than merely the noise of my own footsteps when descending the mountain.
Steve StocktonHOST
"I heard a crunch," he said.
Steve StocktonHOST
"Then another crunch, as if someone was walking after me, but taking steps three or four times the length of my own." This indicates that the creature is bigger than a normal human, meaning that it's Scotland's Yeti.
Steve StocktonHOST
The Cairngorm Club member concluded that there is something queer about the top of Ben Macdui, and will not go back there again by myself.
Mark StephenHOST
Mm-hmm.
Angus TrinderGUEST
Obviously, outside of the funicular, hundreds and hundreds of people come up here every week to go hiking up to Cairngorm, beyond onto the Cairngorm Plateau towards Ben Macdui.
Angus TrinderGUEST
So yeah, a lot of the work that our team do does support all mountain users, not just folk who are coming to use the funicular.
Mark StephenHOST
You picked up a small device, about half the size of a mobile phone, back at the top station there.
RyanGUEST
A mysterious creature that is actually heard more than it's seen.
RyanGUEST
The Amphialaith Moor, otherwise known as the Big Grey Man of Ben Macdui, is a big grey man said to inhabit the Cairngorm's mountain range.
RyanGUEST
I apologise to all Gaelic speakers for what you're about to hear.
RyanGUEST
Known as An Monad Rued in Gaelic, this mountain range itself forms a part of the Grampians.
RyanGUEST
Now the Amphia Leif Moor is said to specifically inhabit the second largest mountain in the UK, Ben Macdui.
RyanGUEST
And fun fact, the Cairngorms are actually part of an international family of national parks.
RyanGUEST
Do with that information as you will.
RyanGUEST
You see the professor's encounter began when he was on his way down from the summit and he noticed something following behind him with one footstep for every three of his.
Steve StocktonHOST
To this day, there is no explanation for the mysterious goings-on in the Nahanni Valley, and answers unlikely in the foreseeable future as the region is still largely unexplored.
