Irish Folklore
The Far Liath
The Far Liath, often called the Grey Man, is the fairy personification of fog. He delights in causing confusion, covering both the land and sea with his opaque cloak to hide rock formations so that ships smash into them, and to obscure the road so that travelers tumble over cliffs. Cruel and malicious, the Grey Man often casts his illusions in the higher altitudes and mountain paths, or blankets coastal lighthouses to cause as much mayhem as he can.
