The Encounter

Pembbeorgi is a Nepalese sherpa who climbed Mount Everest twice. In 2004, he saw shadowy figures while resting. These figures appeared to be black shadows reaching out for help. He thought they might be spirits of climbers who had died on the mountain. In 2009, Mohan Singh, a local villager, encountered a ghost while collecting wood. The ghost changed size and seemed to attack him. After the encounter, Mohan felt ill and believed he was possessed until a priest performed an exorcism. Many climbers report seeing helpful spirits on Everest. Some believe these spirits guide and protect them. Overall, these experiences have led to a belief in supernatural phenomena surrounding Mount Everest.
