Saruman appearing to the Three Walkers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gandalf when asked says (I think) "It certainly was not me", and if he lied it's the only time in LotR that I know of that Gandalf told a direct lie. he could have been being cagey, saying that it wasn't Gandalf the White, but I think it more likely was Saruman, looking for hobbits.

Gandalf was in the forest at some point also, and saw Treebeard, but I don't think that it was Gandalf who appeared to the three friends.
