Dark watchers have been witnessed by people looking up at the top of the Santa Lucia Range at sunset. In the olden days, when the Spaniards reached the Santa Lucia Range in 1700, there was a record that they 'witnessed a dark watcher.'
In his short story 'Flight,' published in 1938, John Steinbeck , known as the 'master of American literature,' said, 'No one knows who the watcher is and where he lives. You shouldn't show any interest. '

However, according to Live Science, the dark watcher is just a simple physical phenomenon called the 'Brocken specter'. The top of the Santa Lucia Range is surrounded by thick fog, which reflects the shadow of the 'dark watcher witness' himself, which looks like the shadow of a giant person, Live Science explains. ..
In addition, one of the factors that dark watchers are witnessed is the psychological phenomenon 'Pareidolia, ' which reminds us of things that do not originally exist, such as 'a rabbit can be seen on the moon' and 'a stain on the wall looks like a human being.' Because I know the information of the dark watcher that 'a huge person wearing a hat and a cloak', I can see 'a huge person wearing a hat and a cloak' even though I can see my shadow. Live Science points out that it is an illusion.
In addition, the Brocken specter is a phenomenon that occurs outside the Santa Lucia Range, and on Instagram, there are pictures of people in the snow field ...
