AJ (The Y-Files): 本期节目探讨了圣卢西亚山脉中长期流传的"黑暗观察者"传说。目击者描述称,这些神秘生物通常在黄昏时分出现,身材高大,面容模糊,凝视太久便会消失。传说可以追溯到18世纪初的西班牙殖民者,他们称之为"Los Vigilantes Oscuros"。从原住民到现代徒步旅行者,许多人都曾有过被注视的不安感觉。一些目击者描述了与"黑暗观察者"的互动,例如约翰·斯坦贝克及其母亲奥利弗的经历。 关于"黑暗观察者"的成因,节目中提出了几种解释。首先是错觉(pareidolia),人们倾向于在随机的视觉模式中感知特定的图像,将树影等误认为人形生物。其次是"布拉肯幽灵"现象,阳光照射在山雾上形成的巨大影子。此外,还有一些科学解释,例如高原缺氧导致的幻觉,以及山风产生的次声波引起的焦虑感。然而,这些解释并不能完全解释所有目击事件。 Dan: 我在加州Bled附近山区徒步旅行时,感到自己被注视着,随后看到一个戴兜帽的人形身影,之后再也没有回到那个地区。 Elizabeth: (缺乏具体信息,仅作为参与者列出) John Steinbeck: 约翰·斯坦贝克在他的作品《飞行》中提到了"黑暗观察者",暗示了这种神秘生物的存在。 Olive Steinbeck: 作为年轻教师,奥利弗经常在山区旅行,她声称多次看到"黑暗观察者",并与它们进行过交换礼物的互动,这为传说增添了神秘色彩。

The Dark Watchers: Silent Guardians of the Pines

The Santa Lucia mountain range runs from Monterey and down the coast of California.

For hundreds of years, stories have been told about entities that keep watch over the mountains. Sometimes seen out of the corner of the eye, always from a distance. Stare too long and they vanish.

If you're ever hiking the wilderness of Big Sur and feel like you're being watched? 

It's because you are.
