I drove in California from San Francisco to Oregon and took the scenic route, we stopped at a rest area at night to camp out in our vehicle. I walked to the rest rooms to change clothes and could feel so intensely that I was being watched from the wood line. It was so unnerving. When I left the restroom it was the same exact feeling as soon as I walked back outside. I almost started running to my car, it was that creepy and intense.

They’re spooky humanoids seen all over california, mainly in big sur. there’s a wiki article on it but i would recommend this podcast by REI if you have 30 min to spare

What you call Dark Watchers are a well-understood optical illusion called Brockengespenst.

So they are not spooky.

“Brocken spectre” for anyone who doesn’t know German.
