Brain mind
Psychologists say that there is no such thing as Dark Watchers. Actually, people consider these shapes created due to light and darkness on the mountain, as scary shadows. This is just a feeling of mind. This can be a case of ‘Pareidolia’.
What do researchers say?
Some researchers believe that these shadows are formed due to the conditions of mountains like light and clouds. People have started callings them Dark Watchers as they appear in the afternoon and in the evening because the sun’s position is such that they start forming shadows.
Clouds on top of the mountain and the opposite direction of the sun
Similar stories are told by local German people living near ‘Harz Mountain’. They say that they have also seen such dark watchers on Brocken Peak for hundreds of years. But this is usually happens when there are clouds above the mountain and the sun is in the opposite direction.
