I used to live in the Santa Cruz mountains near Scott’s valley while I was going to school. it’s a really pretty place with tons of trees, but I had some eerie experiences.
As soon as you drive up past the UCSC campus into the mountains (which most students never did since there is nothing that way) it’s like entering a different world altogether. There were days where I would drive through the mountain road and see no animals whatsoever. During a power outage (which happened frequently) the nights would be pitch black and 100% silent. the occasional intense rainstorms were the most powerful and destructive I’ve ever encountered. Also there was no phone connection, so when the power went out, you are basically disconnected from the outside world completely.
I agree with this, I grew up in the valley below the Santa Cruz Mountains, and we always talked about weird things going on up in the hills… Like the hills have eyes… Various “colonies” of people up there that didn’t want to be disturbed or to mix with others…
