The underpass at Nyssa

Oregon · USA · Road

The original account for this underpass at Nyssa, Oregon opens by saying it is something many people in the town will not admit to, which is an unusual way to begin.

After dark, going through the underpass beneath the railway, if you do not look directly left or right, you can see figures standing along the walkway on both sides.

They have no feet.

Many people will not walk through it.

The instruction not to look directly at them is what makes this account distinctive, and it points at something real about how vision works. Peripheral vision is far more sensitive to shape and movement than central vision and far worse at resolving detail, which is why figures at the edge of sight resolve into nothing when you turn your head.

The missing feet fit the same explanation, since the lower field is the first thing lost.

The underpass is a public walkway.
