This clip comes from the theme music of The X-Files, the science fiction television series that first aired in 1993. Composed by Mark Snow, the track became famous for its whistling lead melody and eerie synth texture. Over time, the theme spread far beyond the show and became shorthand online for mystery, paranormal activity and conspiracy theories. It still shows up in edits, reaction videos and comedy posts because a few seconds instantly tell viewers that something strange is going on.
