You may be sitting in front of the television set, or curled up reading a good book, when all of a sudden out of the corner of your eye you see some movement a shadow, fleeting by. You shake your head, sure that you are imagining things and go back to your book or program. Suddenly, there it is again, that shadow figure.
Shadow people are becoming a frequent phenomenon witnessed by believers and skeptics of the paranormal. The mysterious sightings have been hot topics of conversation in paranormal chat rooms and on the popular radio show “Coast to Coast with Art Bell.”
The Wikipedia claims Shadow people “are supernatural shadow-like creatures of both modern folklore and traditional native American beliefs. According to folklore, they appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people’s vision and disintegrate, or move between walls, when noticed.”
Many folks erroneously believe a shadow that just went through a wall is a ghost. But those who have been in contact with ghosts or spirits and shadow people can tell the difference.
Theories about these entities are all over the internet. As people witness this phenomenon and theories are cropping up. Among the most interesting theories can be found on Steven Wagner’s blog at About.com, Paranormal Phenomenon.
You are nuts. The first theory comes from scientists and skeptics. It’s all in our minds, it’s our imagination. Psychiatrists may feel the patient is delusional and is seeing things based on some past drug abuse causing a hallucination.
It’s a ghost. As explained a shadow is not a ghost, ghosts usually have a face or are a “light” a mist, but not a shadow.
Raven Mocker of Native American Beliefs
It’s the devil: For centuries, Native Americans and other indigenous or earthy people thought the shadow people were demons or represented our darker natures. Much of the mythology surrounding this theory comes from the Cherokee stories about Raven Mocker, an evil witch known to appear as a shadow-like phantom to steal souls. So in modern times some occultists and demonologists believe shadow people come from the devil.
Astral Bodies: The theory goes, when we are asleep we all astral travel, so those of us who are awake are seeing people who are traveling while sleeping. It’s a cool theory if you believe you are actually floating around out there when asleep. It could be.
Time Travelers: When we see a shadow person we are actually witnessing someone from our own future coming in to check us out and see why we were so messed up in this era.
Beings from another dimension: Science has proven there are more than the three dimensions in the universe. We could be witnessing people from another dimension living in a parallel universe. In the specific area of quantum physics, this would make perfect sense.
Aliens: The last theory is the aliens are among us. They are frequently coming to the planet to study us closer. To either take us over or reveal themselves once we have evolved.
Theories are made to be proved or disproved, in the meantime, more and more people are seeing the “shadows” out of the corner of their eyes, more reports have come up in the 21st century than ever before. Could it be because of the link we all have to each other on the internet? Or, could it be because we are becoming more awakened and aware of the “space” between leaves?
