FAMILY STORIES ON SHADOW

#1. Shadow -Personal Experience

During the summer of 2012, one particularly jarring incident was the night I was up very late, watching TV and exercising on the first floor. I saw straight ahead into the hallway, the basement door was ajar but the light in the kitchen was on. I watched for about 5-10 seconds as I saw a shadow that looked like my Dad walk down the hall into the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to ask him if he was okay when I realized there was no one there. I ran upstairs full of adrenaline and saw that my Dad was fast asleep. I couldn’t understand the shadow I had seen; it looked just like my Father’s shadow.

Shadow figures are among the most terrifying paranormal phenomenon that I’ve witnessed. Zinnia and I would witness them on our paranormal investigations, particularly when we were at historic cemeteries on the Cape. Pine Grove was one spot that we visited where we would often see shadow figures, especially in the dense forest that surrounds the cemetery. I’ve heard on podcasts that shadow figures are just elementals, meaning that they are earth Spirits, as opposed to human Spirits, shadow figures have never been alive. 31

On one hand, I believe there is something to that, especially when I would see shadow figures in nature. However, a shadow figure in my house that looked like my Dad, that doesn’t seem as easily explained by elementals.
