While I was writing my previous two articles, I noticed I had an uninvited guest in my house. Perhaps he or she is welcome, but it's impossible to determine that when I can't see him or her.
You could say that I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye, as is discussed on the Wikipedia page about shadow people. You could say it, but you'd be wrong.
Strange Encounters
Back in April of 2007, I wrote about being weirded out. A couple of days later, one of my mysteries was solved.
Aside from the unknown source of light, which wasn't unnatural in any way, I had been seeing shadows in my right-side peripheral vision. After a couple of weeks, those shadows stopped appearing and I no longer saw anything that freaked me out.
What I've seen this evening is only similar in that I'm seeing shadows. But I'm NOT seeing them out of my peripheral vision. I was watching a gecko scurrying in the hallway and saw a shadow of a person on the floor, just like I would see if my son had walked out of his bedroom to go to the bathroom. At this late hour, and considering he has school tomorrow, I walked into the hallway to check up on him. He wasn't there! I opened his bedroom door and he was fast asleep. The shadow hadn't been cast by him!
I have been seeing random shadows like this for the past three hours. They're clearly shadows of people, but I can't see who or what is casting the shadows.
Addressing the Unknown
I'm not easily frightened. I've seen enough bloodshed and death in my lifetime, both in and out of the military, to say that it doesn't have much effect on me. I'm desensitized to fear and violence, which in my opinion isn't a good thing. We should always be afraid of something because fear is a normal, protective, human emotion.
I've been seeing these shadows clearly enough (I have a light on in the hallway as well as my bedroom) to know they aren't products of my imagination. A minute ago, I watched a shadow moving down the hallway (like a person walking) until it disappeared at the opposite end. I'm confident that I have one or more visitors who I can't see, but he/she/they cast shadows. I've spoken out loud, asking why I'm being annoyed.
I have yet to receive a response.
