Last night I grabbed something out of the fridge and God Help Me there was a figure standing in the other kitchen doorway. Saw it just for an instant and more than in just my peripheral vision. Wide awake after that.

Being boring and skeptical I figured out it was a combination of lighting and a picture hanging on the wall outside the door. I could almost duplicate it - must've been a random series of things that led to it. The dog was flipped out already because of a thunderstorm so she was of no help here.

But it caught me totally off guard and seemed quite realistic. Skeptic or not I still had to walk through the house and make sure there were no .... unauthorized personnel around

I don't know How long it's been since I told the story of the Shadow thing I saw when I was about fourteen. But I know people here have heard it, I was wide awake, And My curiosity had me more so than my fear, I had to walk up to it. It's reactions indicated to me that it had no idea I could see it. I was no further away than a foot and a half from it when I Yelled at it asking what it was, When it realized I was truly addressing it, it took a startling stance and speed away from me going through furniture and obstacles in the way, Some curious things about it. It didn't seem to touch the floor, IT more or less glided or floated, And oddly it seemed to prefer to use doorways to exit the room even though it could clearly go right through objects as they weren't even there.

I know Others objectively hold the right to believe this is a made-up story or to assume well I'm bipolar I could have seen anything that wasn't even there. Well In all my years being bipolar I've never seen things. Whatever this was it wasn't from my imagination. There are factual things going on in this world that we don't have answers for.

I used to see shadow beings more when I was younger, but recently I've seen some odd things coming out of the forest at dusk, perhaps a play on the shadows of the plant and tree life along with the sun starting to set, but nonetheless I was seeing them straight on, no peripheral vision required, about 150 feet away while I was sitting on my deck...

Well you have had me thinking, I do have some equipment I could set up indoors and outdoors too but more limited outdoors...I have some custom glass filters I cut and shaped to fit two particular lights I have...These filters are red and blue coloured for allowing only infrared light through and using an old digital camera connected to a time lapse recorder I can record for hours in infrared...Outdoors I have a couple analog waterproof cameras that are also night vision cameras but the night vision range is short, only about 10 feet, I can also connect these to a time lapse recorder I have...I have a hodge podge of older equipment from security systems I once had and bought cheap at auctions lol...I also have an infrared laser and ultraviolet laser I bought a couple years ago but haven't put to use yet...

Not suited for outdoors but I just saw some Wyze cameras that were under fifty bucks. If I had a recurring phenomenon like that I'd probably be out there in a ghillie suit for days .....

A friend of mine actually made - at his kitchen table - a highly specialized type of trail cam that he successfully marketed to research groups all over the place. Showed me pictures of actual friggin' tigers and stuff from some of the test expeditions.

So we set one up on my shed out back. It's a goddamned Motel 8 for all sorts of creatures. He even caught a scary monster in his own back yard - a Fisher. I never even heard of one much less saw one, or had any idea they're skulking around here at night.

Well it's about 19:50 in the evening when I saw this, I'm sitting outside my workshop near the tree line and see a tall slender shadow move about 50 feet down across the trees in the pic below...It was about 15 feet tall and moved from left to right in that photo view...The movement caught my eye and I looked dead at it, I couldn't tell the shape because it's shape was deformed because of the tree shapes...It took about 8 seconds to move about 50 or 60 feet and just faded into the trees, it was gone...The sun is setting behind those trees too...

I'm nor sure what I'm looking at. Could you mark the thing you're looking at? Is there a structure in those trees - another shed?

I didn't photograph the shadow, just the treeline to the right where it crossed, I didn't have my phone nor camera with me when I saw it, I don't carry my phone around with me at home like I do at work...Yes the is an old shed at the far end of the photo, but the shadow I saw never made it that far...

I wonder where the Fisher parked his spacecraft?

I think I see a man standing there in light colored pants, an entrance to a structure of some kind and maybe a small tractor. Could just be something leaning there. Wonder if that really is the case and maybe if it was a person something he was doing might've caught your eye.

I have a neighbor who is quite literally nuts and she skulks around in the woods on my property because she was fixated on the young couple next door and was always conducting reconnaissance missions. Told my wife Jesus made her a beautiful dress. Age is the only thing that has cooled her need to do that.

At those distances the quality of the pic you would get from from your phone is debatable.

Well I was not referring to anything down that far in the picture just to my immediate right from where I was snapping the photo anything down there is irrelevant because I was not looking down that far and had no intention on getting a clear photo of anything that far down... I see your point though but I just took the picture just to give some reference that's all...

Last night I was in my spare room which acts as a library, the door is hung about a 3/4 of an inch above the hardwood floor and outside that room is the short hallway in the back of the house which has a light above the door which opens into the library...I had the hallway light on, it was about 21:30 when I went into the room and closed the door and turning away I saw a clear shadow move across the door through the light shining under the door from the hallway...It certainly got my attention, held my breath a sec whilst I opened the door quickly to see what the heck that was...Nothing can be seen, my dog followed up and acted as if nothing was there...So I go back in the room and close the door behind the dog and dammit again a shadow moved across the door, about the same speed after the door was closed...I opened again quickly and talked out loud alerting the dog but nothing, he doesn't smell anything, I don't see anything...A third time and I'm ready, my hand isn't leaving that door knob, I close the door all the way and nothing, no shadow this time, tried a couple more times but nothing more...This afternoon, around 1440 I was in that room again, on one wall are bookshelves that are open, no backs, solid Brazilian Cherry hardwood, I made myself, different than the other walls that have store bought bookcases...One these hardwood shelves some are full of books and others have gemstone specimens of various types and sizes...I was sitting in my reading chair and looked up at those Cherry shelves and see a shadow move across behind the shelves on the wall behind them...About 3 or 4 seconds the shadow moved, I could not make out a shape because of the books and gemstones in front of it, it moved about the same speed as the shadows across the door the night before...

That's creepy they say spirits / ghosts/ entities live inside the walls and as such are never to far away from them . Stick an EVP/ EMP meter on the wall and see what it says. I had something living in my old cupboard in the bedroom the EVP meter picked it up moving around inside the cupboard of course when I looked inside there was nothing there. I followed it from the cupboard to the side wall using the meter where it disappeared I never saw anything but the meter picked it up.

I don't mean to sound superstitious, I've had weird things happening lately too, My ultimate point to this post is, Do you think there is any kind of, Like, Maybe spiritual significance to the Season changing into Fall, I don't want to say, "Halloween" but the concept of Halloween Was based upon The colder weather killing off all the crops and leaving Death in its path, because back then, People didn't have adequate food or medication, So, The cold weather and seasonal changes meant, some people weren't going to make it through the winter. This prime evil fear of life into death is still part of our collective subconscious. What I'm getting at is, If enough people Have a strong enough will toward some beliefe, could this lend some sort of spiritual significance to that thing?

Is it possible that because historically, People feared those changes from warmth and life, to coldness and death, that somehow, This time of year literally experiences more paranormal activity than other seasons?

For the Celts who celebrated their new year on November 1st, the day marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, the end of light and the beginning of darkness, the end of life and the beginning of death.

That is probably the bravest story I have heard in a really long time. Most people, including "ghost hunters" take off running because they are so terrified when they see a shadow person.

I had one, may still be with me, I used to catch it quite often and it would disappear as soon as I directly looked at it. I gotta say, it really does give one a hell of a fright when it happens.

Then one day, I had had enough so, I spoke out loud to it after a sighting, "I know you are here and I also know there is nothing I can do about it. You obviously have the ability to be invisible so, I need you to stay that way when I am around because YOU ARE FREAKING ME OUT!!" It seems to have worked because I have only seen it once or twice in the past 12 years. :)

Here's a shadow figure report, it looked like a skinny grim reaper according to the witness...

...

I saw a shadow figure...

I was semi-astranged from my dad. In November 2018 I had argument with my dad, and told him I never wanted to see him again. I really meant it. We never communicated beyond that.

On Monday morning 18/3/19 I was walking back to my car in the local shopping centre car park. The car was isolated in the car park. Sitting on my car were 5 black crows. There were no crows on the ground, or in the air. All 5 were just setting on my car, looking at me as I approached. I felt a mild panic, and went to take a pic (as it was pretty creepy... and a picture is better than words). I decided not to... as I did not want to 'validate the scene'.

On that same Monday afternoon (18/3/19) at about 3:30pm saw a large shadow figure. It was down the hallway silhouetted against an white open door. I felt something looking at me, I looked up to meet its gaze... and it darted quickly to it's left into a bedroom. I freaked, and went top to toe looking for the 'intruder' in the house. There was nothing there. It was taller than the door, skinny and hooded. It kinda looked like a skinny grim reaper... with no reaping tool. I mentioned it to my nurse in conversation at work on Tuesday and Wednesday.... and plucked up the courage to tell my wife about it on the Thursday.

Inexplicably... I experienced some chest pain in the car on the way to work on the Thursday morning.

All week I inexplicably had motorbike themes going on in my head. I was humming a motor bike song, and was looking to watch 'the world's fastest indian'. I have a friend who lost his daughter in a car crash. I see him perhaps once every 2 yrs. That week, inexplicably, I visited him 3 times.

On Thursday and Friday evening, I went to text my dad to make amends... but didn't.

On the Saturday 23/3/19, my dad fell off his motor bike and was killed.

There was discussion afterwards that Dad had had chest pains... particularly on the Thursday morning

My wife only last week opened her Facebook messenger. She found an 'I'm sorry' message from my dad. He had sent it on Monday 18/3/19 at 5:14pm (within 2 hours of me seeing that big bloody shadow figure).

All that stuff simply HAS to be linked to my dads death. I wasn't drunk, I don't do drugs, I have no mental illness... and all this stuff happened.
