I think I saw a shadow entity early one morning, almost two years ago. I had gone back to Pennsylvania with my uncle where he lives with his two sisters-in-law and I stayed up late working on my laptop and talking over old times with one of them, Diane. After Diane went to bed (around 3:00am), I stayed at the dining table, working on the internet for a little while longer. During this time, one of the cats in the house, Rudy, came down the stairs and stood right at the edge of the dining area. I thought he was staring at me and I thought nothing of it at the time because I once had a cat that would do the same thing when he wanted me to come to bed. Now I wonder if he saw something else in the room. After a few minutes he disappeared and I figured that he went back upstairs to go to sleep.
At around 3:30am, I decided to have a little more pumpkin ice cream before going to sleep. I closed up my laptop, turned off the lights in the dining area (except for one wall sconce), went to the kitchen for the ice cream and then brought it back to the dining table. While I was sitting there eating it, I saw a shadow pass over the opposite side of the table and against the wall. I instinctively looked behind me but there was no one there. Even if someone was standing behind me, it could not have caused the shadow. The only light source in the room was the wall sconce which was in front and to my right. The shadow actually passed under the light source. As I watched this, I felt surprised and amazed but I did not feel afraid. I finished my ice cream and then went to bed.
The next day, when Diane was driving me to the bus station, I told her what I had seen. She knew exactly what I was talking about because she had seen it in the house for a long time.
Many seem to think that these sahdow beings are ghosts of some sort. I tend to wonder if "shadow" is a good word to describe them. While watching it, I thought it looked more like a silhouette than a shadow. Perhaps there is a path between worlds that some beings knnow how to travel. Maybe there are places where the membrane between the worlds is thinner than others, or maybe this happens at specific times of the year. Then, perhaps, we can see these travelers enroute.
What do you think they are?
