I remember the shadows from the capitol. My blades were unable to bite them, when even unbodied spirits have cause to respect their edges.

It appears that in some cases, one may feel justified in being scared by ones own shadow. I am referring to the Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. This phantasm stalks the foggy mountain of Ben MacDhui in Scotland. It is often heard by its footsteps on the gravelly rocks while stalking hikers. More rarely, it is seen. It only manifests when the fog is just right, when a thick fog is just beginning to thin. It takes the figure of a shadowy human but impossibly tall, about ten meters with exaggerated legs.

Here is the grey man's trick. It is actually a Brocken Spectre. That means it is the hiker's own shadow being cast onto the fog. Link!

Well, this does very well explain some of the Shadow People sightings, doesn't it?

Another Shadow Person sighting occurred in a recent episode of Jim Harold's Campfire. It's the first story of the episode about five minutes into the program. Link! Jim has started the habit of charging for his shows after the first ninety days, so grab it quickly.

All the time grace all the time

Here is another story, called When Shadow People Attack.

If taken at face value, this account confirms that the Hat Men are a distinct category of Shadow Creatures from the common Shadow Men. Furthermore, this account suggests a chain of command among their kind.

Link it like you just don't care.
