just now caught a glimpse of a shadow man ducking from the hallway into the kitchen. Could it be after my leftover pizza?
I'm joking of course. I can't remember a time when I didn't see them now and then (if you can call a glimpse out of the corner of your eye seeing) but they have never interacted with me in any way so most of the time I ignore them. It is only this thread that got me thinking about them again.
They don't seem able to go through sold matter like walls but always use doorways. Usually when I see them they are darting in or out of a doorway and I only see them for a moment. I've never caught a glimpse of one in the room itself.
An optometrist would say they are only your eyes tricking you and nothing more but I feel a reality of some sort there, even a consciousness although not of the sort we can communicate with. Perhaps they experience us as shadows, just as we see them.
