Have you ever seen a shadowy figure out the corner of your eye? Is it your imagination or real? If it is your mind playing tricks on you, how come other people have claimed to have seen these dark figures?

What are they?

What’s going on?

When my parents were married, they were the directors of the UFO Investigator’s League in Fairfield, Ohio. Not only did they investigate anything that had to do with UFOs/extraterrestrial, they also took on paranormal cases and Bigfoot sightings as well. So I basically grew up in a household that dealt with the unknown, and we’ve had our fair share of personal experiences. One of them was shadow people.

I read a similar post on this subject, and the same theories apply now as they did before, so I shall repeat them in my own fashion, to let you know what they are:

1.) Trickery

Your mind is playing tricks on you. But is it just your imagination? Maybe so, but how come more than one person has reported the same phenomenon? I’m sure in some cases you might be seeing things, but I don’t think it’s a mass illusion which causes hundreds if not thousands of people to see shadowy figures. Ya know what I’m saying?

2.) Dark Spectral Beings

These entities are not Casper the friendly ghost. Sometimes they present themselves in a hooded cloak and some people have seen them with red eyes. When I was a small child, I saw one of those figures while I was trying to go to sleep. I thought it was a witch because I used to have the same dream over and over again of a hooded figure standing in a dark forest, beckoning me to come to it. The memory of the shadow person is vague; however, I do recall going into my sister’s room and crawling in bed with her. I also remember her asking me what was wrong, and I told her I saw a witch. Since my sister is four years older than I, she remembers more details of that time in our life. She told me she saw the same figure float down the hall towards my room, so she knew what I was talking about. We still wonder to this day if this being was extraterrestrial rather than a spirit or demon.

3.) Astral Travelers

Some theorize these shadowy figures are actually people who are still living in this world but are having an out-of-body experience. What you’re seeing is their astral body roaming around while the person is in a slumber. I believe in astral travel because I’ve had an OBE before, so I guess this theory could be true, at least with some of the cases.

4.) Parallel Universes

There are universes/dimensions parallel to ours. We are in the third dimension, btw. If you get into quantum physics, it’s amazing what they’re discovering. Some theorists think these shadow people are interdimensional.

In the same house my sister and I saw the hooded figure, some of the following things happened:

Items would go missing, then reappear in the same spot as they were before.

My parents left a tape recorder on one night, went to bed and played it the next morning. They were amazed to have captured what sounded like a lively party going on in our house.

Another time, my mom heard a couple arguing about their 17-year-old son in our kitchen. Their bickering became so loud my mom had to scream for them to shut up.

They did.

LOL.

So was the figure floating down our hall from another dimension?

Who knows?

Like I said . . . it could have been alien since my parents were one of the top investigators in the UFOlogy field.

Anyway, throughout my life I've seen shadowy figures. I don’t know what they are, but so far as an adult I haven’t felt like they were evil.

Hey! Maybe I can do a devil’s snare like Dean and Sam Winchester and trap one. Ya think? :)

A parallel universe is a separate reality coexisting with one’s own. They branch off from ours. Physicist Brian Greene says recent discoveries in physics and astronomy points to the idea that our universe may be one of many universes populating a grander multiverse. The key to understanding these multiverses comes from string theory.

Now I’m not going to bore you with this whole string theory, scientific, mathematical jargon that will make your head spin. The point is, there's a good possibility other universes exist.

In Dark Spirits, Carrie tells Paige and Nathan about the “old one” telling her there are portals to other dimensions on earth. Scientists believe the earth only possess twelve-dimensional doorways, but Nathan knows they’re wrong. There are more than a dozen. He then decides to go into detail with Carrie about it and this is what he says: “When the electromagnetic process of the earth creates a distortion in those areas and the connecting lines of the electromagnetic force activate, the portal opens, allowing whatever is on the other side in.” There’s a reason why I wrote that into the story, but of course, you’ll have to follow the trilogy and read The Devil’s Third to find out. :)

As most of you know, I grew up in a family that dealt with the paranormal world, and parallel universes was a subject we talked about around the dinner table. I think that’s why I’m so interested in it. I don’t know if they exist; however, I believe there’s a good possibility they do.

Life is a mystery, and if we keep an open mind and believe that anything is possible, one day we might be able to uncover something that can change our world and us forever.

Would that be a good thing or a bad thing? I guess that would depend on the situation. We once thought the earth was flat and now we know it’s not. I think we have an innate need to advance ourselves. With that said, if the earth doesn’t get demolished by outside forces such as a meteorite or we don’t destroy ourselves, I think eventually we’ll discover things that will answer some of our deepest questions. But until then, all we can do is speculate and allow our imagination to run wild on the possibilities that have been hovering in the minds of mankind for thousands, if not millions of years.
