Latest / Paranormal Lens - A Crossroads Of Curiosities, LLC Production / Shadow Figures: The Strangest Paranormal Phenomenon?
Transcript
- 0:00Shadow figures are undoubtedly some of the strangest
- 0:02reported phenomena in the paranormal. Now, we
- 0:05don't have the answers, but we can theorize.
- 0:07Are they glitches in the matrix? Time slips?
- 0:11Are they actual entities, or just the shadows
- 0:13of the entities? And have we ever seen a shadow
- 0:17figure? Spoiler alert, yes. This is a special
- 0:21episode of Paranormal Lens. It actually originally
- 0:23aired... Gosh, well over a year and a half ago,
- 0:26back when we did a mini trial run, proof of concept,
- 0:29if you will, of the podcast. I would normally
- 0:32re -release something like this as a Monday bonus,
- 0:34but we already have a bunch of those lined up
- 0:36for October and it's birthday season. Today is
- 0:39Angela's birthday and last week was Brianna's
- 0:41birthday. So we've been very busy celebrating
- 0:44and not really recording. podcast episodes so
- 0:48it's just missing a good time to re -release
- 0:50this one as a main podcast episode to give us
- 0:52a little break so to speak before we dive headfirst
- 0:55into spooky season while still releasing something
- 0:57this week on thursday for the main podcast now
- 1:02I know not a lot of people usually watch the
- 1:04YouTube version of this podcast, but apologies
- 1:08to those few. This is an audio only recording
- 1:11and apologies to the audio listeners. This is
- 1:14an older recording before we had our fancy podcasting
- 1:17mics. So the quality is not as high as our regular
- 1:20recordings, but it's an iconic episode and recording
- 1:22and spawned many bits and inside jokes, including
- 1:25Uncle Bunkable. So without further ado. Welcome
- 1:30to our podcast where we take deep dives looking
- 1:32at various topics through a paranormal lens.
- 1:37Today's question is about shadow figures. Are
- 1:40they paranormal or are they not? And have you
- 1:43guys ever seen them? So, have you guys seen them?
- 1:47Just cold open, just like no breathing room here
- 1:52at all. Angela means business tonight. She means
- 1:58business. Today's question, and then it's just,
- 2:00like, one question after another. Okay, to be
- 2:04fair, though, I did wake up from a nap right
- 2:06before we started this, and, like, I don't think
- 2:09my mind is fully aware, so I'm just like, bam,
- 2:12bam, bam, bam, bam. Do the shadow figures now.
- 2:15Shadow figures, pop out wherever you are. That's
- 2:20scandalous. One scandal after another, that's
- 2:23how we roll. That's how we get the clicks, you
- 2:26know? Scandal, scandal, scandal. You won't believe
- 2:31what Brie did this week. What did I do this week?
- 2:35Oh yeah, what did she do? Scandal, scandal, scandal.
- 2:38I did no scandals. So let's get back to the topic
- 2:41at hand. We're talking about scandal figures,
- 2:44I mean shadow figures. oh gosh this is the black
- 2:51lodge version the shadow version of the the podcast
- 2:54this is something so why did this topic resonate
- 2:59with you angela um you kind of spurred the moment
- 3:01this morning where it was like shadow figures
- 3:03let's talk about it i don't know i don't know
- 3:07you know i was at work and i was just chilling
- 3:10thinking about what the topic should be and then
- 3:14i was like shadow figures shadow figures Have
- 3:18you seen one? Do you think about them often?
- 3:21No, not really. I mean, I've seen one, which
- 3:24was at Madison Seminary, which we are going to
- 3:27go back to within a few weeks. But man, even
- 3:31then, I was like so fast and split of a moment.
- 3:34I'm like. maybe that wasn't was that just something
- 3:36i was seeing in my brain i feel like that's how
- 3:39what shadow figures are like most of the time
- 3:41so so true though but it was like yeah we were
- 3:45in the hallways and i saw i saw like someone
- 3:47peek around the corner and it was like dark down
- 3:50there and i just remember it was like very black
- 3:54um outline of a top half of a body like peeking
- 3:57around the corner type of thing i remember i
- 4:00saw this and it was like kind of cool looking
- 4:02but also like really spooky at the same time
- 4:05because the red exit sign that was on the hall
- 4:07down the hallway so it was just red light and
- 4:11then a black outline of a human peeking around
- 4:15the corner so it was all red and then just pure
- 4:17black human outline huh it was cool looking but
- 4:21it was like very split a second maybe this is
- 4:24semantics but like You just said it was solid
- 4:27and it disrupted a light that you're seeing emanating
- 4:32off the exit sign. So if it was a shadow, is
- 4:36it a shadow or is it an apparition? That's a
- 4:39good question. Where's the line between shadow
- 4:42figure and apparition? I guess that's a good
- 4:45question too. What is a shadow figure? Is it
- 4:48shadowy or is it pure black form? That's a hard
- 4:53question to answer because I feel like shadow
- 4:58figures and apparitions are very hard to distinguish
- 5:02apart from each other. But I feel like shadow
- 5:06figures, you only see like split of the second,
- 5:11like off the corner of your eye. no features
- 5:15black mass sometimes it's a mass sometimes it's
- 5:19not whereas apparitions i feel like can have
- 5:22more definition um like people describe oh i
- 5:26saw a woman in a white dress or uh i saw a man
- 5:30and he had facial features like yeah there is
- 5:33a distinct difference but when you get into solid
- 5:35mass shadow figure versus apparitions that's
- 5:40where the line starts to blur and it's just like
- 5:42I remember seeing it for the first second but
- 5:44I turned around because it did freak me out I
- 5:47should have just like stayed there and stood
- 5:49at it and looked at it and see what would have
- 5:51happened would have disappeared would have just
- 5:53stayed there and looked back at me you know you
- 5:55know and I feel like I feel like that's a common
- 5:58thing with the with shadow figures is like like
- 6:01I said you only ever see them either at the corner
- 6:03of your eye or in a split second And then by
- 6:06the time you look back at it and be like, oh,
- 6:08was that what I thought it was? They're gone.
- 6:10And I feel like that's the reoccurring thing
- 6:12with shadow figures. And kind of what I alluded
- 6:15to, the more I'm thinking about it, the more
- 6:17I'm realizing shadow figures are, they don't
- 6:21behave like shadows. No, no. My shadow is going
- 6:25to be against like a solid surface. It's not
- 6:27going to, your shadow, you don't cast shadows
- 6:29in the middle of a hallway, just floating, you
- 6:33know. blocking out lights. Yeah, they have to
- 6:36have a surface to be caught on. Have any of the
- 6:41shadow figures you've seen, Bree, been gliding
- 6:44against a wall with a clear light source, or
- 6:47are they free -floating and kind of behaving
- 6:49how a shadow shouldn't? All of the ones I've
- 6:52seen have been outdoors. To an extent, well,
- 6:56no. They've been free -floating and not reflected
- 7:02upon a surface. They are... just a figure that
- 7:05is a shadow but i couldn't necessarily see through
- 7:09it i mean this is all sounding very peter pan
- 7:12but it's real this is real yeah so a shadow figure
- 7:18is essentially what what we're calling a shadow
- 7:23figure something that's um free floating something
- 7:28that appears very fast and disappears very fast
- 7:32either in your peripheral or just a quick boom
- 7:35what's that shadow why is it not there anymore
- 7:39and it's typically free floating um semi -opaque
- 7:44but can still block out the light and it's just
- 7:46featureless kind of a humanoid black mass if
- 7:52you will yeah could a shadow figure be the shadow
- 7:56of the ghost or is the shadow figure the ghost
- 8:00who knows that's a great question you know sometimes
- 8:05though when i think about shadow figures is it
- 8:09kind of like a glitch in our time where we are
- 8:14encountering someone in a different time than
- 8:19us from the past or the future It's just a black
- 8:23outline because like we shouldn't be able to
- 8:26see things from the past or the future. You know
- 8:28what I'm talking about? Yeah, I mean, that kind
- 8:31of makes sense. I was kind of thinking, what
- 8:34about if it's me in the future? That was me in
- 8:38the future, like peering around the corner at
- 8:40Madison. I get to catch a glimpse of just in
- 8:44a split second, catch a glimpse of me. Yeah,
- 8:47because we will be going back there. soon so
- 8:50could it be a slip in the um matrix so to speak
- 8:54um yeah again the weird past present and future
- 8:59coexisting at the same timeline by the time what
- 9:02we're recording now airs we would have already
- 9:05returned to madison and potentially encountered
- 9:08your future self that you theorize might be the
- 9:15shadow figure this is getting to inception like
- 9:18my dudes you bookended my uh glitch in the matrix
- 9:25comment with a deep in the inception comment
- 9:29so those are two movies and peter pan so it's
- 9:33on today's recommendations um matrix inception
- 9:36peter pan this kind of i don't know what this
- 9:40also just reminded me when you when people see
- 9:43apparitions you know i was always like someone
- 9:47kind of like dressed in old time things like
- 9:50when people say oh i saw an apparition of a woman
- 9:53in white in a white dress or a victorian area
- 9:55have you ever heard of someone seeing an apparition
- 9:59of someone in futuristic or modern clothing you
- 10:04know what i'm talking about modern yes Like,
- 10:07I've heard of, like, apparitions wearing, like,
- 10:09blue jeans. Yeah, but blue jeans have been going
- 10:12back a while ago now. Or, like, someone's Uncle
- 10:15Jim died a month ago, and then they swear they
- 10:18just saw Uncle Jim. Okay, yeah. You know what
- 10:21I mean? But you did make me think of, perhaps,
- 10:26it's always a 1800s, you know, or Victorian woman
- 10:31in white apparition. Maybe the features need
- 10:35to, like, load. so to speak. So black is like
- 10:40the default. It's like when you're playing a
- 10:42video game and the skin is locked. You haven't
- 10:48unlocked the skin yet and it's just a shadow
- 10:51with a colored mark. It's like once it actually
- 10:53happens, that's when it loads all the way and
- 10:56that's when you can see the color and the outlines
- 10:58and the details and that's when it becomes an
- 11:00apparition. I don't know. oh my goodness well
- 11:08um there's also a road to go down about the parallels
- 11:12between like woman in white which is white and
- 11:14then shadow figure which is black like that perhaps
- 11:17that's going into white lodge black lodge sort
- 11:19of stuff about the opposites there if you if
- 11:21you want to go that route i always like in my
- 11:24brain um like the woman in white is like the
- 11:29opposite reflection of the uh the black hat man
- 11:33yes that's what exactly i was gonna say i was
- 11:37gonna say not shadow figures like i think they're
- 11:39they're separate but the woman in white is opposite
- 11:42of the the hat man what do you call a hat man
- 11:46as a shadow figure yes i wouldn't no no because
- 11:52he has he has features like he has a hat it's
- 11:56just like a hat there's no like details you know
- 11:59it's just but I feel like that is still enough
- 12:04like feature and identification to call it an
- 12:09apparition instead of a shadow figure. I feel
- 12:12like most of the time, like experiences with
- 12:14the hat man, I hear about like in sleep paralysis.
- 12:20And so people are in pictures when people are
- 12:23taking pictures, he pops up. Yeah. And he, so
- 12:27he isn't something that you see for a split second
- 12:30and he's gone. It's something that you see for
- 12:32a longer period and actually see, not out of
- 12:35the peripherals. So I think he falls outside
- 12:40of the shadow figure definition and more closer
- 12:45on the apparition definition. I could agree with
- 12:49that, yeah. He's a lone wanderer that lives in
- 12:52the shadow of the greater shadow figure phenomena.
- 12:56Bucky Wilde. So is that one shadow figure that
- 13:00you saw at Madison the only one that you've seen,
- 13:02Angela? That's the only one I've ever seen. You
- 13:06said you saw a couple though, Brie, yourself?
- 13:09I've seen two. My first one was at Paraschini.
- 13:15Not surprised. Yeah. And it was like a split
- 13:21of the second. Like, did I really just see that?
- 13:24I was on the opposite side of the cemetery. And
- 13:28I just saw like a shadow cross across the opposite
- 13:36side, like against the tree line. Like, was it
- 13:41a shadow figure? It was hard to say. Was it my
- 13:44brain playing a trick on me? Entirely possible.
- 13:48Like it was sunny. There were clouds. It's entirely
- 13:51possible it wasn't a shadow figure, but I know
- 13:53we had heard voices from that side of the cemetery.
- 13:56So like it kind of correlated that I saw a shadow
- 13:59figure over there. But the most impressive shadow
- 14:02figure I ever saw was at Rosevear Park. Oh, I
- 14:07forgot about this. Ben, did you see this one?
- 14:09What's your reaction? I forgot. We were there.
- 14:14It was in like dead middle winter. And we went
- 14:19there for. one specific reason to uh for ben
- 14:23to film a time lapse i was getting a time yeah
- 14:26a time lapse of the the sun setting on the park
- 14:28and we had we had messed around a little bit
- 14:31gotten cold we're just like okay we're gonna
- 14:33go warm up in the car and ben's like okay i'm
- 14:35gonna go set my camera up on this hill for the
- 14:39time lapse and we're like are you sure you should
- 14:41leave your phone over there or your camera over
- 14:43there like all by itself while warming in the
- 14:46car and he's like yeah yeah probably not so Notice
- 14:51what he said. You were excluding me from warming
- 14:55up in the car. I'm pretty sure I actually offered
- 14:58to also go with you. No, you didn't. And you're
- 15:01just like, oh, no, no, no. It's fine. It's good.
- 15:03You guys go warm up. Anyways, doesn't matter.
- 15:06It was a long time ago. We're getting there.
- 15:12Me and the other couple people who were with
- 15:15you were on this. No, you weren't with me. That's
- 15:18the whole point. Yes, I know. We're sitting in
- 15:21the car, warming up, singing some Christmas music,
- 15:25and I'm just staring out the window, like, in
- 15:27the direction where Ben is. I can't see him.
- 15:29He's over on the opposite side of the hill. And
- 15:31I'm watching the wind, like, sway the branches,
- 15:34and all of a sudden I see, like, this mass next
- 15:37to a tree, like, just skirt behind it. I'm like,
- 15:41huh, that was interesting. Like, but I'm pretty
- 15:43sure that was just a branch, like, moving because
- 15:46of the wind, and I kept watching it and watching
- 15:48it and watching it. It never moved back out from
- 15:50behind the tree. I'm like, oh my god, did I really
- 15:53just see what I think I saw? Wait, so how long
- 15:56of a period of time do you watch it? Only like
- 15:59for a few seconds? It literally happened just
- 16:01like that. Just snap of a moment, a black mass
- 16:04scooted from the right side of a tree to behind
- 16:08it. And that's all I saw. And I waited to see
- 16:11if a branch would sway back out because that's
- 16:13all I thought it was, was a tree branch swaying
- 16:16behind the tree and was going to come back out
- 16:18in a second. And it never did. And one of the
- 16:22other people in the car, I'm like, okay, I swear
- 16:24to God, I just saw something. And they're like,
- 16:26I thought I was going crazy because I thought
- 16:29I saw something move too. And I'm like, oh shit,
- 16:33Ben is over there by himself. So I hopped out
- 16:38of the car, and I'm like, Ben, are you okay?
- 16:43And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, okay. So I
- 16:46run over, and I tell him what happened, and he's
- 16:49like, yeah, I felt like I was being watched.
- 16:53But I went over to where I saw the shadow move,
- 16:57and that was, like, eight feet off the ground.
- 17:00Like, it wasn't, like, human level. It had to
- 17:04have been tall, whatever it was. Yeah. that's
- 17:06kind of creepy it was such a weird instance of
- 17:11like i i feel like that was the most um compelling
- 17:16experience i've had as an investigator because
- 17:19i actually saw something physical with my eyes
- 17:22and someone else saw it too this shadow had no
- 17:27explanation it was just wild huh it's interesting
- 17:31too to me that like again You're saying this
- 17:35was something physical. You thought it could
- 17:37have been a tree at first until it moved and
- 17:39never came back. Just like Angela thought it
- 17:42was humanoid and solid. Words that wouldn't necessarily
- 17:46be associated with a shadow, you'd think. What
- 17:51about you, Ben? What are some of your shadow
- 17:54figure experiences? I actually pulled up our
- 18:00master document of all of our... investigations
- 18:05back when we did like our web series like the
- 18:07first 200 something 300 investigations that we
- 18:12did we have like a list of them um once we stopped
- 18:15the web series we stopped keeping track unfortunately
- 18:18but um we should keep keeping track yeah we just
- 18:22do too much um it's all too random these days
- 18:27but yeah um i've been trying to think Where have
- 18:30I seen a shadow figure? Because I feel like I've
- 18:32seen one a couple times. The first thing that
- 18:34came to my mind, though, was I didn't see it,
- 18:38but I captured it. When we were at Evenstar's
- 18:40Chalice filming Timeless Spaces, the short film
- 18:43that we made a couple years ago, we filmed in
- 18:47a psychic shop that is currently inside what
- 18:51once was the old Ypsilanti Sanitarium. Unbeknownst
- 18:55to us, ironically, in the spot where they say
- 18:59a lady in white is seen and where um we investigated
- 19:04uh with michael welch from highland paranormal
- 19:08research society he and i both saw what looked
- 19:12like a white flowy dress like an app an apparition
- 19:15of like a white flowy dress we didn't catch it
- 19:18on camera but later in that same spot you capture
- 19:24what looks like a shadow completely free floating
- 19:29cross behind a shelf of merchandise like it's
- 19:33it's not something that's like at the top of
- 19:36my mind because i didn't see it it was only captured
- 19:39on on camera after so it's not like a memory
- 19:41of of mine so to speak but that jumped out because
- 19:44we're talking about the woman in white and the
- 19:46contrast with the woman in white being you know
- 19:49maybe the opposite of like the hat man or these
- 19:53type of entities um so it was interesting that
- 19:56both were seen one scene with the eye the other
- 19:59captured at a later point in the night um i don't
- 20:04know it's that's just interesting to me that's
- 20:07the only time capturing visual phenomena on camera
- 20:10is is rare and much of the shadow figures quote
- 20:14-unquote shadow figures that people catch on
- 20:16investigations can easily be debunked because
- 20:20people don't when you when you when you're filming
- 20:23in infrared light you're often not conscious
- 20:27because you can't see the light of how the night
- 20:31vision, the infrared that you have on your cameras
- 20:35interacting with the environment, with the other
- 20:37infrared lights that you have set up potentially
- 20:39around the room. There's a lot of infrared shadowing
- 20:42and, you know, them bouncing off each other that
- 20:45could create these shadows that you just wouldn't
- 20:48think would be there because you can't see it
- 20:51with your naked eye. And it's a little bit more
- 20:53difficult to debunk. Unless you know what you're
- 20:56looking for. I mean, that makes 100 % sense.
- 20:59When you're mixing all these light spectrums,
- 21:03like the visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet
- 21:06light, heck, there's probably all these other.
- 21:10Yeah, full spectrum. You're mixing all these.
- 21:13Oh, Bree just left the chat. We're recording
- 21:19over Zoom, ladies and gentlemen, and Bree did
- 21:21not like me for getting full spectrum. Should
- 21:24we have some transitional music? We should add
- 21:27some, like, elevator music in. I am back. Sounds
- 21:34good. We were just singing some elevator music
- 21:37while we were waiting. Okay. I won't ever forget
- 21:40Full Spectrum. Again. But yeah, that goes into
- 21:49what we were talking about with orbs. You have
- 21:51all these quote unquote invisible lights bouncing
- 21:54around the place, casting shadows and interacting
- 21:57with each other. And of course the cameras and
- 22:01their sensors. So if you're not familiar with,
- 22:06you know, what IR shadowing could look like and
- 22:09the effects it could have on the footage. then
- 22:13you just need to use it more. Learn how to have
- 22:15a keen eye for these things and train yourself
- 22:18to think critically and debunk as much as you
- 22:23can. 100 % agree. So that kind of goes into like
- 22:28what we think shadow figures are in terms of
- 22:31like most of the footage of them. The one we
- 22:34caught in the film, that was just in normal visible
- 22:39light spectrum. i had a dslr at the time so this
- 22:44was just i had no light sources we were just
- 22:46using the natural light in the um in in the shop
- 22:49so it was all the overhead fluorescence really
- 22:52ugly lighting but we were doing it in black and
- 22:54white so it didn't look too ugly but yeah anyways
- 22:58i digress um so we knew where all the lights
- 23:01were and they were stationary is my point and
- 23:03we had no external lights and uh it was at nighttime
- 23:06so we knew whatever lights were outside you know
- 23:10If a car went by, we would know that sort of
- 23:13thing. So easy to debunk and attempt to disprove,
- 23:17which we could not in this case. So that's what
- 23:20we think shadow figures could be in terms of
- 23:22most of the footage out there. Do you think it's
- 23:25just like a trick of the eye when you see one?
- 23:29Because there's always so quick and sometimes
- 23:31any peripheral. I feel like that could be the
- 23:33case. I feel like it can be the case a lot of
- 23:35the time. adrenaline being in a dark place lots
- 23:40of shadows lots of different lighting more than
- 23:4560 percent of the time a shadow figure is likely
- 23:47something that you um imagined like your brain
- 23:51concocted in your periphery because it will do
- 23:55that yeah you could just like interpret a shadow
- 23:58you saw for a split second like turning the corner
- 24:01or something or turning your body or whatever
- 24:04Yeah. And see it as like a human shape or something.
- 24:08Yeah. Because it's always so quick. Ghost hunters
- 24:11are going into dark places for the first time.
- 24:15They've never been to this hallway until right
- 24:18now when it's pitch black. And when they round
- 24:21the corner, their eyes may be trying to fill
- 24:23in that empty space or they might catch the coat
- 24:28rack just barely glistening in the moonlight
- 24:32and, you know. As they pass real quick, their
- 24:35brain is telling them it's a humanoid shape.
- 24:38Yeah, but I feel like there's still, like, shadow
- 24:44figures are definitely a thing. I mean, we each
- 24:46have had an experience with them with no way
- 24:51to actually debunk, like, that are undebunkable.
- 24:55Undebunkable, that's a fun word. Undebunkable.
- 25:00Uncobunkable? Uncobunkable. Undefunkable. So,
- 25:09in those circumstances, when a shadow figure
- 25:16is actually a shadow figure, what do we think
- 25:20it is? Is it, like, we talked about the possibility
- 25:25it could be an impression on time or something
- 25:30in the future that hasn't loaded yet. I love
- 25:34how that's worded. Or could it simply just be
- 25:36a spirit or an entity? I feel like that's what
- 25:42we're left with. Or a very low resolution, highly
- 25:46pixelated figure. Yeah. The apparition is like
- 25:51the 4K and the shadow figure is like the 240p.
- 25:56I love the idea of that. A low res apparition.
- 26:01Old black and white film. We're so nerdy on this
- 26:05podcast and this episode in particular, I feel
- 26:08like. Just this episode? Yeah. And we weren't
- 26:12nerdy the episode I was talking about prions
- 26:15and diseases in deer. Yeah, you're right. I forgot
- 26:19about that. I haven't edited that one yet. I
- 26:22was going to say, I feel like we've definitely
- 26:24had a lot more nerdy episodes than this one.
- 26:27We're all nerds in our own way. We're all nerds
- 26:30in our own ways. just different categories of
- 26:33nerd like uh ben is ben is a uh camera nerd i'm
- 26:38a animal nerd uh angela is a sign language nerd
- 26:45anyways i think we're all dodging the question
- 26:53um of what we think the real shadow figures truly
- 26:58are because i don't think think we dodged the
- 27:01question because we kind of discussed it like
- 27:03yeah we discussed like what it could be it's
- 27:06not like we're ever gonna really know what they
- 27:08are yeah because unless we get dead and then
- 27:11we become a shadow figure and then we're like
- 27:13oh now i truly understand what a shadow figure
- 27:15is i am one of them but like in my head like
- 27:19shadow figures are like the lowest on the hierarchy
- 27:22of like spirits that could present themselves
- 27:26in a visual way So, like, if you're that low
- 27:30on the hierarchy, would you even know what you
- 27:34are? I don't find that true. Because, like, there's
- 27:37still a form that you can see. I don't know.
- 27:41We'll talk about it at a different time. Maybe
- 27:43that'd be my next topic. Hierarchies. All right.
- 27:48And I think Ben's still like, we still haven't
- 27:52answered the question. No, I... I haven't because,
- 27:58listen, I don't... I'm just sitting here throwing
- 28:02out theories. I don't think any one theory is
- 28:05more or less accurate. I feel like it's a hard
- 28:10question to answer because I feel like each situation
- 28:13we have, we've had a shadow figure experience.
- 28:18It's like a different experience. It's a different
- 28:21entity. It's hard to say what, like... what it
- 28:26is and what's causing it and that's the hard
- 28:28thing with it being a shadow figure is like we
- 28:31can't tell what it is like it has no definition
- 28:37so i think it's it's one of those what a shadow
- 28:42figure is is constantly changing on each experience
- 28:46so so it's a shapeshifter no Sorry, that's not
- 28:54all I got out of that. That was very well stated.
- 28:56If it is a shadow, can they change their shadow
- 29:00shape? Could it be a shadow shifter? Well, see,
- 29:03that's the thing. Is it a shadow of an apparition?
- 29:07Or is a shadow figure an actual being and not
- 29:12a shadow? Yeah. The world will never know. I
- 29:16don't think I've seen or heard of a circumstance
- 29:19where a shadow figure has, like... changed its
- 29:22form but i don't know and that's a good question
- 29:25if any of you guys have seen a shadow change
- 29:27in form i want to know at that point if it changes
- 29:32form and is no longer a figure and is something
- 29:36more identifiable it has crossed the realm from
- 29:40being a shadow figure into an apparition too
- 29:43much too much I thought this was going to be
- 29:47a simple episode. I thought we were going to
- 29:49get on here and be like, yeah, we've had some
- 29:51experiences. I don't know what Shadow Figure
- 29:53is. Okay. 32 minute episode. We're done. This
- 29:58is deep, my bros. It might still be 32 minutes.
- 30:03I'm going to do my best to get it to be 32 minutes.
- 30:05Just for the gag. Just for the bit. This is a
- 30:12podcast full of bits. One bit after another.
- 30:18Undebunkable. Uncobunkable? Uncobunkable. Undebunkable.
- 30:29Here's a little bit, there's a little bit. And
- 30:31that's the real scandal at the heart of this
- 30:33podcast. Okay, Annie, before you do the outro,
- 30:38I still think you should put in the thing about
- 30:41me not pronouncing the... Jackalope. No, I'm
- 30:45not putting any... Jackaloping? You should. You
- 30:51should. Thanks for listening to this week's episode
