Yeah, I saw this and had a laugh. I'll bet the bank that's a living person and not a shadowman.

Just the very first part of this video made me go "Pfft!!"
When its produced like this, it's usually B.S., sorry.

It looks like the shadow person is wearing combat boots.....As much as I'd like to believe, I think this is fake, especially since it was "made for TV".

My girlfriend, who is sane enough, has seen shadow people. Two cats, a gecko, and actual little people beckoning to her. This occurs when she is half-awake or in deep concentration, things will appear from her peripheral.

I've no reason not to believe her, as I've seen plenty of things in my life not to question the possibility.

My suggestion is, assume there is validity - if it means you'll actually do some research into this phenomena rather than watch Hollywood Fear TV shows.

Fear.... When it comes to people who claim to have trouble with spirits, Fear seems always to be the common denominator.

I have never had a problem with a "scary spirit". I have walked in to so called haunted places and said out loud "let me see you", "do your worst" and the like and felt no fear of not being in control of whatever situation might occure. I personally feel that most ghost experiences are due to people's over vivid imagination and ignorance.
However, I have been in some places and situations where I have had that "spooky feeling" and I do think that there is something out there that would be considered "from beyond the grave" but not neccasarily scary.
I believe that, like in life, there is good and evil energy out there in the ethereal. And, as it is in life, your strenghts and weaknesses will determine your (in life) victimization and (ethereal realm) hauntability <*my own word
I have felt as if a watchful spirit of kindness and love were watching over me on occasion. I have heard this referred to as your "Spirit Guide(s)". I would like to think these are the sirits of my friends, mentors and family who have died and really know the truth of "the afterlife". I have also felt an oppressive darkness which seems to want to have influence and interest over me on rare occasions. I feel this is the evil and darkness that is referred to as the negative part of the "ethereal" or unknown afterlife.

I do not let this scare, frighten or have influence over me.

I remember I read something about spirits and meditation. In this book they talked about the importance of not allowing this darkness into your mind or spirit. The author said to always "live in the light" and gave detail as to how to manage your thoughts and meditations to reinforce this mindset. It has always worked for me.
But more importantly I feel my upbringing has the most effect. I was fortunate to be raised in an eviroment of love, kindness, honesty, bravery in the face of aversion and so on. Thank you, Mom, Dad, my Grandparents,and Mentors!
Therefore.........
I fear no evil. I live in the light. I love and not hate. I seek to understand before desiring to be understood. I standup for what is right. I live by the Golden Rule.

Once again, Thank you all out there in "ATS land" for allowing me to CYBER babble
