Shadow people are often described as sentient shadows, often taking on a human-like shape.  They are considered to be a scary sight by most who have experienced them.  This week, we explore this strange phenomenon.  We look at the history of shadow people, what science nerds say about the, cover a mess of stories, learn how shadow people are characterized, and speculate where these beings may be coming from.NOTE: Some people may consider this topic a bit occultish in nature and may not feel comfortable listening.  Further, parents are advised to use some description before letting their child listen in.SHOW NOTES:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_personIntervention: Skyler/Jessa (A&E television broadcast, Feb. 20, 2012).
