Imagine you’re snuggled into bed, glass of water by your side, book in hand, phone on vibrate. Something across the room catches your eye. Movement, fast, a blur. Then you make out a distinct human shaped shadow move past the far wall. Was it a person? But no one else is home. Could it have been your imagination? Was it a ghost? Chances are it was another encounter with a spreading phenomenon – apparitions that’ve come to be known as shadow people or shadow beings. Go on TikTok or Instagram and you’ll see what I mean about widespread! Why has the occurrence become so common as of late? Is it because experiencers are less stigmatized and ostracized so they are telling their stories more often? Could be. Or are these shadow beings somehow connected with the collective consciousness and the tumultuous times since March 2020 have been a perfect Petri dish to create many more shadow people? We will also dive into the strange link between shadow people and sleep paralysis!
In the episode I also tell you about the recent Jinn sighting I had at the grocery store. I kid you not.
