Paranormal reports dating back many decades have been rife with sightings of shadowy figures (literally) that have visited witnesses. These have largely been lumped into categories including the Hatman, Slenderman, and the more generic, ubiquitous “shadow people.” Most such encounters are described as being unpleasant or at least disturbing. One thing they all share in common is that they seem to resemble the general shape or outline of a human figure. But while far less commonly reported, these are not the only types of shadowy figures being observed. Sometimes they take the form of animals as well, including common housepets. This is a subject that I have hesitated to cover for some time, but given events that have transpired over the past couple of years, I decided to dive in and do some research to report on it.
