Shadow People
Shadow people are all the rage within the paranormal community. In fact, shadow figures are the most commonly reported apparitional entity form in the paranormal. Opinions vary as to the identity of these beings. Some believe these entities are inter-dimensional beings that slip into our realm on occasion but live primarily in another dimension or another time. Others believe they are departed human spirits while some feel that they are demonic beings. We here at CPR believe these beings to be demonic.
The vast majority of paranormal researchers subscribe to ghost theory logic and attempt to validate the same by using the scientific method. Objectivity is completely lost as the average paranormal investigator or ghost hunter supposes a human soul, condition or state of affairs to require or imply as an antecedent condition. In other words, there is a context through which collected data is interpreted… a context given so much weight, the probability of such an entity being something than a disembodied human being such as an inter-dimensional being, or perhaps a demon is extremely low or ruled out.
Our view of reality is the lens through which we interpret and live life. Whether you believe in God or not, we can all agree that good and evil are not abstract ideas or concepts. The Bible teaches that God created angels en masse before He created man. The universe was first populated by spirit beings…beings that were never human. Certain of the angel s fell from grace and oppose their Creator in both word and in deed. Just as there are good and evil people, there are good and evil spirit beings. Acknowledging the existence of spirit beings is an integral part of the equation.
Serious investigators seek the approval of the scientific community by unwavering faith in the scientific method. The scientific method alone has proven to be insufficient for interpreting paranormal data. This route for legitimacy dismisses a key aspect of the spirit world - unseen spirit beings that were never human. Science is not, across the board, as honest as many make it out to be. The integrity of the required presupposition of honesty on reporting data is compromised as many scientists have personal bias against a providential God who is actively involved with His creation. With this being the case, the scientific method collapses. We run the risk of being overly simplistic here as going into ethical, metaphysical and epistemological presuppositions of the researcher are outside the scope of this article. That said the corpus of paranormal evidence is quite extensive. The author has collected a substantial amount over the years, and his experience has taught him that no amount of scientific evidence rule out what he has learned about the nature of shadow beings.
Who or what are shadow people then? We will not entertain the notion of these beings being inter-dimensional time travelers as there is no evidence to support the reality of the same. We do not believe they are not souls of the departed. The late Ed Warren, famous religious demonologist, said that these entities are seen as restless self-absorbed loners to which we could not agree more. Humans, in contrast, are relational created in the image of a relational God. Although of no significant value to this article, I may, in the future, entertain the hypothesis that shadow figures or people maybe those who have given themselves over to Satan while awaiting judgment although there is very little if anything to go on. This will require further study and field research by the author.
Let us talk about ghost theory logic and turn upon its head one of the paranormal community’s basic principle: character and personality continuum. Here on out, I refer to the wisdom and research of an ordained minister, Mark Hunnemann, who had a supernatural experience from which he sought answers. There is no continuity associated with shadow people. If disembodied souls (shadow people) are the pure essence of a human being, what happened to the character and personality traits of these so-called deceased humans who live like shadow figures? Discontinuity raises a red flag as to the nature and identity of these entities. Why do they furtively move from shadow to shadow to avoid detection?
If you have ever been in the presence of a shadow person, you know they ooze with spiritual un-wellness and nakedness and are obvious slaves to furtive behavior. What is it that these figures are trying to hide? In life furtive behavior is a byproduct of fear, and fear is the dominate emotion expressed by these entities. Religious provocation, I found, forces an entity to acknowledge their identity - demonic. Shadow people are demons…they are Satan’s foot soldiers. Shadow people appear to be observers of humanity.
These entities, although varying in height, look and act the same. There is no diversity in character or personality …no essence of a person. There should be no loss of our vital aspects of consciousness while in a disembodied state according to ghost theory logic. Investigators explain away this loss with the notion of disorientation in the spirit world thus the need for an adjustment period to overcome the loss of these vital aspects of consciousness. Explanations like this are concrete evidence of one dismissing the biblical worldview not only to accommodate the scientific method but to support personal presuppositions as well.
We have seen that the dominate emotion of fear animates shadow people who are clearly characterized by spiritual un-wellness and apparent nakedness in some form. They are like cockroaches when exposed to light. Shine a flashlight on one and watch what happens. It will scurry away as fast as it hooves will take it. This nakedness, I believe, has everything to do with lack of holiness. Apart from fear, their emotional makeup is apparently limited to two other emotions – anger and rage. These figures erupt with unpredictable acts of anger and rage as data shows. They obviously possess both intelligence and will.
Such entities can bite, slap; punch, throw and scratch people and kill animals. The author has been attacked himself as attested to by his wife. Shadow people display the demonic trait of missing eyes or having glowing red eyes. Shadow figures illicit feelings of dread and fear to those who are in their presence. Profoundly noticeable are a lack of peace and/or spiritual sense of life with these entities. Their apparent fixation on the present (content of communication seemly fixed in the present) implies no hope in the future…quit possibly an indicator of an acute awareness of impending judgment (Matthew 8:29). The nature of shadow people, Satan’s foot soldiers, is a revealing expose on their rebellion.
