Thanks Tomkat! We definitely appreciate it...That's why we've spent a long time off air for the past month instead of just putting up a show that had no content or was lacking it enough where we had to use "filler"....not to say it doesn't happen, but we pride ourselves on trying to get the best information out there for the listeners and we definitely appreciate your kind comments...in fact, everyone's comments have been amazing. Thank you all for listening and showing your support. We'll try to hold up our end of the deal and keep bringing you amazing shows and guests.

From what I know Kimberly, these are demonic entities...possibly like recruiters for the darker side of things, or other, lower demons...I have seen them a few times in my years, mostly when I was opening back up, about the same time as seeing the Shadow People, but I knew there was a difference...Maybe this could be a topic of discussion for the show? If you listen to the show with Bishop Long, he also describes that when demons take on human form, it isn't always exact, and generally the eyes are what seem to be the hardest for them to hide...I guess the eyes truly are a window to the soul...

Hey Clarissa,
Thank you so much for the kind words...Due to life's constrictions, we're working on getting the next episode wrapped, but rest assured we have something good coming in the works... We may have to bump John Zaffis' interview, but we will indeed have another guest by next week so we can get back on air...
Thanks everyone for the support. We really appreciate it!
Tomy D

Paralore from myspace posted a question about demons and demonology especially surrounding the film "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and the case of Analise Michelle in Germany. This was my response to the initial inquiry:
I have lightly studied the case of Analise Michelle, and it is a truly heart-breaking tale...In the tradition of Thelema and Chaos Magicks, many demons are personifications of our own dark natures, our animalistic and carnal tendencies, so in order to truly conquer them, we have to search within ourselves and battle the sources of these demons...HOWEVER, in my limited experience in studying demonic infestation, oppression, and possession, I have come across cases where there truly is no medical / psychological issue present around or prior to the phenomenon, and outside of the perported activity, the clients did not show any signs of psychosis or disfunctional behaviour....I do believe that a lot of "demonic" cases can be attributed to natural causes or psycho-kinetic tendencies on the part of the clients, but there are a slim number of cases where I believe it is something different...Maybe not in the dogmatic sense of "demons" because almost every religion has it's own versions, but perhaps we are reading into an inter-dimensional rift which has opened and through which we are witnessing entities that come from some other time/space where earth's development lead to something different from the world we know.
::Content MODIFIED: Retraction:: As it was brought to my attention by Kimberly, the story of the natives not seeing the sailing vessels was simply that; a story. So with our intent to stop spreading dis-information, I retract my statement will allow this posting to continue here:
Perhaps our brains, our technology, our society isn't prepared to see beyond that which we currently consider the "true world", but does that mean we shouldn't believe that it is possible? If "science" can claim that there are a number of different dimensions, then why can't there be other evolutionary paths which have come to pass, and why is it impossible to believe that somehow the veil or divide which separates these dimensions can, on occasion, based upon natural reactions, allow interference and travel between these dimensions?
To the initial posed question, do I believe in exorcisms? The question is rather, do I believe it possible for these entities (interdimensional or demonic) can inhabit a human body...In my experience in this field, I would have to say yes. Does that mean that I believe that all psychosis is demonic, no, but if an exorcism can help certain people, then it has served a purpose, and perhaps given faith to someone who was in need of something more from life... It was her choice, and the choice of her family...It may not work for everyone, but we must all be accountable for ourselves and understand that perhaps her story truly was meant to show people that there is a world beyond what the status quo accepts...
What does anyone else think?

Thanks Greatmang and Lynette for your stories, please keep them coming. I would love to let this board be a MAJOR hub for any shadow person discussions and theories.
Mang, in response to your post, I would say it's very possible. If it was outside your nephew's room, has he shown any signs of being psychic/sensitive? Does he have any extra sensory perception or unusual abilities? If not, do you yourself have any of these abilities? These are generally my first questions as they may be able to answer up front whether or not it was a true "Shadow Person" but the robe seems consistent with some reports... Any other thoughts?

I agree... Dishonest investigating is if you are openly lying to a client or lying about your evidence. What sparked this comment though Rouge?

It is in my opinion, though all the case studies I have been able to research and collect since 2002 that there are three levels (or three tiers in the hierarchy) of Shadow People.
Tier 3, (Lowest Level) - Darters / Peepers = These entities are approximately three to four feet in height. They appear to be bi-pedal and wear cloaks when seen in direct line of sight. Their eyes glow with a red or green hue and they do not make any sounds. Like most other Shadow Person sightings, the encounter with these entities is accompanied by a sense of dread and the feeling of being watched. In my personal experiences, isolated EMF fields are NOT present during these overwhelming feelings, making it unlikely to be caused by electromagnetic interference. Sightings of these entities tend to lead to experiences with the more advanced / higher level Shadow People, and in few cases, have appeared to directly work with higher level Shadow People.
Tier 2, (Most Prevalent Sightings) - Shadow People = These entities appear when the client / subject is under great spiritual change, physical or mental duress, or psychic attack. They have also been seen around crop circles, or in some cases, seen in the homes of or around clients that are in some way related to governmental matters or under government surveillance. They are approximately 6 feet in height, have either glowing white or red eyes, or black holes where the eyes would be. They appear to be wearing a long jacket, like a duster or trench coat, dressed all in dark clothing (grey or black), and can be either Male or Female. Males generally have short black hair and the females have been seen with long blond or dark brown hair. Prior to the appearance of these entities, the witness tends to be filled with an overwhelming sense of dread or the feeling of being watched. When they appear, in most cases, they look like a fully physical human. Some witnesses report that they walk and move like normal people, while others claim that the entity can appear and disappear and move from place to place in the blink of an eye. Many people experiencing this type of phenomenon begin seeing them at a very young age (generally 3-12 years of age) and do not experience them again until later on in life (generally in their late teens/early 20's and again in their early 30's). Correlations can be drawn to periods of direct psychic/spiritual development as well as periods of physiological change. Others will experience Shadow People during periods where they are attempting to study the phenomenon, even if they have not had previous encounters with the entities. In most cases, manifestation begins with the appearance of movement in the peripheral vision and eventually comes into direct line of sight. Some witnesses claim that they feel as though they are being studied by these creatures, and even when seen in direct sight, the entities will continue to watch until the witness makes a move towards them or demands them to leave. Few reports that I have collected suggest that there is ANY verbal or telepathic communication between people and Shadow People.
Tier1, (Top of Hierarchy) - The Hat Men = These entities are the most iconic sighting of Shadow People. Hat Men generally are about 6 feet in height, appear to be wearing a long flowing coat (duster or trench coat) and have on a rimmed hat (bowler hat, fedora, cowboy hat depending on the sighting). These entities have the common sense of dread and being watched as all other Shadow People do, their eyes tend to either glow white or appear as darker "voids" where the eyes would be. Of all the cases of Hat Men that I have read and collected, these entities appear to be Male unlike tier 2 which appears to be of mixed gender. In two cases I have collected, these Hat Men have had discourse with the witnesses, seemingly to relate that they are "watching" the witnesses. In one case, the Tier 3 Shadows apparently came for the witness before the Hat Man interaction occurred. Other than these slight differences, the Hat Men have a lot of similarities in terms of the timing of the incidents and intent as the Tier 2 Shadow People. They are defined in form and detailed in terms of what witnesses can identify (clothing, some features, etc). The best description of how they look is either like a dark solid form, or almost like liquefied air (which can resemble an oil slick over water, then wrapped into a 3 dimensional form).
These classifications are the best determinations I could draw based upon the case files and reports that I have read coupled with my personal encounters. If anyone has more information that I may have missed or any ideas other than those expressed here, please feel free to share them on this board and let us know what you think. Otherwise, take this as food for thought, not as fact...These are just my opinions and I hope that others can validate or refute them.

Here is the place to discuss your theories on what Shadow People are. I will be posting on here often with my ideas, but don't hesitate to argue what's posted and present alternative ideas! It's about Research. It's about Answers!
