The Shadow Man – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 42

Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift, the podcast that delves into the eerie and mysterious. Join us as we explore spine-chilling encounters and listeners’ firsthand experiences with the unexplained. Have you ever had that unsettling feeling of catching something out of the corner of your eye? Or perhaps you’ve witnessed an unexplained movement when you’re alone in the house at night? We explore these uncharted territories of perception.

In this episode, we unravel the enigma of shadow people. These elusive dark figures have captured the imaginations of many, with numerous accounts describing their presence. Emerging from the shadows and lingering in darkness, they seem to play a tantalizing game of hide and seek, revealing themselves only momentarily. But why are they here? What compels these shadowy specters to interact with our world?

We delve into an intriguing story shared by one listener who, while working the night shift at a home improvement store, encountered something truly unsettling. As the wind howled through open bay doors, a sense of unease took hold. Amidst the chaos, a shadowy figure seemed to enter through the doors, leaving both workers bewildered. As the night progressed, the figure’s presence persisted, teasing the employees and defying explanation.

The story takes an eerie turn when security footage is examined. What was once dismissed as imagination now finds a tangible existence, as the camera captures faint, fleeting movements corresponding to the shadow’s appearances. It’s as if the entity is aware of its observers, inviting them into a mystifying dance between visibility and obscurity.

But the mystery deepens as the phenomenon spreads. Day shift workers report similar experiences, feeling the same unnerving presence lurking at the edges of perception. Is this entity malevolent, or is it merely seeking attention? The listener ponders whether they inadvertently invited this entity into their realm when they left the bay doors open.

Join us as we navigate this unsettling tale and explore the broader phenomenon of shadow people. Do you have your own encounter with the inexplicable? We invite you to share your stories with Paranormal Nightshift and become a part of our exploration into the unknown.

go bump in the night and your

00:00:10,920 –> 00:00:13,840
What is it that we see?
You know the feeling I’m talking

6
00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,800
about?
You’re having a conversation and

7
00:00:15,800 –> 00:00:18,120
then you think you see something
out of the corner of your eye.

8
00:00:18,640 –> 00:00:22,080
Or you’re sitting at the house
by yourself watching TV and you

9
00:00:22,080 –> 00:00:24,640
could swore that you just saw
something move in the kitchen.

10
00:00:25,400 –> 00:00:28,680
What are we seeing?
Why are there so many reports of

11
00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:32,009
shadow people?
Today’s story is one of many

12
00:00:32,009 –> 00:00:34,850
that have come in describing the
same phenomenon.

13
00:00:35,170 –> 00:00:39,770
This black shadow figure lurks
in the darkness, trying not to

14
00:00:39,770 –> 00:00:43,450
be seen, but it knows that you
can see it.

15
00:00:43,850 –> 00:00:47,250
It tends to move so that you
will see it.

16
00:00:47,810 –> 00:00:52,530
What are these rare phenomenons?
Well, let’s talk about today’s

17
00:00:52,530 –> 00:00:54,970
story.
Likes writes in I work for a

18
00:00:54,970 –> 00:00:58,090
large home improvement retailer
on 3rd shift.

19
00:00:58,560 –> 00:01:01,400
It’s an amazing job because it’s
just me and my buddy Ron.

20
00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:04,160
The two of us are the only
people that stock the store at

21
00:01:04,160 –> 00:01:07,600
night and it actually makes for
a pretty fun night at work.

22
00:01:07,600 –> 00:01:11,120
It was really hot over the
summer and we know we’re not

23
00:01:11,120 –> 00:01:15,360
supposed to, but we have those
big Bay doors and we’d go open

24
00:01:15,360 –> 00:01:18,320
the back big Bay doors just to
let some air into the building.

25
00:01:18,760 –> 00:01:21,480
It’s a lot of work loading and
unloading pallets.

26
00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:25,320
All night I was breaking down
this pallet and the wind just it

27
00:01:25,320 –> 00:01:29,110
blew violently through the door.
I blew a lot of things over and

28
00:01:29,110 –> 00:01:33,190
just was like a tornado was
happening inside the store

29
00:01:33,390 –> 00:01:36,790
physically moved me back.
Ron said that’s enough of that

30
00:01:36,790 –> 00:01:40,790
and closed the big Bay door.
But as he was closing it, I

31
00:01:40,790 –> 00:01:44,350
think I saw something.
It was like a shadow came into

32
00:01:44,350 –> 00:01:46,470
the door right as it was
closing.

33
00:01:47,150 –> 00:01:50,790
Ron kind of looked at me too.
Did did you see that too?

34
00:01:52,710 –> 00:01:55,670
But it’s like 2:00 in the
morning and we’re exhausted.

35
00:01:56,080 –> 00:01:58,800
And that windstorm, whatever
that was, that was weird, man.

36
00:01:59,120 –> 00:02:01,920
Never had that happen.
We both just decided to go back

37
00:02:01,920 –> 00:02:04,000
to work.
The rest of the night was really

38
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:06,480
weird.
Ron and I both kept calling each

39
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:08,000
other over the radio.
Man.

40
00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:10,199
I see you messing with me.
Dude, stop trying to scare me.

41
00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:13,120
I’m trying to work.
Hey, man, this isn’t funny, man.

42
00:02:13,440 –> 00:02:15,600
I know you’re going to jump out
and go Boo or something.

43
00:02:16,240 –> 00:02:18,080
Stop.
It’s not funny anymore, man.

44
00:02:18,400 –> 00:02:20,480
Dude, stop.
Seriously, it’s not cool

45
00:02:20,480 –> 00:02:22,800
anymore.
What are you talking about, man?

46
00:02:23,240 –> 00:02:24,840
I’m all the way over here in
Plumbing.

47
00:02:25,190 –> 00:02:26,230
You’re over there.
What?

48
00:02:26,230 –> 00:02:27,910
What are you even talking about,
man?

49
00:02:28,150 –> 00:02:30,630
I’m over here.
No, you’re not.

50
00:02:30,990 –> 00:02:34,270
I just saw you shadow man.
I just saw you pass by.

51
00:02:34,630 –> 00:02:37,150
I was getting frustrated.
And as the quote UN quote

52
00:02:37,150 –> 00:02:40,150
supervisor for the night, I
decided just to end it all.

53
00:02:40,150 –> 00:02:42,310
Once and for all.
I said, you know what?

54
00:02:42,390 –> 00:02:44,670
From here on out, we’ll just
work together, me and you, next

55
00:02:44,670 –> 00:02:46,150
to each other.
That way we don’t have to worry

56
00:02:46,150 –> 00:02:48,510
about us playing tricks on each
other, right?

57
00:02:48,910 –> 00:02:50,870
But then we both started to see
it.

58
00:02:51,550 –> 00:02:54,660
We both started to see it out of
the corner of our eye, this

59
00:02:54,660 –> 00:02:58,420
black shadow moving just enough
to where we could catch it.

60
00:02:58,420 –> 00:03:00,180
But when we turned our heads, it
was gone.

61
00:03:00,620 –> 00:03:04,780
As the quote UN quote manager, I
pulled up the camera and there

62
00:03:04,780 –> 00:03:07,300
it was.
Every time we thought we saw

63
00:03:07,300 –> 00:03:12,220
something, a little glitch, a
little blur on the camera, it

64
00:03:12,220 –> 00:03:14,900
would move.
It was playing peekaboo with us,

65
00:03:14,900 –> 00:03:17,780
for lack of a better word.
It was trying to scare us, but

66
00:03:17,780 –> 00:03:20,300
every time we turned it would
just dissipate.

67
00:03:20,300 –> 00:03:22,940
It would disappear.
Then the managers on day shift

68
00:03:22,940 –> 00:03:25,240
started complaining.
They would see it too.

69
00:03:25,840 –> 00:03:29,000
I don’t know what it is and I
don’t know how to get it out of

70
00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:31,680
the store, but we see it all the
time now.

71
00:03:32,120 –> 00:03:36,640
Just everybody reports seeing
this blur out of the corner of

72
00:03:36,640 –> 00:03:39,360
their eye.
Whatever it was, I think we let

73
00:03:39,360 –> 00:03:42,320
it in when we open the doors.
I’m not sure if it’s mean or

74
00:03:42,320 –> 00:03:44,920
malicious.
Nobody’s been attacked by it,

75
00:03:44,920 –> 00:03:48,440
but I feel like it knows that we
can see it every now and then.

76
00:03:48,840 –> 00:03:50,480
Maybe it’s trying to get our
attention.

77
00:03:51,150 –> 00:03:53,910
Whatever it was, I I think we
let it in when we left the door

78
00:03:53,910 –> 00:03:57,070
open and we just don’t know how
to get it out.

79
00:03:57,670 –> 00:04:01,110
Tell me in the comments so many
stories like this of these

80
00:04:01,430 –> 00:04:04,030
shadow people.
