Shadow Person. Need advice

[X_file]

We will be doing an investigation soon where the homeowner ( a police officer ) states he has actually seen what appears to be a shadow person, but this particular one seems to have a glow around it.
I have not heard of this before and was wondering if anyone had and what the theory was about the glow around it. Seems odd that a shadow would have a glow. I really try to get information ahead of time to help and try to explain to the homeowner what it is he may be experiencing.

Could be a shadow drawing energy from it's surroundings. I've never heard of this before but then again it's the paranormal and theres alot that isn't understood.Shadow beings are one of the most un-understood aspects of the paranormal yet. Alot of different theories abound about this phenomena, and it's my belief that they are a manifestation of ghost that may not be completely in this realm. A lurker type ghost, as it were.

I've never heard of this before either X. How often has your client seen it? If only once, it could be a number of things. It's worth investigating though. If you guys get pics or EVPs, please post them here (with your clients permission of course) so that we may all enjoy them and speculate as you know thats what we do : )
Thanks

Good or Evil?

One of the first questions people ask themselves when they are confronted with paranormal activity is "Is it good or evil?". Subconciously and often too frequently the answer they give themselves is "Of course it's evil, it just slammed a door!!"

This is usually an unfounded and biased decision based on dozens of scary movies, ghost stories around the fire and society's general lack of knowledge on the subject. Just because it's ghostly does not mean it's evil.

First off, typically you'll be confronted by what we call a "human spirit". This is the spirit of someone who was once alive, as you and I are alive. They were born on earth, they had a job, most likely a family, a dog, and most importantly, they died. For various reasons they are still hanging around. Now, because they were once alive they each have different personalities as you and I do. So, these spirits can be good or bad BUT NOT NECESSARILY EVIL. Fortunately the majority of us tend to be rather decent folks, but not all of us. The same goes for spirits. One spirit could have been a loving grandmother who is looking for her husband, or one could be a teen-aged punk who may be getting a kick out of scaring you.

Then there are the not-so-common type of spirits we call "non-human spirits". This is a spirit that never lived on the earth and is ALWAYS bad news and generally dangerous. The disturbing thing is that this type of spirit is brought to our realm through people who are meddling where they shouldn't. (ouija boards, seances, curses, devil worship, etc.)

Now that we know that there are only two general types and we know their mentalities, we can better identify them. Here's a quick breakdown:

Typical Human Spirit Activity:
- noises
- appearance of seemingly random objects (flashlights, rocks, money)
- an illuminated figure or part of a figure

Typical Non-Human Spirit Activity:
- whispering Voices - black shadowy figures
- violent acts against you (being hit, thrown, etc.)
- targeted paranormal activity (ie: you hate clowns, so the spirit moves the clown from room to room. You get the idea)

These are not all of the things to look for, but some of the most obvious signs to help you identify what type of spirit you're dealing with.

If you've got a non-human spirit, GET OUT and call TAPS asap.

I've seen shadow people through the yrs. but never one with a glow around it....my husband and I see a shadow person on our property and we are sure it is my late stepdad. One afternoon he appeared before my husband for several minutes.....it was a dark shadow but the same height and built as my stepdad and my husband began talking to him....then after a few minutes...he faded away. But in all the times we have seen shadows on our property and the times I have in the past, never a glow around one. I'd be very interested in why a glow around this shadow?
