Something weird happened last night and I thought this might be an interesting place to mention it.
Last night my wife – who is about as pragmatic as they get - went downstairs to our basement and saw a shadow figure. My wife was on the landing about to go down 5 more steps. It was only about 6 feet away and it traversed about 10 feet left to right. It went from an area that did had a bit of light into an area in which there was absolutely none. She said it was a solid mass that she couldn’t see anything through.
No lights were on down there at the time. There are three windows. One is totally blocked and the other two are obscured. There are cars and other light sources in the neighborhood, and light coming in from upstairs. Also, I am renovating that basement and it is stripped right down to the concrete walls. The only things in there are lumber and tools. It’s pretty much wide open.
I’ve heard of Pareidolia, and I know there is an obscure term for seeing things out of the corner of your eye that has to do with the way your eyeballs are constructed. So, can anyone offer some ideas about this?
I’ve lived here for 17 years and have never had the slightest inkling of anything similar. I do not believe this place is haunted – what self-respecting entity would haunt a raised ranch? However, this is one of those cases where someone utterly credible saw something really odd and it had us both scratching our heads. WTF ?
