Concerning moving shadows, I sincerely believe they exist. I don't think they have evil intentions, just that they are living in their world and once in awhile intrude into ours. Many educated people believe that there are parallel worlds which surround ours and at times, for unknown reasons, a doorway opens between these worlds, sometimes for a measurable moment and sometimes for a fleetingly swift contact. It has been speculated that the Bermuda Triangle** is a weak point in the field that surrounds every alternate world and that at times things enter and leave their world and appear for a time in ours. Wouldn't this explain the sightings of such things as the Flying Dutchman (an antique sailing ship) or the reports of monsters (here read Plesiasaurs, etc.) in various lakes or oceanic areas? Some people seem to more easily see the points of contact and more often the inhabitants of that world. When a person shares that ability publicly, we call that person a psychic or medium. Perhaps, for whatever reasons. at times passage into our world is not complete physically and what appears to us is in the form of what we see as a "shadow" For a person who is sensitive to "things from another world or dimension" but doesn't realise what they are seeing, it could be frightening. Perhaps some one should work with Maya to see if this is occurring with her. -- ** There seems to be many area similar to the Triangle spread over the world. I have read, if I can remember correctly, that there is at least twelve of these zones and that on a globe rods or sticks can be inserted at one of these to exit at another to create an even three dimensionable geometric form. There is said to be "The Japanese Triangle" and another near Madagascar. J P

I feel them, see them, black shadows, not evil just ther. Small ones Tall once. No Noice just beings. Would like explanation to what i see and feel? Not nuts, for sure fellings go back to childhood, when small could hear them talk.

Previously I have mentioned that one of the manifestations in my home is that items dissapear. If you are doing a small task (or even a big one!) and you set the tool you are using down, it is not there when you reach for it. Or, you need a certain tool and cannot find it, even though you thought you knew where it was. Luckily for me my wife has had the same thing happen to her. Otherwise I would question whether senility was settling in. Anyway. yesterday I need a razor cutter to remove plastic from some home - made hot houses. (I grow Geraniums as a hobby and they must be protected from freezes). I knew where it was as I had seen it a short time before. However when I looked there it was not present. My wife searched but got the same result. This morning I passed the box that we had searched and ... "Bingo!" guess what I found -- Yep! exacly. Now you can understand why my wife and I have create a phrase that fits : "If you can't find something, just wait until you are NOT looking for it and there it will be". J P

While watching a ghost hunting program recently the thought came to me that in order to capture a real paranormal sound an investigator must be well acquainted with the sounds of our world. Specifically, the sound being heard and recorded on this show sounded to me to be that made by a cat. While I am not an expert on cats, I share and have shared a home with (to me anyway) these remarkable animals. I used the word shared because no one ever owns a cat. Anyway, in the course of this co-inhabitation I have heard just about every sound issued by these felines. Sounds which I especially remember however came from visiting or roaming cats. The sounds made by one of these in heat is well ranging in volume and variety. Then to, there is the rukus raised by a cat who is afraid or ready to either attack or defend itself. These sounds have to be heard to be believed, but once you do you don't forget them. If you are not aware of the source it is easy at times to believe they came from a human in a highly charged or emotional state. Volume of course would vary by distance of the cat itself and several cats in chorus, happy or not, register the highest. Anyway, being aware of natural noises helps to isolate supernatural ones. One thing more, other inexplicable sounds often heard at sites being investigated could well be made by one or more animals other than a cat fleeing the area. Animals that live in houses or buildings range from tiny mice to larger rats and then on to such creatures as racoons, possums, squirrels, bats, owls and hawks. Just think for a moment what YOU would do as strangers invaded your home. Would you sneak away silently? Some would, others would create a racket. To sum up, make sure you don't jump to conclusions in your desire to capture an entities voice. J P
