On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show off by talking about Kyle's recent trip to New Orleans and Orange Beach. Also, Kyle's ongoing battle with the Texas heat, since his air conditioning system shut down over a week ago and the part required to fix it is not available for a few more days. After the break, Kyle brings up some more strange Shadow People/Shadow Being sightings. Was it a natural shadow? Your heightened imagination? Or a ghost? Maybe it was something that seems to be a spreading phenomenon—apparitions that are coming to be known as "shadow people" or "shadow beings." Perhaps this is an old phenomenon with a new name that is now being discussed more openly, in part thanks to the Internet. Or maybe it's a phenomenon that, for some reason, is manifesting with greater frequency and intensity now.

Those who are experiencing and studying the shadow people phenomenon say that these entities almost always used to be seen from the corner of the eye and very briefly. But more and more, people are beginning to see them straight on and for longer periods of time. Some experiencers testify that they have even seen eyes, usually red, on these shadow beings. The mysterious sightings have become a hot topic of conversion in paranormal chat rooms, message boards, and websites, and it is given widespread attention on paranormal talk radio. Several theories have been offered as to what shadow people are, and where they come from. What are they? A figment of Imagination? Ghosts? Demons? Astral Bodies? Time Travelers? Interdimensional Beings? Or Aliens?
