Shadow People

After his initial caller, art bell apparently got forty 500 emales from listeners talking about their experiences. And any super large number like that after a single phone call wouldn't be likely to happen if there was no underlying phenomenon. People have been seeing dark, shadowy silhouettes, including out of the corners of their eyes, all the way through history. So i don't think this is a case of art bell accidentally spawning a pop culture phenomenon that didn't exist before. Instead, it looks like art bell gave a new popular name to a phenomenon that has always been with us.
