I would see them outside at night, but they would always be just far enough out of visual range that I could get any kind of idea of what they were besides eyes and a faint outline that would indicate a shorter entity.

They claim that our eyes would just be treated a slightly different than they are.

We talked to see things to our world. ... Welcome to Strange Familiers. How are you doing tonight, Allison?

I'm doing well.

Tonight I will be talking with John, who was on the show before, and he had a Bigfoot

story and a UFO story and a few other stories he shared with us.

And he mentioned at the time he had more stories.

And I think I spent probably a year or more going back and forth trying to get him scheduled again for another time.

And I finally got it done.

So he's going to tell us stories of these things he called the shades.

They were like little people with glowing eyes he saw throughout his childhood and even up until his 20s.

Did he come up with a name?

Yeah, he just started calling him the shades.

See, I've always found that fascinating, like the names that little kids give to things, like when they're unprompted and they have no reference point.

But he also has a static man citing some shadow people things.

An entity he called the copper man and

what sounds like maybe an earth elemental. So a variety of sightings from John, and we'll get

to him in just a second. Before we do, I want to thank our patrons. Thank you patrons. Strange
