My mate has just moved in the last two weeks down to Sussex. He has a top floor flat in a 3 story building, and therefore the roof area, from where he likes to sit in the evening overlooking the main street below. He was on the phone to me this evening when he let out a yelp of shock. He says there was a pitch black shadow standing next to him, which he saw in his peripheral vision. He switched to a video call to show me there was nothing there to cast any shadows...no sheets, no trees, no higher buildings. I could see it was twilight, still a degree of blue in the sky, rather than black night.
It would be interesting to see if anything more happens to confirm this wasn't a mere illusion.
To feed the imagination in lieu of anything more concrete to add, I'll throw in the tantalising details that the flat was sold at a lot less than market value, as the previous owner wanted a quick sale. And that as our call progressed he received an email out of the blue from a family friend wishing them well down there as they didn't think they'd be seeing them again. He answered straight away to reassure this person they'd be back up here visiting and would invite her down as soon as. Maybe she was simply fishing for that reassurance. But the timing so proximate to the the dark apparition does invite speculation of a potential link. Might he soon receive bad news about her? Might she have had ominous presentiments about them? Of course ive not said that to him.
For whatever its worth, should it prove relevant later i looked at the time and deducted the number of minutes since the video call began and so place the shadow encounter at 9.28pm this evening, Sunday 25 July.
