Possession

One of the more common things said in stories is being possessed. Webster's Dictionary defines possession as "The act of having or taking into control," but I like to say the second definition. "Contol or occupancy of property without regard to ownership." That in my opinion is more accurate to the stories with Shadow Figures. The details that have been told of the effects and side effects that people had to deal with it just horrendous and terrifying.

Not a lot has been confirmed since this is just a local legend, but many throughout the years have come forward to tell their story of what they felt like being possessed. The list below is some of the experiences that people have gone through:

  • Seeing images of the past

  •  Shown Images of things people of the town believe are what the spirit has seen in their past lives.

  • The sensation of an out-of-body experience (Watching from afar) 

After Possession

 Multiple people who have been possessed have said different things about some of the side effects they have dealt with. It's theorized that the side effects depend on many different factors, such as:

  • How long you were paralyzed
