In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, host Bennett Tanton delves into the phenomenon of shadow people, exploring their cultural significance, the neuroscience behind human perception, and the implications of these encounters. The conversation is structured into five main sections, each addressing different aspects of shadow people, from the science of vision to global reports and the nature of observation. Tanton encourages listeners to reconsider their understanding of reality and the unseen entities that may inhabit it.

15
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.079
You ever ketch something move in the corner of your eye,

16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.760
snap your head toward it, and there's nothing there. Not

17
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.680
a curtain, no, not a pet, not a car outside,

18
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.040
just that heavy feeling that something was standing there watching

19
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:28.799
you until you look directly at it. Hey, everybody, Welcome

20
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.400
back to Broadcasting Seeds. I am your host, Bennett Tanton,

21
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.120
and tonight we are going to talk about the thing

22
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:43.920
most people laugh off to stay sane. Shadow people. Not

23
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.040
as a cheap horror trope, not as a sleep paralysis meme.

24
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.959
We're going to treat them like a serious data point

25
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.599
in a very broken reality. Because here's the question that

26
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:03.120
has people gnawing that it's been gnawing at me. What

27
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:08.319
if shadow people are not ghosts in the classical sense.

28
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:14.919
What if they're not demons in the movie sense. What

29
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.759
if what people keep seeing in the corner of their

30
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.199
vision is actually a glitch in how the human brain

31
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:29.120
renders reality. Think about it. Your eyes do not feed

32
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.639
your brain a live stream. The brain takes fragmented light,

33
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:40.000
electrical noise, and delayed input and then builds a believable

34
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.199
world on top of it. It fills in the blind spots,

35
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:52.759
It edits out details it thinks are unimportant. It delays

36
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.280
what you see so your consciousness can stitch it all

37
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:02.719
together into a smooth video, which means you and I

38
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:09.759
are always a little bit behind what is really happening. Now,

39
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.560
imagine something that is not behind, something that moves faster

40
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.960
than that delay, something that just lives just a fraction

41
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.639
of a second outside the neat little timeline that your

42
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:32.719
brain irons out. Okay, maybe that is why you only

43
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.319
catch them in the periphery. Maybe that is why the

44
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:44.520
moment you lock you lock on with full conscious attention,

45
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:51.120
they just vanish. Not because they disappeared, but because your

46
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:56.199
brain just overwrote them with something safer for your protection

47
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.159
or soul, we are told, here's the part that adds

48
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.039
even more weight. People have described these things across cultures

49
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:15.560
and across centuries. Featureless silhouettes at the foot of the bed,

50
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.240
a tall man with the hat standing in a doorway

51
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.360
at three am, thin ink black figures watching from the hallway,

52
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.360
from the closet, from the edge of the road at night.

53
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:37.800
The report spike with sleep paralysis, high stress, a cult experimentation,

54
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.720
weird electromagnetic environments, and during times when people feel like

55
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.959
they are under spiritual attack. This is an odd pattern

56
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.920
for something we are supposed to dismiss as a trick

57
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.079
of the eyes. So in this episode we are going

58
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.839
to pull on that thread a little, not to scare

59
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.240
you for fun, but to ask some hard questions about

60
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.920
what it means if even five percent of those encounters

61
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:13.439
are exactly what they feel like, not dreams, not hallucinations,

62
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:19.079
and not your imagination, but encounters with something that should

63
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:24.399
not be visible in our world at all. Here's how

64
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.000
we are going to break this down tonight. In section one,

65
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:33.319
we will dig into the vision matrix matrix itself, how

66
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.040
your brain really constructs reality and where the natural blind

67
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.600
spots and glitches live. We're going we're not going to

68
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.279
textbook on this. We are going to stay in normal

69
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.879
language and talk about what it means for that feeling

70
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.439
that you are not alone in the room. In section two,

71
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.759
we will walk through real world reports of shadow people

72
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:04.399
and their cousins from different cultures the hat Man gin

73
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:11.800
described as living shadows, night watchers, bedroom sentinels, hallway figures.

74
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.439
We will look at patterns, common details, and what start

75
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.360
to emerge when you line them up side by side.

76
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.639
In section three, we will go into the deep end,

77
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:32.040
spiritual warfare, altered states, military and high strangeness locations, and

78
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:38.639
possibly what we call shadow entities are not the glitch

79
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.879
at all. Maybe we are the glitch. Maybe we are

80
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.439
the ones wandering through a space that belongs to something else,

81
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:52.199
and every now and then the system misfires and we

82
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:57.519
see each other as always. The point of broadcasting season

83
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.720
is not to tell you what to think. It is

84
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.759
to hand you the shovel and say, here is where

85
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.600
to start digging. If this kind of conversation lights you up,

86
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.319
helps you feel less crazy about the world things, the

87
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.959
weird things you have experienced, or just gives you a

88
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.800
fresh angle on the unseen, please take a second and like, share,

89
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:24.360
and review the podcast. This is how the show grows,

90
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.319
how more people find it, and how we keep building

91
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.560
a community of people who are not afraid of the

92
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.959
questions everyone else avoids. All right, get comfortable, dim the

93
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:44.160
lights if you want to make this extra weird, and

94
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:49.759
maybe pay attention to that corner of the room you

95
00:07:49.959 --> 00:08:02.879
usually ignore. Section one, the vision matrix, living one frame behind.

96
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.800
All right, let's feel back the curtain on the very

97
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:15.120
thing we trust most, our eyes. We like to think

98
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.959
that seeing is believing. We tell kids that if they

99
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.720
didn't see it with their own eyes, it didn't happen.

100
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.800
But the truth is your eyes are not giving you reality.

101
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:32.000
They're giving you a rendering interpretation that your brain thinks

102
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.879
you can handle. Science tells us. That visual information hits

103
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:41.559
the retina, travels the optic nerve, gets processed in multiple

104
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.799
layers of the brain, and eventually forms what we call

105
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:50.519
a picture. But here's the kicker. Your brain is always

106
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:57.159
about one hundred milliseconds behind the real world. That's a

107
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:02.000
tenth of a second, not long enough to notice when

108
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:09.639
life is calm, but long enough to completely miss something fast, subtle,

109
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.360
or not meant for you. Now, that delay creates a

110
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.879
small but powerful problem. You are navigating a world that

111
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.559
your brain already edited by the time you see it.

112
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.720
Your consciousness is like the world's worst football announcer calling

113
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.240
to play after the touchdown already happened. So what does

114
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:38.799
the brain do to keep us safe? Andsane? Frankly, it lies.

115
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.440
It fills in gaps, literally hallucinating part of your visual

116
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.120
field so you don't see the horror of a giant

117
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:53.559
blind spot where your optic nerve meets your retina. It's

118
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:58.759
smooths motion, so reality doesn't jitter like a bad security

119
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:06.320
camera feed deletes anything it deems irrelevant to survival. A

120
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.440
shadow flicker in your peripheral vision not helpful, so it's

121
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:17.960
gone a shape darker than darkness itself that shouldn't exist,

122
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.679
probably ignored unless you're vulnerable or your defenses are down.

123
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.399
Because the brain's number one job is to show you

124
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.320
the truth, it's to keep the truth from overwhelming you.

125
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.159
Because the brain's number one job is not to show

126
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.559
you the truth, it's to keep the truth from overwhelming you.

127
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:51.159
There's also the concept of binocular rivalry. When each I

128
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:56.279
see something different, the brain doesn't show both. It picks

129
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.080
one and censors the other. Think about it that your

130
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:08.240
brain literally chooses what version of reality you get. And

131
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:13.960
then there's predictive coding. The brain can constantly tries to

132
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:21.080
guess what's coming next. It Sometimes, if something appears that

133
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:27.039
doesn't match the prediction, like a human shaped void, the

134
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.559
brain panics and scrambles to force it into a category.

135
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.559
That's where things go wrong. You might glimpse a figure

136
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.919
standing in the doorway, no face, no texture, no detail,

137
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.039
and your brain can't categorize it as a person or

138
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.840
an animal or a lamp. It doesn't match any stored template.

139
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:55.000
So instead of showing you the anomaly, the brain attempts

140
00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:00.679
to erase or rewrite it. Too slow he saw it,

141
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.399
and that's when you snap your head and nothing's there.

142
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.559
Some reachers say, some researchers say all of this is true,

143
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:15.519
that beings don't exist. It says it's truth. Something is there,

144
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.279
and the brain is desperately trying to protect the illusion

145
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:25.679
of a clean, normal world. Something that moves before the

146
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:32.080
brain can edit, something that exists in the margin between frames,

147
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:39.960
something the rendered and the rendering engine wasn't designed to display. Okay, now,

148
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.279
if that all science sounds like sci fi, stick around,

149
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.159
because the next segment we're going to lay the science

150
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.639
down next to centuries of eyewitness accounts, and you'll see

151
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.759
that people separated by oceans and belief systems are describing

152
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:05.000
the same thing, a presence that watches, that stands, that

153
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.759
observes just outside the spotlight of human perception. And if

154
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.879
the whole world is seeing the same figure in the

155
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:22.720
same shadows, maybe the shadows aren't empty after all. Section two,

156
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:30.039
the global shadow watchers. Where science leaves gaps, stories fill them.

157
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:34.360
And the wild thing is the stories match every continent,

158
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:40.600
every era, every belief system. People see the same things.

159
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.639
Dark silhouettes shaped like humans but missing every human detail,

160
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.720
with no eyes, no mouth, no clothes, just avoid standing

161
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:57.399
where matter should be Let's start with the most infinitous one,

162
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:02.720
the hat man, A tall, broad shouldered figured wearing what

163
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.759
looks like a trench coat and a wide brimmed hat.

164
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:12.519
People report feeling paralyzed, this crushing sense of dread, the

165
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:19.360
hat man leaning in close like he's inspecting them. This

166
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.600
isn't a handful of cases. Thousands of reports from the

167
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:28.120
US to the Pilpy to the Philippines, all describing nearly

168
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:34.159
identical encounters. A nonprofit called the hat Man Project has

169
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.759
catalog many of them, and that's at the Hatmanproject dot com.

170
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.559
I'll put that in the show notes. Why would hallucinations

171
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.840
all wear the same hat? Then we move on to

172
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.840
the Gin in the Middle East. The Quran speaks of

173
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:59.080
beings made from smokeless fire, creatures that can shift between

174
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:04.960
worlds and remain unseen unless they choose to reveal themselves.

175
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.639
Many modern encounters describe the Gin not as fiery beings,

176
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:17.039
but shadowy forms. Locals will tell you these entities aren't passive.

177
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:22.639
They observe, they test, and they sometimes they even attack.

178
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:31.519
The night marchers and watchers. Indigenous cultures worldwide talk about

179
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.919
shadow guardians. The Choctaw Eight talked about a tall shadow

180
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:44.919
that stalks those with fear, the Hawaiian night marchers, dark warriors,

181
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:50.360
scene in formation, the cree shadow, people, spirits who hover

182
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.840
near the sick, or a spiritually wounded. These stories existed

183
00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:02.240
long before science gave us excuses like sleep paralysis, something

184
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:08.120
of which bedroom invaders. Millions of people across the globe,

185
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:13.480
especially during sleep paralysis, reports seeing a shadow at the

186
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:19.919
foot of the bed, a figure stepping onto their chest,

187
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:27.279
something whispering just outside comprehension. Sleep paralysis is a real

188
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:33.720
neurological event, yes, But does that automatically make everything seen

189
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.679
during it imaginary? Or is the paralysis the vulnerable moment

190
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:47.480
when the filter drops and you see, finally see what's

191
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.200
been standing there the whole time. Stanford research confirms sleep

192
00:16:52.240 --> 00:17:00.000
paralysis sufferers often report a felt presence in the room.

193
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:05.960
Where does a felt presence come from? If nothing is there?

194
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.720
The pattern emerges. Put all these accounts side by side,

195
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:18.000
and you get a consistent picture. They watch, They prefer

196
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.799
the edges of vision, They vanish when directly confronted. They

197
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:29.960
appear more during stress trauma, sleep issues, or spiritual warfare.

198
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.039
It's almost like they need your mind distracted, so they

199
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:41.160
can slip through unnoticed. People describe them like predators studying

200
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:48.960
prey our researchers, or researchers studying subjects. Because here's a

201
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.759
detail rarely talked about publicly. A huge number of shadow

202
00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.640
people's sightings happen near military bases, UFO hotspots, sit with

203
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:10.039
high EMF exposure, hospitals, prisons, battlegrounds, areas with deep occult history.

204
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:16.119
That's not random noise, that's a map. And if these

205
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.799
things go where fear, death and secrets gather done, what

206
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:30.200
exactly are they feeding on or protecting or preparing for?

207
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:41.400
Section three? Glitch in the veil? Who is watching the watchers?

208
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.559
All right? Deep breath, Because of the first two segments

209
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.720
were us circling the perimeter. This is where we step

210
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:57.119
inside the house. There's a theory in neuroscience that our

211
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.880
brain acts like a security filter, blocking information from conscious

212
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:11.079
from your conscious mind, they say it can't handle without breaking.

213
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:19.920
That includes entities outside the visible spectrum, dimensions not aligned

214
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:25.559
with our century range, energies, or beings moving faster than

215
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:31.200
our perception. Lag research and and for sound frequencies below

216
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:37.680
human hearing show that it can induce fear, dread, and

217
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:43.720
the sensation of a presence. Electromagnetic exposure near military testing

218
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:48.839
ranges have caused people to report shadow figures and watchers

219
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:54.759
long before TikTok made a trendy. Scientists say it's hallucination.

220
00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:00.720
But what if those environments simply peel back to filter.

221
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:06.400
What if the glitch isn't happening to them? What if

222
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.720
the glitch is happening to us? The Fourth Watch theory.

223
00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:16.440
Between three am and six am, what scripture calls the

224
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:22.720
Fourth Watch activities ramp up paranoia, night terrors, dark encounters,

225
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.920
shadow figures inching closer. Jesus walked on water in the

226
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.599
Fourth Watch. Demons recognized him in the law in the dark,

227
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:41.160
long before the Disciples did. Demons recognized him in the dark,

228
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:47.680
long before the Disciples did not. Metaphorically, Historically, when spiritual

229
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:54.039
warfare spikes, so do the shadows. The observer effect quantum

230
00:20:54.079 --> 00:21:00.920
physics tells us the act of observation changes reality. So

231
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:05.519
what happens when they observe us? Many witnesses described the

232
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.279
same reaction. The moment I noticed that it noticed me

233
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:17.079
noticing it. That's not a hallucination, that's an interaction. Predators watch,

234
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:24.839
scientists watch wardens watch, So which one are we dealing with?

235
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:33.839
Whistleblowers and battlefield sidings. Here's where it gets uncomfortable. Soldiers

236
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.720
deployed in conflict zones, Afghanistani rock even stateside training have

237
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:44.400
come forward saying they saw black silhouettes moving between tents,

238
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:52.160
shadow figures pacing the perimeter, entities standing motionless on ridgelines

239
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:59.279
at dusk. Classified incidents logs refer to them as dark watchers.

240
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:06.559
Par are anomalies, non human silhouettes. These are hardened warriors,

241
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:14.359
not jumpy tourists. Shadow sightings increase in places where death lingers, hospitals,

242
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:21.640
war zones, old ritual grounds, suicide locations, like they're attracted

243
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:31.480
to something. Energy suffering souls data about us. Frankly, we

244
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:38.079
don't know, but they're not random. Here's the hypothesis. Shadow

245
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:43.359
people aren't ghosts that show up after someone dies. They

246
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:48.960
show up before someone breaks. They appear when your fear

247
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:55.720
cracks a doorway, your brains filter fails, the veil thins

248
00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:01.440
under pressure, not to comfort, not to warn, to observe

249
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:05.359
the moment a human soul reaches it's a most vulnerable state,

250
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:11.119
like they're running tests on the system, which raises the

251
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:16.960
final question, are we the dominant species or are we

252
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:22.359
just the most confident one? Because while we're mapping, we're

253
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.640
mapped perfectly to this physical plane, shadow people seem mapped

254
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.480
to the next layer down, just out of sight. The

255
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.200
glitch isn't the darkness. The glitch is the brief moment

256
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.319
when our eyes reveal what the darkness is hiding. And

257
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:55.599
maybe those moments are increasing outro when the shadow, when

258
00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:00.519
the shadows notice you back so here we are took

259
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.960
a hard look at our own biology and learned we

260
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.160
don't see the world as it is. We see the

261
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.400
world as our brain allows. We followed the trail of

262
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:16.680
eyewitness accounts across centuries and found the same beings staring

263
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:21.319
back at us from every culture, and we stared into

264
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:26.599
the possibility that these things aren't glitches at all, that

265
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:31.319
maybe we are. Maybe humans are the anomaly, wandering through

266
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:37.279
a system built for something older, something hidden, something comfortable

267
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.759
in the darkness. And maybe those shadow forms that flicker

268
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.079
just out of sight aren't strangers. Maybe they've been here

269
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:52.759
the whole time, watching, studying, waiting for the moment we

270
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.440
finally see them. So tonight, when you turn off the lights,

271
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:01.480
when the house settles. When you're I start to relax

272
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:06.079
into the darkness, and you get that sudden electric feeling

273
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.920
that you are not alone. Maybe you don't brush it off,

274
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.640
maybe don't rationalize it away. Maybe the darkness isn't empty,

275
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:24.759
maybe it's crowded. And the real fear isn't that something

276
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:29.920
is standing there, It's that it has always been standing

277
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:35.160
there and you finally caught it in mid frame. If

278
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:38.599
this episode gave you something to think about, if it

279
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.079
made you feel a little less crazy about the weird

280
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.319
moments you've experienced, please take a quick second to like, share,

281
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.759
and follow, and leave a review for Broadcasting Seeds. That's

282
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.160
how this community grows, That's how we reach more people

283
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:58.759
who are walking, who are waking up to the unseen

284
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.039
side of our world. Thank you for being here with

285
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:07.799
me in the dark. Until next time, Stay curious, stay vigilant,

286
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:13.119
and pay attention to the shadows. They might be paying

287
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.359
attention and seize to you.

288
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:27.240
Before you even know you're there, Like the dogs thinking about.

289
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:33.039
You while you sleep.

290
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.759
I blink in the room, bells, the corners be arranged.

291
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.359
The eyes of our mind.

292
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:46.319
That is what it can explain, and silhouettes shinking with

293
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:50.240
the flicker of breath, stepping through the threshoulder side, and.

294
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:51.839
Death can't image.

295
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.279
The boy just stands still, like a hunger that waits

296
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:58.920
for the moment you chill, shadow stretch along when.

297
00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.720
You look away.

298
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.640
They move with intention, They study their prayer. Are they go?

299
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:10.319
Are we the glitch? Are we real.

300
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.680
Or just a twitch?

301
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.799
One frame behind.

302
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:23.000
They live in the delay, watching from the dog like

303
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.759
breader a place.

304
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.400
One frame behind.

305
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:36.400
They slip through the seas, checking every few you buried

306
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:43.079
in your dream.

307
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:46.920
Spring's a bad translator, missing what is real, fears a

308
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.079
batter instrument, shopping like Steve stuck in the blind spot,

309
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.039
faceless flood where they're already in the room, already there,

310
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.799
sinking to the flicker of the nervous bread every hard day,

311
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:04.599
lot attempts in death. They leaning close, wind defenses, drowned.

312
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.119
You send them rising when you're lying down. If we

313
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.640
see them, do they.

314
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:11.880
See a small.

315
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:19.920
If we wake up? What's behind the door? Unframed?

316
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:27.279
Be they live in delay, watch him from the dark

317
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:38.039
like breasators of l one frameblind, ugly chain of rain, shot.

318
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:46.960
Hold in the corner, all whispering your name, not hallucination,

319
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:58.960
not imagination, perception corruption, your vision malfunction, But just the moment.

320
00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:59.839
The filter break.

321
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:09.880
Who lives in the few consciousness, man one frame behind.

322
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.680
They wait, and then they feed on the man.

323
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.200
The moment you face.

324
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:29.400
Frame where dog watchers are. They notice you two, and you.
