[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, recently.  I was running the RAGNAR relay race a couple weekends ago, and the race involves each runner doing several runs, one of which is in the middle of the night.  Though other people are running at the same time, you are usually running by yourself.

My midnight-ish run was on a deserted country road near Antietam, MD, on a road surrounded by dense woods.  Other than the very occasional house, there was no light whatsoever - no streetlights.  Nothing.  The only illumination was from my headlamp and the headlights of occasional passing cars.

I was running up a hill and a car at the bottom of the hill, maybe 1/4 mile back, illuminated the road around me.  I saw my shadow - and the shadow of a man about a foot away from my shadow.  I am tall, slim, and had a ponytail and a visor.  My shadow was tall, slim and had a ponytail and visor.  The second shadow was stockier, slightly taller, with close-cropped hair and no hat/visor.  I assumed someone was behind me, preparing to pass me, so I turned around.

There was nobody there.  Not a soul.  Nobody there as far as I could see.  Nobody next to me.  Nobody in front of me.  No shape that could have produced that shadow - and it was still there.  I called out to ask, "Is someone there?"  Nothing.

I ran a seriously fast time that night because I was so freaked out.  I just wanted to finish my run and get the hell off that road.

Weirdly, an ex of mine is deployed overseas right now, and he is doing a bunch of "shadow" races - replicating the army ten-miler, half marathons, etc. on his Army base in Afghanistan - and he is built just like my shadow was.  I actually checked facebook after my run to make sure he hadn't died or something and was shadowing me. (No.)

2 lights will produce 2 shadows, different sizes, and the angle may have made the hat not visible in the shadow.
