S1. Case 3: Shadow Man

Danny Robins hosts the visualised podcast for real-life supernatural encounters.

Shadow Man is the story of Julian, and his multiple encounters over many years with a tall dark figure with no face.

Julian loses his father when he’s a young child, and his mother when he’s a teenager, and the appearance of the terrifying shadow figure and other strange events seem bound up with his grief. But why then is the Shadow Man also seen by so many other people in his life, and in so many places?

Danny Robins delves deeper into Julian's story in this extended podcast episode, uncovering fresh evidence, new leads and surprising revelations about this case.

Assisting Danny in his search for answers are regular paranormal experts Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and Evelyn Hollow, who discuss the strange story of Shadow Man; witness Julian, who reveals more of his chilling encounters; and comedian and celebrity guest expert Bridget Christie, who shares her take on the story.
