Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })When normal objects are arranged in a manner that resembles a monster. A character (usually a child) has heard a Ghost Story and is frightened that the monster described in said story will come for them. Later (always at night), during a thunderstorm, that character will see what is undoubtedly the shadow of the monster!... only it turns out to be several normal objects arranged so that it vaguely resembles the monster. How they got that way, we'll never know. This often pops up in kids' shows, and usually involves tree branches with no leaves (even if it's in a setting where It's Always Spring). Truth in Television to some extent. Impossible Shadow Puppets are often involved. See also Big Shadow, Little Creature. Contrast Shadow Discretion Shot. Compare Coincidental Accidental Disguise. May be used for a Pseudo Crisis Cliffhanger. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Examples: |

In the Tanker level of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Snake sees the silhouette of Vulcan Raven (who died in the last game), only for it to be caused by an action figure and some other junk someone left in front of a flashlight. | |

At the end of Pooh's Grand Adventure, a shadow of a monster which may be the Skullasaurus approaches Rabbit, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore with a stomping sound, but at last second the shadow changes shape and it is revealed to be Christopher Robin. This makes more sense when it is later revealed that much of the film was shown Through the Eyes of Madness. | |

Subverted AND played straight in the Jimmy Two-Shoes episode "Jimmy, Dont Be A Hero", when Lucius thinks he sees Jimmy in his room at night, it turns out to be a coat rack, but later in the episode, the same thing happens, and this time it really IS Jimmy, creepily watching Lucius while he sleeps. | |
