I look around for a while longer but could see nothing in the sky at all. We had unlimited vision for several miles so no bird or airplane could have gone out of sight that fast.

I went back to the parking area and looked at the area the shadow of the bird had covered. I marked the dimensions and measured it. The shadow measured 25 feet across. It is huge. I am absolutely thrilled thinking I had seen the shadow one of the huge birds that are seen once in a while.

I rushed back indoors and emailed the web site that records sightings of the huge birds to see if anyone else had seen the bird. They emailed back and said no one else had seen any huge birds in Oregon.

The next day I am sat out in the garage with another cup of tea and looking out the through the screen thinking about the huge bird I had seen the day before.

I am stunned! I sat frozen in my chair incomplete shock. There was no way I could have seen the bird's shadow on the ground! The two foot high wall blocks the view of the ground.

I sat there trying to understand how I had seen the ground. The bottom two feet of the wall made it impossible to see the ground from where I was sitting. I saw the ground the day before as if it was perfectly natural. I am thinking in complete shock that I would have had to be sitting two feet in the air to see the bird's shadow on the ground.

I had seen the Shadow of a Spirit Bird, a very huge spirit bird. There was no way I could have seen it only I had seen it. It had done it in such a way I knew it was a spirit bird and not a physical bird. I did not even know how to react. I had just seen the impossible. Numb is the best word to describe the feeling I had.

It was the same feeling of shock I had when I found out there had not been an Old Man working in the bookstore the night I had spent two hours talking to an Old Man.

Out of all my experiences the Shadow of the Spirit Bird and the Old Man who was not there are the only experiences that have shocked me to my core.

The Old Man set me on my life's path but I have yet to find a reason for the experience of the Shadow of the Spirit Bird.
