What is Schattenwesen?
1.
shaht-ten-ves-en
A fake German loan word (cuz it was coined by an English-speaking American) that means a Shadow Person. It's a combo. of the German words Schatten (shadow) and Wesen (being). It was created to fit the pattern of names for spirits being German loan words.
I nearly shit my pants when I thought I saw a schattenwesen out the window, but it was just my brother.
