Author's Note: This story will be broken up into groups of entries. I feel it's the best way to convey the meaning.

I know this is the first entry in my journal, and normally it should be about something that happened today, but it won't be about today. I just remembered something that happened thirteen years ago. Something I probably should've kept repressed.

I saw one.

A bloody shadow-form. I don't know what the it was doing by my apartment building, but it was there. It was creepy, foreboding. Its eyes were the only part that stood out - a bright yellow. I swear, I could've been given a heart attack. But I survived. And thankfully, I haven't seen one since. I just hope it stays that way.

Second entry. Too much time in between, I know. But this is worth it. I decided to do some research on the shadow-form. My searches pointed me to - of all things - a Digimon site. I mean, c'mon! It's a kid's show! The only thing that anyone likes about it anymore is the card game!

But apparently there's more to it. The site I found had a section titled "Digimon Theory". I go into it, and BAM! Right there, there's posts about shadows. All of them similar to my encounter. The strangest thing, though, is that while everyone else was farther away from me, they all remember a similar event from 1991. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure we'll all find out. Together.

I can't believe how odd this is getting. A friend of mine from school - who I told about all of this - remembers something like that happening before too. This requires more research.

I'm getting him involved in this.

New Years' has come and gone. Nothing happened that was out of the ordinary. I guess that's a good thing.

Anyway, things are happening again. There's been a rash of sightings. It's getting a little hard to sort through all of them, but the eye colors are beginning to vary more. This may set back our research.

June 18, 2005

Things have calmed down again. I don't know why, but they suddenly stopped. Maybe it's because the site that all the research was on got wiped out by some hacker. I think we'll take advantage of this break and catch up on our research, though. We know we need to.

It's started again. Nearly full-force, too. At least three sightings in one week. Two were my own. One I could tell was right by me, but it left. The other, I could see interfering with light filtering into my room. That one left quickly as well.

I have no clue what this all means, but I have a feeling it's not going to let up any time soon. And I'm glad.

Because I think I finally figured out what they are.

They're just like in the last season of that Digimon show. A bunch of evil Digimon just appeared in the real world, but weren't really there. They appeared like shadows...

That would account for the varying forms we've seen.

I think they're Digimon.
