Shadows on a dry creek bed. Taken in the north west of New South Wales.
Olha essa sombra, esse rastro de mim
Olha essa sobra, essa réstia de sol

Re-scanned this one to make it look better. The previous version was too red and low contrast. I've given up on trying to keep every last bit of detail in a negative. I think losing a bit of shadow and sometimes highlights makes the contrast look correct.
Backstage action: The puppeteers lit lamps, play music, sing songs and speak dialogues for the shadow puppets which dance in front of the transclucent white screen. A traditional shadow puppet performance from Kerala is called Tolpavakoothu. Leather-made puppets are placed in front of a white screen, while being lit by lamps placed in a row on the other side of the screen. Musicians and puppeteers stand backstage and maneouver the puppets with the aid of sticks attached to the slim leather figures.
This was taken after work. I saw this guy working in a ditch surrounded by a green mesh portable fence. He was using his hoe. I could tell by his movement and the hoe appearing on the top of the fence with each strike. His white hat was the only thing visible throughout. His body makes for a nice shadow. It looks like a "fist". The hat's contrast with the green and blackness of the shadow make this nice.
Sometimes the shadow people like to steal away for a little while and be affectionate. Bundi, India.
A man seem to be quite anxious about his shadow. Actually he got out of a room and the light outside was very white and bright, so he made a face and just turns the head to protect his eyes.
Nearly formless, Shadow Demons melt into the darkness to do their evil deeds.
Very obscure (ha ha!) among demonkind, Shadow Demons are nonetheless feared for their ability to strike terror into the hearts of men.
I didn't go with eerie but when I was I was out taking pictures of frost I saw these shadows and thought they'd work. I hope they fit the criteria.

I took this picture at the Ball der Technik, a social event from my university. This show was the midnight special at the ball. The group is called Shadow Dancers.
