Before the time there were caves and ruins, I thought the shadows are just your character's fiction, a metaphor of your fear. When people gets less sane they begin fearing darkness, fearing the unknown, and just anything. And fear can kill people, that's true.

You cannot prove their existance, for no one else, such as Abigail and pigs, can't see them.

And the nightmare fuel is just like your EXP points, like a metaphor that you overcame the fear and you got stronger. And the magic is something just something like that.

However, when the cave update came about, that the shadows are not fictions anymore. The ancient technology are based on these things, not monsters, not ghosts, some far darker than those things.
