The Shadow Figure is the antagonist of the tenth Goosebumps book, The Ghost Next Door, and its accompanying television adaptation.
History
He started following Hannah Fairchild around, whispering her name and pointing at her. He would often vanish when Danny Anderson appeared, making her believe that Danny was a ghost. He would also warn her to stay away.
Eventually, he revealed to Hannah that he is actually the ghost of Danny. Danny had gotten trapped in Mr. Chesney's house by a fire he helped start and Danny was destined to die in the fire, with Danny taking Shadow Danny's place in the Shadow Realm. When Hannah rescued Danny from the fire, he vanished forever.
In the TV episode, he has a more active role, teaching Hannah how to be a ghost. He also actively attempts to kill Danny, as he can't wait for him to die naturally.
