Trivia
When Mulder and Scully are in the library, if you look at the newspaper report, above the story of Howard Graves' suicide there is an article about a killer who extracts his victim's livers and escapes from impossible locations. This is a reference to Eugene Tooms from Squeeze (1993).

Goofs
When Mulder breathes on the glasses to reveal the fingerprints, they show up as black. Unless Mulder's mouth is full of fingerprint powder, the fingerprints should have been white.

Quotes
Mulder: Do you believe in the afterlife, Scully?
Scully: I'd settle for a life in this one.

Another X Files 101

Apart from UFO's and aliens not being in it, "Shadows" is one of those perfect template X Files episodes. Good MOTW, good secondary characters, plot is alright, the threat is there, the plotting is good.... good all around. Not much more to say, since I don't remember the details.
