You do make a very valid point, it was something I was thinking myself. There must be some cause behind this. I really doubt the heartless would be responsible. I think this might be a bit diabolical for them.

Doesn't it remind you of May? Maleficent attacked then trying to pull people into the darkness with shadows of people we know. Do you think this could be her again? I have asked around but no one seems to know where she is or what she might be doing.
