I think it's like something not important, overlooked, or not really there. Like the song lyrics:

Treat me like a prisoner,
Treat me like a fool.
Treat me like a loser,
Use me as a tool.
Face me 'til I'm hungry,
Push me in the cold.
Treat me like a criminal,
Just a shadow on the wall!

It means that there's a possibility of something happening very soon. It's usually a feeling of dread, as if someone is sneaking up on you but you saw their shadow on the wall.

I saw it with the meaning of a danger looming over somedy or something, a presentment that, despite the currently secure situation, a bad thing is round the corner.
Alles Gute!
