If you were in a cave you could likely, with enough time, through looking at the shadows, learn that they are shadows. Secondly, any person would feel chains, they would be aware of senses beyond that of the cave. The question, I guess, is "is there a reality beyond ours we don't know about". Honestly, it doesn't really matter. It apparently can't be seen, observed, and doesn't appear to effect our physical world in any shape or way, so it may as well not exist, even if it does. Asides, you can make assumptions all day "oh, this could exist!", and you can make them as well put as you want, but until you have reason to suspect that the things are true, all you are is someone making up stories.
