Edward Karinen's comment on 2013-09-09 23:44:16:

It is not distinctive here that the shadow of Peter heals anyone. They, the people, saw a lot of healing going on in Acts 15 that they hoped it to be so that they brought all into the streets that were sick to be healed. It does not state the shadow of Peter healed them, but it is possible by God for it to happen. Although, you will not find in the Gospels where anyone was healed by the shadow of Christ.
