Cloak of Invisibility

Scientists are on their way to inventing a cloak of invisibility like in Harry Potter.  They've invented a synthetic fabric that can allow light to bend around an object, and if light is not bouncing off of an object then it can't be seen.  So the question is, are there objects around us that are already doing this?  Are there things right next to us that we can't see, simply because the light is not hitting it?  Like spirits or an alternate parallel universe?  Is it the same thing as the tree falling in the forest, if there is no one to see it is it not there?
