Shadow People

Shadow people are paranormal shadow-like creatures that people usually see in their peripheral vision.  Reports suggest that they do not appear to reflect light and that their appearance is essentially a silhouette in black.

They usually have no discernible features beyond the general outline of their form.  However, shadow people have been reported to have shifted into a more human form and in these instances it is said that sometimes features such as glowing eyes and sometimes mouths or nostrils are discernible.

Reports of shadow people, sometimes called shadow folk, shadow men, or shadow beings, have many similarities with ghost sightings, so many similarities that many paranormal experts consider ghost and shadow people one and the same.

However, other experts disagree and claim that shadow people are a separate phenomenon from ghosts for a variety of reasons.

First, they claim that the movement of shadow people is said to be quick and jerky, sometimes with stops, starts, and changes of direction, not at all like the smooth floating motion often associated with ghost sighting.  This is apparently the primary reason they are usually seen out of the corner of the eye.

Second, some people report being able to discern that the shadow people are wearing a fedora style hat like a 1930’s-era gangster or a cloak.

Third, shadow people usually appear quite solid, unlike the ephemeral appearance of ghosts.

Fourth, there are very few reports of positive interactions with shadow people.

Unlike the friendly ghost sightings that are fairly common, encounters with shadow folk are almost always frightening or shocking.   In fact, even the experts that view shadow men as a subset of ghosts, usually concede that shadow men are a malignant beings.

The supporters of shadow people as a separate and unique phenomenon offer all sorts of speculation about the nature of shadow people using ideas from religion, parapsychology, metaphysics, and the occult.

One of the many ideas is that shadow people represent a Thought-form, ghost or demon that was created by extraordinary pain, suffering, and trauma in a dying persons life.  Others suggest that shadow folk have been purposefully summoned from another realm through black magic or other occult practices.

The fact that they do not seem to reflect light has led some to theorize that they are from an alternate universe with different laws of physics or perhaps they are caught in a trap between two physical universes.  David Icke has proposed that shadow people are related to Grey aliens, or to the Reptilian humanoids.

The theories about the nature of shadow people are almost endless, but they are certainly quarry that should only be sought out by experienced, well equipped ghost hunting teams – never by solo hunters.

    I lived in an old terraced house from birth to the time i was twenty years old many times i would see one of these black shadow beings standing at the top of the stairs just in sight the house was dark there was no electricity in the hallway for light so you had to go from the downstairs rooms up to the master bedroom before you could turn a light on it was always in the same place just at the top of the stairs, it was so black that it would stand out from the darkness around it but when you looked up at it, it would step back into the darkness, some nights i would be in bed sleeping when i would wake up and hear something come up the stairs from the bottom to the top, and it would always stop outside the bedroom door i would look at the clock it would always be three o’clock in the morning then i would fall back to sleep this would go on for four to five nights then stop for months, then start up all over again, one night i came home from work the clock’s had just gone back to GMT winter time i had to go up stairs to get ready to meet my girlfriend, this night my father said i would not go up those stairs to night if i was you he’s up there waiting,i was eighteen at the time and could not show that i was afraid so up i went as i went up my father closed the living room door which made it pitch black but i could not turn back and show myself to be a baby i went on up

    That depends on what you mean by “true” – most scientists look at paranormal studies as pseudo-science. But I’m sure if you talked to someone who has had an experience with ghosts, or shadow people they would tell you that – it is absolutely true!

  3. Jake says:

    The first comment was long and made no sense. The fact\’s are I have been seeing them now for a while. I will give the short version and it goes like this: The beings come at night and always in the dark. They enter through a bright white light and these beings are 7-8ft tall and are accommpanied by a smaller one around 6ft tall. The small ones tend to run and hide behind the TV, doors and wherever they can hide and peek their heads out to see if you\’re there. The tall ones will be cloaked with a hood, hat and may have red or yellow eyes. The ones I see have a hood and will stand over my bed and watch me sleep. They will paralyze you, where you cannot catch your breath or move and what you are seeing is real and somehow they steal your energy and once you break from it the shadows will run! Not disappear but run and run fast into the walls or other rooms. My girlfriend would see them outside on the balcony watching us as we were watching TV or whatever and then when we would see them they would duck and move over and the peak again. My girlfriend has never had these experience\’s. I have had them since I was a child. I have always seen ghosts and have seen them since I was like 5. Now, since 3 years a go, I moved to Greece from Chicago to work and started to deal with these which are not ghosts or demons and are not evil but creepy and very creepy! I have seen both ghosts and demons and have seen their wrath. I still have scars on my back from them. The shadow people are not this but maybe some kind of inter-dimentional beings and I have no idea why they watch us and how they pick those who they watch. I have more to tell if you want to talk. jtrader312@yahoo.com

    I have had an experience with a shadow person, face to face. Although it was a very short experience. I was asleep and wake up to one standing at my bedside. It did not move or make a sound. I got a great outline of him. It was a young mans outline, slender in size and his arms were behind his back. I was scared, rolled over and started praying. When I rolled back over he was gone. I was a teenager, no one in my house has a build like that. My door was shut,(and squeezes),window shut, and lived on the second story with no ledge. I believe. I’ve seen more than this. All my life except the past 8 years, not so much.

    I lived in a house were four of my family members seen a shadow person, I think that they are attracted to drama or distress because there was a lot in the household at the time. Since I have moved out and married I have not seen another one. The shadow man I saw was sitting on my sisters bed ( my sister and i shared a room, her bed was directly across from mine). I had just woke up and it was really late. The shadow man was sitting in almost a mediative state. It had no discernible features. The shadow person’s outlined looked male, very muscular and tall. The moment my eyes seen this shadow person my body froze in fear, i couldn’t move, breath, or scream for that matter. After a few seconds I pulled the cover over my head and yelled at my sister to get up and turn on the light. When she did the shadow person had left the room. The one my sister seen appeared late a night as well (she actually was the first to see a shadow person) She said she had just woke up and turned over to where she was facing my bed. in the middle of the, just in between my bed and hers she seen a shadow person crouched like, what she described as, a frog. Curious my sister wanted to know what this strange shadow was in the middle of the floor, so she leaned in for a closer look. When she did the shadow person moved backed in jerky manner. My sister description of the shadow man was almost the same as the one I had seen except for it’s pointy knees. This featured stood out more to her than any other. The other two were seen outside of our bedroom, one in the kitchen and the other in the hallway. One was seen by my uncle who said it was leaned up against a wall watching him sleep on the couch. My uncle described the same features. The last one that was seen was by my mom’s boyfriend at the time, this one was different because my mom’s boyfriend described the shadow person wearing a hat.

  9. Jeremy says:

    I’ve got two experiences with shadow people. 1) The first was at an apartment that I was occupying. It was late about 3:14 in the morning and I woke up feeling like someone was in the room with me, I was laying on my side I glanced over my shoulder and saw a dark figure that stood out in the darkness, the figure was directly at the foot end of my bed. I was so scared that I couldn’t move, I began to tear from my eyes and I tried to call out for help but the words wouldn’t come out. I had never been so scared in my life and couldn’t sleep that night and had trouble sleeping for about 2 weeks after that. 2) The second was a few moths later, after a strange dream that i had died and that my mother was holding my body and crying and I was watching all this in spirit form and I was trying to grab her and hug her and say that I’m right here in the dream. I remember waking up facing the wall and having the same feeling as I did the first time I saw a shadow person and once again I could not move; not even to see what was behind me, I couldn’t talk and I teared from my eyes again felt this intense fear that I’ve never felt except for these two experiences. I’m not the kind to get scared easily but I haven’t ever been scared or intimidated like this ever or to this day.

    it all started around the time i was in 4th grade. im 18 now, and was about 9 then. i mostly say this shadow figure in the corner of my eye. quite often, he was a hooded figure. when i would see him, i never felt fear. i felt okay. i wasnt scared, or afraid. seeing him doesnt happen that often anymore, he hasnt been around for a whille. but when i was younger, i would see him in the corner of my eye, and then would disapear. i remember the first time i saw him, i was sitting outside my house, writing in my journal, i was depressed, and sad. i looked up and saw him in the corner of my eye. one point he wasnt so fast, and i actually got to see him. he was a black sillouhette, hooded figure, i couldnt see his eyes, feet, neck or fingers. he just looked like he was floating. he was more black, but slightly smokey. i could slightly see through him. i ended up getting used to him, and then as i got older i started to gain psychic abilities. i would be able to feel a presence in the room, i ended up being very sensitive to presances in the room, and hearing woman screaming. started having nightmares, and psychic dreams. i havent seen the shadow figure in quite a long time, but i used to see him quite often. the psychic abilities have died down since i have last seen this shadow figure. i really want to know who and why these shadow figures come into play. what are they doing? are they evil? who are they? why are there here?

  11. Leah says:

    My experiences are of a hooded, cloaked figure. All black, no face can be distinguished. He is standing beside my bed and reaches for me. He tells me it is time for me to go with him, but without spoken words. It is as if I hear this in my mind, not with my ears. My instincts tell me that if I let him touch me, I will die. As he reaches for me, I am trying to scream but it takes all the strength I have to muster up a scream. In all the times he has visited me, he was only able to grab me one time. As he did I found the strength to scream. My whole family came running into my room because the scream was so loud. I had bruises made by a LEFT hand around the bicep of MY LEFT arm. There is no physical way I could have caused these bruises myself.

  12. Josh says:

    Leah,
    I had a somewhat similar experience when I was about 12 years old. I would be lying in bed asleep and half wake up, standing outside my window would be a figure that wasn’t so much shadow as it would seem to soak up the light around it giving it somewhat of a “smokey” look. It did nothing but stand there and stare and as it stood there it would seem to talk but use no words but the general meaning would come across as “I’m going to get you”/”I will get in there and get you” though lacking the cheesy connotation that goes with those phrases. As you said it was as if I could “hear this in my mind” I didn’t have any sense that I would necessarily die but it was there was a great deal of malevolence in the intent. This continued for about a week until it subsided. When the figure would turn I could make out what appeared to be human features but it was only in silhouette and very indistinguishable but I always had the sense/feeling it was male. I don’t subscribe to any of the theories of these being actual entities or Hypnagogia and I didn’t even know this was a common phenomenon until 2 years ago. But I figured why not add the data to the list.

    Are the creatures depicted in the Mothman Prophecies something considered Shadow People?

  14. Su says:

    I woke up at around 3am 2 yrs. ago. There was a thin jet black man (no face) with a hat & jacket on standing at the foot of my bed. I was terrified becuz I thought it was a burglar. I yelled out ‘oh my God’! Right after I yelled, he slowly disappeared. I then realized it was a shadow person. I knew about shadow people as my girlfriend and her husband had one in their house for a few years that showed up on a regular basis. I use to listen intently to them as they talked about what they saw and experienced.
    They finally got rid of it when we did a trip to Borneo on a scuba diving vacation. During part of the trip we stayed in a jungle village. While there we asked around for a local witch doctor. With a little persuasion, our divemaster took us into the jungle to this old woman’s small house. She spoke no English so our divemaster interpreted. We sat in a small circle on her kitchen floor. She did a long ritual in her native language. She said that she was familiar with shadow people and they (from what I could understand) were a different energy frequency and some lived parasitically among the trees. They were from another dimension. She cracked open two raw eggs. She showed us in the yolks were black dots, claiming this was an energy she pulled from them, to do a cleansing for my friend. She did some chanting and ritualistic type stuff. She then put the raw eggs in a plastic bag and told my friend to throw them into the jungle from our car and she would never be bothered again. My friend did this and that was 3 yrs. ago and she has never seen one again. So, a year later I had one experience with it showing up to my bed, without a doubt, I knew what it was.

    Shadow people are 100% real! I am not one to believe in stranger than strange things such as ghosts, aliens or Big Foot. I wouldn’t have believed these Shadow people stories either but I saw one and it TOUCHED me! In high school I stayed the night with a friend of mine in her trailer outside of town. Her mom was a drug addict that lived in her bedroom and never came out and they had no running water or electricity. I only found this out when I had already agreed to stay over. We left her house before the sun went down and returned later that night. She gave me a flash light and showed me to the spare room with a twin sized bed & nothing else. I fell asleep in complete darkness & woke up soon after because I could feel someone watching me. Never had that feeling while sleeping before this. I opened my eyes and in the pitch black I could clearly see a darker than dark figure of a man. He stood 6 feet tall had broad shoulder and sort of hunched over watching me. I didn’t see red eyes like others had mentioned. I laid there looking right back thinking “is this real, am I dreaming”, Then it moved and I could now see it’s shoulders rising up and down like it was taking deep breaths but I couldn’t hear it. The only thing I could think to do was to close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I still felt it standing there as I dared myself to take another peek. Then I sensed it slowly getting closer. This was a “sense” I didn’t know I had before now. All the sudden it put it’s ice cold finger in my ear!!! I’m pretty sure it was his finger. I quickly swatted at my ear and thew the blankets over my head and proceeded to play sleep. This time I gripped the covers tightly over my head & was so scared I forgot to breath and couldn’t feel my body anymore, just numb from head to toe. I laid there paralyzed with fear for what seemed to be a good hour. Finally I convinced myself to just jump up as quickly as possible, keep my head down (in fear of seeing it again) and run as fast as I could into my friends bed. I squeezed myself into her daybed, placed my head behind her back & waited for the sun to come up. When I felt there was enough light out I woke her up & told her about it. She said she had seen it also many times watching her sleep but never right next to her and never had it touched her.

    Years later when internet came around one of the first things I had done was look up ghost stories but none were like mine. Then I discovered what others were calling shadow people. People from all over had the same stories as mine, I was amazed. Then I found pictures drawn of what they saw & it was what I had also seen.

    These shadow people are real and I fear ever seeing another. This happened 14 years ago. I am now 30 and have always and will always sleep with my hallway light on.

    I once saw a shadow cat enter my apartment while I was bringing groceries in. I would have guessed it to be a cat if it hadn’t possessed this strange, opaque, darkness about it. In any event, I chalked up as some weird play on light and figured it to be a regular cat. I closed the door and followed it into my bedroom. After looking everywhere, I couldn’t find it. I took my flashlight out and looked in my closet, under my bed and then did a full sweep of the entire unit. I pretty much thought I was nuts.
    About three years later, I had a friend over. I had the door open to the apartment with the fan on; it was hot and I had no air conditioning. My friend was sitting on the couch at the time watching TV. After using the bathroom I walked into the den. Just about as I crossed the threshold, we both heard a jingling and saw this shadow cat, jump over the fan and run into the kitchen. We followed it in and both watch it disappear into the wall. This was very validating to me; we’re both nuts.

    When I was about 4 years old, me and my parents and brother moved to another house that was build around the 1930’s.
    I slept in the smallest room and sometimes when I couldn’t sleep, I would sit doen on my bed, open the curtain and stare into the night through my window.
    Then, out of nowhere, I felt 4 short taps on my left shoulder (tap, tap, tap) and when I turned around, I saw a big black figure with bright eyes and a hat. But the second I saw him, he was gone as well.
    I got so scared that I jumped back in bed and put the blanket over my head.

    I didn’t tell my parents because I thought they wouldn’t believe me, I told my brother though, and just like I thought, he made fun of me.
    A couple of months later, I couldn’t sleep, got out of bed and stared outside again. After a while, the same thing happened.
    I turned around and the figure was there and dissapeared again.
    I got so scared that ever since then I slept with the blanket over my head for 8 years.
    Next to just tapping my shoulder, it also talked to me, that’s why I’m not too sure if this was a shadow men. It had the looks, but I haven’t read anything about them talking to you.
    I will never forget what he said, although it still doesn’t make any sense to me. It said: “Beer, beer. Beer, beer. And if you open the bottle, then beer would rush out of it. Beer, beer.”
    Everytime when he said the word beer, it would tap my shoulder.
    It happened untill I was eight years old and thought that I would just not turn around anymore. And I didn’t. I felt the tapping one night, but I ignored it and when I didn’t felt it, I turned slowly and it was gone.

    I saw the figure again when I was 14. It was standing in the corner of my room but didn’t say anything or tap me this time.
    After that I never saw the figure again.
    I always thought about what the shadow an said to me. And the only link I could make is that the house we were living in, was build as houses for the workers at the local beer factory. I always thought he was the spirit of an old employe or something like that.

    I currently live with a shawdow person or people. Not sure how many. They appear differently to me, one is a male with a clean haircut and the other seen one is like the hooded charactor at the top of this page. Except no eyes or face, that goes for both of them, and energy waving off it’s body. I say energy, because I have seen an aura and they looked very simular. Except one,this one, was black!! The entire body was a black mass in fact. Void of any and all light. Imagine a ginger-breadman shape that was completely black. And had black energy waves all over it that moved away from the body in an outward motion. Like a magnet if you will, but not reconnecting. Just moving outward. Then again they might reconnect at some point but I was not able to see that! They have never caused us harm of any kind. But have been known to move things or hide them in different places.

    The first time I saw the hooded shadow person was about two years ago. I was in my dining room about to go to the living room. I must explain I live in Japan and have a typical Japanese home. That means a seating room with tatami-matt flooring and sliding doors that add to the rooms use of space. They use this room for serving guests tea and snacks. While talking over business, family or just any old conversation. This way the guest feels relaxed and calm. I turned the room into our master bedroom.

    On this particular day I had the doors wide open. It was a day of light rains and everyone was feeling a little drained. My daughter and I were watching a tv comedy program in the living room. My bedroom is connected to the living room. Which in turn is connected to the dinning room. There are no walls seperating the dinning room and living room. So it is easy to see into my room.

    My son hadn’t been feeling well and asked to lay down in my bed instead of going down the hall to his room. I agreed and he layed on my bed. Now my son has a bad habbit of sleeping at the end of the bed instead of the head. I get on to him many times about this. My wife thinks it’s because he slept on futon matts most of his childhood 0-8 years of age. Until I came into the family and bought regular beds. Now he was 12yrs. old and was still sleeping at the foot or the middle or whereever he wanted.

    Anyway, like I said I was in the dinning room about to go into the living room. When I saw my son sleeping at the foot of the bed. My first thought was “damn, again?” Then seeing him sleeping so soundly and peacefully I thought, “Wow, look at how peaceful he is” and just watched him for a moment longer. That’s when I looked at the top of his head. Then I saw something move. It was very subtle movement near the corner of the bed where his head was at. Then before I knew it, the hooded figure stood up. As if he had been squating down next to the bed and been watching my son very closely. When he rose up I was looking at it one on one. I was very surprised. And it lasted longer than any ghost I had seen in the past. Then just like that! It was gone. I couldn’t believe what I saw. I didn’t say anything to my daughter, she gets really scared when I tell her my ghost experiences. So I waited for my wife to return from shopping and I told her right away. I had no pior experience with this type before. And thought I must have made it up or something.

    Then a few days later my family and I were watching a Japanese tv show about ghost happenings here in Japan. They showed a situation where this shadow person was seen by this guy. I knew what it was immediatly! I had just seen it two days ago!! A commercial came on and I took the time to tell my son and daughter what happened. They were in shock at hearing this. Then the tv show came back on.

    In this case the man who saw this hooded figure would see it always next to an old person or really sick person. Now he had been staying at the hospital for some time undergoing treatment for something simular to cancer but not quite. A couple of days later that person would die. Eventually, he saw it following him. But amazingly he wasn’t harmed. He claims that it must have been the new trial medicine he had underwent days before his encounter. And the new medicine had worked for him. He didn’t see the shadow person again.

    That sparked everyone’s interrest and we made our son go for a check up that week! Of course nothing unusual came back and he hasn’t had any real sickness since then. I now know that they have no hand in our fate. But love our misery or sicknesses. My son was maybe protected by me and God’s special gift given to me.

    Since then I have seen like I said a clean and more human shadow person lurking around the house. But hasn’t frightened me like the hooded fellow. My opinion is… have faith in God and have none for the ghost or shadow people roaming the Earth. They don’t need a reason to be in a particular spot. Just a place that feels like home to them. If many people have seen the same ghost or figure, what you saw could be a demon pretending to be that person. It says so in the bible. Pray for all their souls that you see or hear about. And give them some peace. We could all use some of that!

    I currently live with a shawdow person or people. Not sure how many. They appear differently to me, one is a male with a clean haircut and the other seen one is like the hooded charactor at the top of this page. Except no eyes or face, that goes for both of them, and energy waving off it\’s body. I say energy, because I have seen an aura and they looked very simular. Except one,this one, was black!! The entire body was a black mass in fact. Void of any and all light. Imagine a ginger-breadman shape that was completely black. And had black energy waves all over it that moved away from the body in an outward motion. Like a magnet if you will, but not reconnecting. Just moving outward. Then again they might reconnect at some point but I was not able to see that! They have never caused us harm of any kind. But have been known to move things or hide them in different places.

    The first time I saw the hooded shadow person was about two years ago. I was in my dining room about to go to the living room. I must explain I live in Japan and have a typical Japanese home. That means a seating room with tatami-matt flooring and sliding doors that add to the rooms use of space. They use this room for serving guests tea and snacks. While talking over business, family or just any old conversation. This way the guest feels relaxed and calm. I turned the room into our master bedroom.

    On this particular day I had the doors wide open. It was a day of light rains and everyone was feeling a little drained. My daughter and I were watching a tv comedy program in the living room. My bedroom is connected to the living room. Which in turn is connected to the dinning room. There are no walls seperating the dinning room and living room. So it is easy to see into my room.

    My son hadn\’t been feeling well and asked to lay down in my bed instead of going down the hall to his room. I agreed and he layed on my bed. Now my son has a bad habbit of sleeping at the end of the bed instead of the head. I get on to him many times about this. My wife thinks it\’s because he slept on futon matts most of his childhood 0-8 years of age. Until I came into the family and bought regular beds. Now he was 12yrs. old and was still sleeping at the foot or the middle or whereever he wanted.

    Anyway, like I said I was in the dinning room about to go into the living room. When I saw my son sleeping at the foot of the bed. My first thought was \"damn, again?\" Then seeing him sleeping so soundly and peacefully I thought, \"Wow, look at how peaceful he is\" and just watched him for a moment longer. That\’s when I looked at the top of his head. Then I saw something move. It was very subtle movement near the corner of the bed where his head was at. Then before I knew it, the hooded figure stood up. As if he had been squating down next to the bed and been watching my son very closely. When he rose up I was looking at it one on one. I was very surprised. And it lasted longer than any ghost I had seen in the past. Then just like that! It was gone. I couldn\’t believe what I saw. I didn\’t say anything to my daughter, she gets really scared when I tell her my ghost experiences. So I waited for my wife to return from shopping and I told her right away. I had no pior experience with this type before. And thought I must have made it up or something.

    Then a few days later my family and I were watching a Japanese tv show about ghost happenings here in Japan. They showed a situation where this shadow person was seen by this guy. I knew what it was immediatly! I had just seen it two days ago!! A commercial came on and I took the time to tell my son and daughter what happened. They were in shock at hearing this. Then the tv show came back on.

    In this case the man who saw this hooded figure would see it always next to an old person or really sick person. Now he had been staying at the hospital for some time undergoing treatment for something simular to cancer but not quite. A couple of days later that person would die. Eventually, he saw it following him. But amazingly he wasn\’t harmed. He claims that it must have been the new trial medicine he had underwent days before his encounter. And the new medicine had worked for him. He didn\’t see the shadow person again.

    That sparked everyone\’s interrest and we made our son go for a check up that week! Of course nothing unusual came back and he hasn\’t had any real sickness since then. I now know that they have no hand in our fate. But love our misery or sicknesses. My son was maybe protected by me and God\’s special gift given to me.

  22. Tony says:

    i dont know but when i was a child i used to see these shadows out of the corner of my eyes and then it would be gone and i would always think that it was one of my toys until i got rid of all the toys in my room and i still saw it. i would alway dream into the future when i would have these exsperiances and its quite creepy thinking about it.

    Just last night, I was in the kitchen on my laptop at like 4am. Itd recently crashed and my dad fixed it for me. Everyone in the house was asleep and I knew where all of them were because I had just passed all the rooms to get to the kitchen. The only light was my laptop light. My dad came into the kitchen and it was so darkI could barely see him, he stood at the counter, silent. So I said something about doing updates for my computer, and he didnt answer. He then walked around the counter near the sink and put a pot on its side for a second and then back upright. And I just stared at him, then repeated myself and he didnt say anything. At that moment I heard this stool we have in our hallway being slide across the floor, I jumped and looked over, and my dad walked into the still dark kitchen, he said “Whatre you so paranoid about?”. I looked across the kitchen and the dark figure was still there, but now in front of the refrigerator, he was sortof crouched over on the corner. I told my dad of it right then, i guess he couldnt see it because he walked over in front of the refrigerator and it was still there until my dad just walked through it. It disappeared, but it didnt like vanish. Like all the darkness of it just dispersed. My dad turned on the light and nothing was out of the ordinary. I dont think the shadow person was trying to harm me or scare me. I think he mightve been observing something. Because he didnt even look at me, he didnt even flinch when I talked to him. He straight up, unmistakeably ignored me. Im not scared of him, I was just really shocked to see that it wasnt my dad.

    My last experience with a shadow person was a month ago. I had awoken to use the bathroom late at night, when I got back to bed, I remember pulling the covers on me and when I looked up, I saw the silhouette of what I felt was a male dark figure hovering above my bed, he wore a hat. I closed my eyes because I was terrified, when I opened them a few seconds later, the dark shadow figure was gone. I was really scared, it freaked me out and I woke up my husband to tell him what had happen. It takes a lot to scare me, and I was scared. For a week, I slept with the hall light on (I don’t like sleeping with lights on I need it dark but I did then.) I remember feeling for a week, angry, I fought with my daughter and got mad at my husband. I have had other exp with shadow people in the past but didn’t feel fear like I did this time. I have also had other type of experience but I will keep this post for the shadow man I saw. So anyway, I got tired of feeling dread, so after a week of sleeping with the hall light on, I told the thing what ever it was to “F*** off and don’t come back, I’m not going to let you scare me anymore.” After I said that, I wasn’t scared and didn’t feel the dread anymore. “Creepy, just creepy.”

  25. Liz says:

    I never had a good feeling when my husband and I visited my
    mother-in-law’s house. It was a detached red-brick, three-story home
    built in the latter part of the 19th century in the London,
    England suburb of Bromley. My husband knew his mother’s house made me
    feel uneasy, and he and his sister would often tease me that the top
    floor of the home was occupied by the ghost of a child. After being
    married for a number of years, however, and staying at my
    mother-in-law’s for holidays and summer vacation, the home grew on me
    and my uneasiness wore off.
    A few weeks before my husband and I moved to America, we stayed at his
    mother’s home after selling our flat. Often I would have to get up in
    the night to use the restroom, although I would often turn the lights on
    down the hall. One of the last nights we stayed in the home together, I
    got up in the night to use the restroom and left off the lights in the
    hallway. We were staying on the top floor and there were no ‘loos’
    except on the second floor. I walked down the small staircase and used
    the restroom. When I exited the loo, my eyes followed the staircase to
    the ground floor and into the old parlor room where yellow light was
    streaming into the bay window from the streetlamp outside and across the
    road. I noticed nothing unusual, until I saw something move. My eyes
    focused on the movement and my adrenalin response awakened me to full
    faculty as the movement was the distinct shape of a male figure from
    mid-chest up. I determined it was a male from the width of the chest and
    the shape of the head that seemed not to have hair. From my vantage
    point, he was upside down, as if he were standing outside the window
    looking in, casting the shadow into the parlor room from the bay window.
    My thoughts were, ‘Is it a burglar trying to see what goods he could
    steal?’, but the movement of his head was most unusual. It was very ‘jerky.’ His body did not
    move for the thirty or forty seconds I could stand to stare with my
    eyes wide open. His head seemed to move to the side and down, as if he
    were looking at something on the ground. I could not see hands reach up
    over his brow to cup his eyes in order to block the glare off the window
    so he could look inside the property properly. (Like a burglar who was trying to deflect the glare of the lamplight off the window. At this point, whatever
    it was, I did not have the courage to face. The feeling that accompanied
    this shadow man was one of deepest darkest fear, fear I had not felt
    before (and I had already been burgled at night while home alone in my
    bed). I silently, silently walked back up the stairs and pulled the
    duvet over my head and pulled my body in tight against my husband’s. I
    told him in a very frightened voice that I saw the shadow of a man in
    the bay window of the parlor room. My husband sleeps very heavily, but
    he awoke at the time, but did not seem alarmed. He told me to go back to
    bed.
    The next day I awoke knowing full well that I had actually seen that
    shadow man, and fully understanding that I had not dreamed it, my memory
    of it was distinct. I told my husband about it again and he said he
    never remembered me telling him about the shadow man during the night. I
    was determined to understand where the man would have had to have been
    standing in order to cast that particular shadow in the bay window of
    the parlor room. That night I asked my husband to exit the house and
    stand outside the window so that the street-lamp was the only light
    behind him. I turned off all of the lights and stood where his head
    would have had to have been in order for him to cast that shadow mid-way
    through the room. There was absolutely no way such a distinct shadow
    could have been cast in that room where I saw the shadow-man’s head
    move. My husband had to come inside the house and stand in the bay area of the window where the couch was located in order for him to cast the shadow where the shadow man cast his. I later understood the figure was a ‘shadow of a shadow,’ which was why he was upside-down from my vantage point. As I said before, there was absolutely NO WAY that light source could have created a shadow that fell as far into the room as it did unless the figure was well inside the parlor room.
    My husband and I had had one previous encounter with a presence in one of our old homes in Worcestershire, England, which I am sure awakened some sixth sense sensitivity. However, we never ‘saw’ anything.
    I could not explain the encounter with the shadow man any other way except there was a lot of sadness in my mother-in-law’s home for many years. As a side note, I believe there are demons or unembodied spirits that attempt to wreak havoc on families, and because they themselves are miserable, try to undermine our happiness here on earth. Three weeks after I saw this shadow figure, our family experienced an event that very nearly destroyed us and if we had let these unfortunate events get the better of us, many wonderful subsequent events would never have come to pass. While these ‘unfortunate events,’ were unfolding, I experienced spiritual experiences both very positive and very negative. I believe there were unseen opposing forces fighting for and against our family. I believe this shadow figure was a member of the opposing force. It was almost like he had ‘found a way in’ to destroy our family. His being in my mother-in-law’s home was a manifestation of that breach of security.

    I’ve also had personal experiences with shadow people, most have been the typical seeing them from my peripheral vision or the feeling of someone right behind you or staring at you as you leave a room in the house, i’ve even heard whispers and my name being called; but i will admit, one instace has stood out from the rest. I was a few yrs back, i was 17yrs old, it was the spring of 07, a regular uneventful night, my family and i were getting ready to wind down. I was in my room watching television and i got thirsty so i decided to go to the kitchen and get me a bottle of water. Well i walked down the hall and i heard my dad softly snoring through the door in his room and i head the shower runing which was an indication to me that my mother was taking shower. So i kept on going, making my way to the kitchen, i decided to just get a big cup of water with ice. So i filled it up and on my way back as i was in mid-step, and i mean as in swinging my right leg from the back, up to the front of my body to proceed to step, something abruptly stoped me. And i don’t mean that i put my foot down and stoped, no, i mean that it FELT like a glass wall was put infront of me and just as i was about to put my right leg forward it hit this ‘invisible thing’ and it knocked me off balance and i staggared back a bit by having to put my right foot back again. The impact made me spill a little bit of my water. I never took my eyes off from where i was going so when i staggered back i remember seeing this shadow pass me by, right in front of where i was going to pass, it was dark in my house but this thing was visibly DARKER, i could clearly make out a silouhette, it was of a woman with curly hair, about 5’3″ inches tall, it was from the side view that i seen her, as if she was walking by me from left to right. She disapreared through the wall and all of a sudden i could move forward again. I didn’t stay to see if she’d come back, I near ran to my room. When i heard my mom come out of the restroom i called her into my room and told her what happened. She didn’t know what to make out of it. I’ve always doubted these shadow people but that ‘physical aletercation’ sure changed my mind, but nothing quite similar like that has ever happened to me again.

  29. Sandra says:

    I’ve had an encounter with one of these beings before,
    this happened when I was about seven years old, my mom and I were talking to each other, she was standing in the kitchen in front of the stove and I was standing across from her in the dining room, out from the right corner of my eye came the being, very tall, I’d guess he’s probably about 6’1”-6’3” he walked with a brisk pace between the two of us towards my mother’s bedroom.

    He definitely seemed male to me, he was wearing a hat, and I could clearly see his nose, brow, and face shape from a side profile. This being was just inches from me when he passed by, I could have touched it if I wanted to, but I was quite shocked at what I saw and didn’t dare try.

    It was very strange how he walked too, because he didn’t float like a spirit, he moved his legs like a person has to, but he was able to smoothly glide his feet, it’s hard to describe but just imagine how someone glides across the floor when moon walking but this being went forwards instead of backwards. As he reached the bedroom doorway, he quickly sunk into the floor and disappeared.

    My mom and I both then looked at eachother, and when I gained a bit of composure I stuttered out ,’Did you just see that?!’ We then were on the subject of that the rest of the night, just trying to make sense of it. According to my mom, when the being passed us my face was paler than a ghost.

    My aunt also saw a shadow being in the same bedroom that the being I saw disappeared in, I didn’t witness this one firsthand but I was in my living room at the time. My aunt’s sighting was brief but strange nonetheless.
    According to her she entered the bedroom, and as she opened the door, she saw a dark being, human-shaped, no taller than a foot standing on the dresser, (he was facing her direction looking down as if trying to find something on top of the dresser)

    She definitely surprised the creature and it knew that it had been seen because it quickly shot it’s head up at her direction, turned to the left, and immediately hopped off the dresser and ran to the left of the room and disappeared into the wall. Right after she saw it she came to me and told me about it, she was surprised but she has had many encounters with spirits before so it wasn’t exactly something new to her.

    My two brothers and a family friend have also seen the taller shadow man that I have seen,I’ll post later when I have all of the deatils.

    Well,I thought I’d shed a little light from my experience, take from it what you may, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.

    Peace, Love, Amen

  30. Virginia Heether says:

    I have a question. My sister just got out of the hospital a week ago, on the last days she was in she was telling me of the shadow people (or flat people) she saw even while I was visiting her. This was after spending 10 days in ICU and on another floor she stated that they would be in her room not for long just come and go. They were not scary and she wasn’t frightened. My sister is very intiutive when it comes to spirits she has had visits from our mother and her mother inlaw and husband and being in the hospital where many people do die she just figured they hadn’t reached the place they needed to go.
    Both she and I would like to find more information on this subject. Can you tell me where I can find more information.

  31. robert says:

    Shadow people. Yep. I used to see them all the time. even talked to them on a few occasions. Haven’t seen them in a while though. Of course, It’s been quite a while since I was High on meth.

  32. Sheila says:

    My family has been living with shadow people for about 3 years now. I have a 3 year old daughter who wakes up looking around the room asking “Where did he go?”. We have had some unexplained “issues” happening since my daughter has been born. It has just recently got a little more active here. The day a tall man, with a hat, appeared at the bottom of my steps, I contacted a paranormal research team. They came out and apparantly, I have many shadows in my attic. I was instructed to not acknowledge them. I decided to do some research on the shadow people and, lo and behold, the man I saw standing at the bottom of my stairs is the man in the hat at the top of this page. I dont feel like they are trying to do any harm but Im not saying it doesnt bother me, either. Especially after reading some of these stories. 🙂

    For many years I have seen ghost like or shadow like images from the corners of my eyes. I had always believed it to be a problem with my vision. However, after much reading and several exams by my Ophthalmologist I have come to believe it is likely something other then a physical defect. I have resigned myself to the possibility that it might be Shadow people.

    as i was laying down on my bed facing up going sleep, i felt this presence over me just pining me to the bed.im a perty stong guy and what ever that was, was way stronger than me.i tried getting up as soon as i new something wasnt right but it had so much control of my body,i couldnt get up if my life depended on it. something was over me but not on me and it had a hold of me by my wrist,its weird cause i didnt feel not once any contact.like when your on a roller coaster and if you try putting your hands up the pressure of the wind throws straight back. i tried screaming but it wouldnt let me thats how bad i was being over powered.it lasted for at least 10-20 seconds before it released hold of me.the relief was like whoa what the f@#k was that.its just like standing in front of those high powered fans,you cant go no where but back but as soon as you turn it off your able to move.im not gonna lie it scared me,i felt powerless.

  36. Steve in Louisville, KY says:

    I am reading these stories and I am totally amazed. How can so many other people have the exact same experience as me? When I was 11 or 12 I used to see a shadow person at night in the basement of our house. I would have all the lights off, watching tv, and I would see this black shadow man stroll around my house. I say he was a man because his head was shaped as if he had a buzzcut or no hair at all. His arms and legs would just sort of fade into almost points near the hands and feet. He would appear downstairs at the foot of the steps like he walked down the stairs. He would just walk around and stop hear and there. He would seem to look at me time to time but I could not see his head turn. I even pointed him out to my sister one night. She asked, “Is he standing there with his arm sort of propprd up?” and I swear HE WAS! She just took off up the stairs. One night I was upstairs asleep in my room after my sister moved out. I moved from the basement to the main floor into her old room. I was sound asleep in a deep sleep and all of a sudden I had this feeling someone was in the room. I opened my eyes and about 2 inches from my face was this shadow figure’s face. He was face to face with me and I could clearly see the outline of his head going down to his neck RIGHT IN MY FACE! I gasped in fear and pulled the covers up over my head. As I was pulling the covers up I saw him pull back in an instant like he was shocked also. I feel he was trying to tell me something but to this day I have no idea what. I didn’t see him anymore nor did I see anymore shadow people until recently when we moved into another house in my old neighborhood. These are a little different though because they keep to the edges of my sight. What could these beings be? Who are they? Are they loved ones that have passed just kind of hanging around? I swear I think that shadow man was surprised he scared me.

  37. Greg says:

    Someone above put words to my shadow persons shape perfectly. He looked like a gingerbread man but mine also had a top hat of some sort…No hands or fingers the arms just ended in nubs….I could only see to it’s waist but overall it was a very large and imposing figure. Def there to frighten me, made very animated and violent gestures with its arms and seemed to be coming to me or even to me and over me if that makes sense…towards but rising at the same time, I only got two good looks cause i was too scared…I was 24 at the time, not a 5 year old kid getting creeped out..It was my last experience with a shadow but my first in a line of 4-5 paranormal experiences.

  38. Riley says:

    I had a brief encounter with a horrifying shadow image one early morning at about 3:00AM. I was sitting on a stoop outside my house having a cigarette and texting on my phone. Out of the corner of my eye to the left it looked as though a shadow just materialized out of nowhere. It wasn’t on a wall or the ground but right out in the open and it seemed as though it was looking away but when I focused my attention it turned to me. I dropped my cigarette, ran inside, got into bed and cried my eyes out for about an hour. I’m an ex-marine and I was paralyzed with fear. To be honest, I have goosebumbs from just recalling and typing out this ordeal.

  40. Chris says:

    I think we all agree in the point that these creatures are not some sort of a guardian angel or simply a mental hocus-pocus – up yours, arrogant scientific community!!!
    Carlos Castaneda outlined the existence of these beings. He – well, actually Don Juan – nicknamed these beings \"mudshadows\", an interdimensional alien race, if you will, that interferes with our lives. These are like amoeba, jumping around and leaping great distances and they latch into people\’s minds to control them. Akin to vampires, they suck energy (especially FEAR!!!) from their victims (anybody). It was actually quite a nasty thing that these creeps were mentioned in the very last chapter of Castaneda\’s very last book and Don Juan, who really did not take shit from anybody, simply admitted that we are totally defenceless against these things.
    Christian Gnosticism (the real teachings of Jesus Christ that have been violently suppressed by the satanic church of \"Jew-hovah\") talks – and warns – about a guardian race a.k.a. the Archons, who superimposed their reality of fear, famine and materialism, having us as their slaves, paying for that great work – sounds a little bit like our world, huh? This also has connections to the Babylonian Annunaki, but you can read about that on the Internet…
    Another interesting thing that sustains this sort of interdimensional vampirism is the work of Modi Shakuntala, MD.
    She did hypnotic regressions with their patients, especially to the times of their earliest childhoods, where they start having imaginary friends. She could actually talk directly to these entities through the body of the patient, which means that these creatures somehow latch into our minds, or better put, they FORM our mind. This can only give Castaneda\’s viewpoint on mudshadows SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY.
    I have a blurry memory of me, being 3 years old, maximally. I still did not talk (I learned it quite late) and I can remember having seen these shadow people. They were directly staring at me. I do not know what happened, but I think, this could be regarded as the moment of inception. This has dramatically worsened my life. How can you get along in this world of lies and slavery, if you are AWARE that this is an imposed mind-set? But well, sadly, there is no such thing as an 1-800-MUDSHADOW to help you out of this mess, and if you happen to be a white, European male like myself, you really are serving as an ice-cream sandwich to authorities, mudshadows, society, etc – more than females, as a matter of fact, as our Universe seems to be female in nature.
    I have had \"normal\" apparitions of shadow beings from peripheral view, but I never get scared. Only one time, I got scared, because I could grasp one of these beings for, say, one fifth of a second – enough for the brain to really capture an image. All I can say is that these things are not just a shadow – they have real 3D properties and I could even hear a noise he made; like wind passing by. Their movement is also non-linear, which explains that they are not bound to Euclidean space like us.
    You can get a nice picture about their appearance if you watch Freightners or Harry Potter\’s Dementors from Prisoner of Azkaban, but I would not suggest you to turn this into a belief system, or you might just wind up calling them up – there must be a reason for Hollywood for going public with this knowledge that would topple the walls of scientific materialism in one fell swoop.

    P.S. Harry Potter got sucked by these beings, meaning that from that time on, he bacame a black magician, possessed by these \"guardians\". Parents, keep your children away from these utter satanic beliefs!

    Since moving in to my apartment complex 1 year ago, there’s been alot of activity. From smells of cologne when I come home from work (I live alone) and whispering at night or hearing footsteps when I want to take a nap. But about 3 months ago things got really BAD, it started when I was getting ready for bed and I heard a noise, so I turned and saw a black figure looking at me around the corner from the hallway. I know that this was real because my dog was sitting on my bed and he looked right at the same thing and the exact same time I did. the thing that scared me the most was how fast it took off, once it saw me looking at it it pulled back around the corner. I went to investigate nothing was there. From that point on when i was in the shower i could hear something moving around in the apartment or worse the closet which is on the other side of the shower. I know this wasn’t my dog because he would fly like a bat out of hell into the bathroom with me and the noises would continue. So i put up st benedict medals above my front door and one for my dogs collar and blessed the house with holy water. That night when I took my dog out I saw for a split second the dark figure again only this time out on my balcony looking at me. It’s been months since anything has happend and then last night the bastard isn’t gone. I stepped out my front door and went to go down the stairs with my dog and we both looked up at the same time and there he was watching us from our neighbors balcony! The thing that shocked me was just how black this thing was. There balcony light wasn’t on and you could see this male figure it looked like it had a coat on move with a jerky fast motion back further into the corner of the porch. I know it wasn’t my neigbore because no lights were on and there was absolutely no sound you could hear a pin drop. So now I’m left with reblessing the apartment again, and praying for the best till my lease is up in 2 months:(

    Shadow People are actually the reflections of the evil inside your being. not a being in themselves.

    i have acutally experianced shadow men and i am a phycick.srry not sure how to spell that im not very good at english, but i have expereinced these apperisions commonly known as ”shadowmen ”or”shadow folk”and this as far asthe apperiances are far from correct.i pursonaly beleive thatthe appearence of the apperisions aredemonic forces not shadowmen.shadow men are solid and do not reflect lite but they have no clothing just human shape.at timesredglowing eyes.it is pretty fightening but you must not fear them or theywill take control.WILL take control of your LIFE.youmust make themfear you,in turn they will leaveor becomevery much less active or you can just ignore them and they will get bored with and leave.they feed ofyour emotions,spiretuall paresites ifyou will but ignore them.

    in my case this is the frist time in my life(that I can remember) that I ever seen a black shadow figure that was just floating over me as I layed in my bed. My eyes where wide open and he or she would just float there. I just don\’t know what this could mean.I would like to understand it.There is only me and my husband and he didn\’t see any thing. I do hear some strange noises one in awhile. nothing bad. Just wish I knew what it means.
    Thanks for listening.

  46. Kevin Carter says:

    My name is Kevin Carter and as a youngster, 10 or 11 years old, my family lived into a house on Windover Dr. in Nashville TN. I had two golden retrievers, Sandy & Jeff, who HATED to go into two specific rooms in the house, the laundry room in the basement next to the garage and the 2nd story room directly above it!
    The first day they came to the house, I noticed how reluctant they were to enter these two areas in particular. I thought they probably needed to sniff around a bit before they made themselves at home but, they’d NEVER entered these two rooms on their own. One night, a week after my family settled in, I figured out why my dogs tended to stay away from that side of the house. (SHADOW PEOPLE or rather SHADOW MAN)

    Arrival of the shadow – After brushing my teeth I walked the hall to my bedroom to go to sleep. I got halfway into my room and got an electric-type shock, fell to the floor and came to a few moments later. I got up, ran to tell my parents and they said it was just static electricity. (YEA, ALRIGHT, WHATEVER YOU SAY) After that night, I was a little gun-shy but, I was REALLY paying attention (NOT THAT I COULD HELP IT), especially around bedtime. It paid off within the next few days because, although my parents never noticed anything unusual, it was clear that we had a household pest.

    Actions of the shadow being – I was pretty sure it tried to do me in by shocking me that first night but, it must’ve caught me by the blind-side because, I never saw it clearly until days later.

    Physical attributes – Now remember, I was only 10-ish so everything seemed bigger than me but, It was blacker than matte black, 5-6 ft. tall and never appeared for more than a few seconds. It was a male and apart from the silhouette, it had no edges. It had arms but no hands and no feet that I could see.

    Demeanor of the shadow – It came out of nowhere and disappeared into either a wall or nothing at all. It actually disappeared one night into a shadow that was ALWAYS there at night, a shadow cast by the streetlamp through a tree onto my wall in corner over my bed. (WOW! NOW THAT WAS A MIND JOB!) It never came after me but, instead always seem to be just passing through. It never flew or floated but, glided across the floor in open space but, when it got to a wall it would find a way to use the wall’s features to fade away. Mind you, this shadow man never showed up in full daylight or ANY direct light. A light on in the hallway, yes. A dim light on in my room, no.

    Departure of the shadow – Like I said, the shadow man would occasionally just fade out before reaching a wall but, would ordinarily make its way to a wall or surface and use some feature on that surface to evaporate or into, like an ordinary shadow.

    Your reaction – I was only 10 and really didn’t know what to make of it other than, my dogs didn’t particularly care to do anything alone on the side of the house the shadow man seemed to show up. for it’d

    Your reaction – I saw the shadow man perhaps two dozen times in the two years we spent at that house and I CANNOT figure out what the hell that thing was doing. It never seemed to be carrying anything and would always come from nowhere and would inevitably go into a wall but never come from out of a wall and out into the open. Looking back on it now, other than the fascinating fact that this thing was actually a shadow, it was by it’s nature, very, very creepy. For the first two months, the shadow man was seriously giving my inner-ancient-primate wholesale grief in the form of many sleepless nights. After those couple months, that same inner-ancient-primate figured out that I can’t eat it and it can’t eat me. I couldn’t then or now think of any way to catch a shadow so, by virtue of that, I never felt it had enough substance to harm me. Finally, it wouldn’t stop or slow down long enough to either have a chance to communicate or even train so, it was more like just a really weird pest.

    When I was 7 years old the first time (but wasn’t the last) the shadow person appeared to me. I was in bed and had my dolls lined up to the right of me. I slept in the top bunk bed and if you climbed up the bed it would shake and creek. Ok, so I woke up and looked over and saw a kneeling shape running its hands over the faces of my dolls. Now this shape was blacker than black, so black that it could be easily distinguished from the dark room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pinched myself to see if I was really awake. I just stared at it watching it move its hands back and forth. This shape was just that, a shape no facial features just fuzzy around the edges but I could tell it was a kneeling figure. I got scared because I would have noticed if something climbed up the ladder to the top bunk but I didn’t feel or hear anything. I pulled the covers over my head and then peeked and it was still there. I did this a couple over more time and on the last peek it was gone in a blink of an eye. I am 45 now and I can remember this as if it were yesterday. Kept this to myself. But after that I was very sensitive and could start sensing that something was around. Also I knew it was around because whenever I would go to bed, lights out, I had a lamp in my room and I would hear something flick the lightbulb. Like a fingernail to the smooth glass bulb and the room just felt different. Very hard to explain the sensation but you just feel it.
    Then we moved across town probably 20 miles away in a newly built home. Things were quiet for about a year. My bedroom was across the hall from my parents. Then things started to happen in my room. I had two figures visit me on a regular basis. One was tall and the other one was very short. They would circle around my bed and disappear into the corner. I have goose bumps right now as I am typing this. Anyway The tall one was hooded because I could see a pointy top and the other one was really short with bright red eyes. One time the figures moved in the direction of the corner and the short one disappeared but the tall figured stay and I watched it slowly sink into the floor but it reached out with white boney fingers and grabbed the corner of my covers and pulled on it. I flew out of my bed and woke my parents up. Telling them what happened and dragging them into my room to show them the bunched up fabric and the skewed corner. they said “Oh you must of had something sitting on the corner and it fell off.” but the did acknowledge that something had created that. From that night forward I started telling my mom what has been going on. Of course I had a “wild imagination” she would say. I couldn’t convince her. Guys, there were so many things that happened I could be writing for weeks. But I will share one more experience that happened multiple times and it finally happened to my mother and she never doubted me again.
    Once my older brother moved out I took him room in the basement now I’m directly below my parents room. Basement experiences were extremely scary. But I would have a shadow figure visit me at night and I always knew when it was going to happen because the room would get extremely cold. See your breath cold even in the summer. When it would come I would experience the sleep paralysis but I was wide awake. It would come in my room and approach the bed and it would lay on top of me. I could feel the weight and something of a breath and at this point I would do everything I could to scream but it would be muddled, try to move and with enough thought I could finally move and it would instantly go away. This particular shadow was evil and wanted to hurt me, sometimes it would hit me, and I would hear its voice in my head saying “just accept me”. But I knew if I did “accept” that something bad would happen. Every single time that would happen my mom would comment in the morning,”I could hear you last night. Did you have a bad dream?” I told her what happened and everytime it happened. She just didn’t believe me until I moved out on my own and she had it visit her when my dad was out of town and she was alone. She called me, scared. Guys I know how all of this sounds but it is my true experiences. I am a firm believer in the paranormal.
