What are Shadow People

[@Atropos-Lachesis]

They are not transparent, they are totally solid like seeing someone in a dark room and it’s a silhouette of someone

[@grahambambeck7452]

We have a shadow person in our home. For whatever reason, I know it's a female. She's quite playful and peaks around corners very quickly. To say that she's just a shadow is an understatement. She's darker than dark, she soaks up light. Blacker than black is the only way I can explain her. Whatever she is, she is not threatening in any way and I feel like we're kind of friends. She only "plays" with me but, will let my Fiancé see the shadows of her feet walking past our door at night.

[@coreyanderson7424]

@@Beware00 I saw one once in broad daylight. It was the shape of an adult male. It was solid black, and was outside (thank goodness). I saw it the first time, and assumed it must have been seeing it wrong. But about a few minutes later, I went to take off, and noticed that guy was still out there. That's when I really took a harder look. It was, indeed, solid black with no facial features whatsoever or hair or clothes or shoes etc. And, it moved items. It was going through the cab of a pickup truck parked outside. It's crazy. I had never heard of shadow people at that time.

Just experienced this for the first time last Saturday, exactly how you described them. It was a silhouette, four of them to be exact, a human sized one, 2 large ones and a small one

[@Veuxdeux666]

Exactly.

[@mombiethezombie7536]

I used to see them when I was little and even saw/heard them actively interact with items in the room with me. Before he died, my grandfather would tell us about seeing a man in a hat that he would carry on conversations with. He could never tell us or remember what he told him though.

[@todddavis4274]

I wasnt high or drunk at all. I was painting baseboard in an upstairs bedroom when I felt strange and looked to my left. There was a dark shape of a person's face right in my face. I threw my paint bucket and brush, stumbled backwards and fell down. Then there was nothing there. Now.... if nothing was there, why did it frighten me so? I'll never forget it.

[@dsaved1984]

No, this is real. I use to see this tall shadow man in my Aunt's building years ago. A friend stayed over and agreed to help finish my painting. When I returned from work he said you have a ghost in here and started to describe it. I never told him, matter a fact, I never told anyone. It confirmed what I kept seeing. Then one day all the family got together and wow, the stories that were told about this shadow person and what it would do. I knew it was really real then and I wasn't going crazy.

[@baitposter]

It's real, just not in the thrilling, otherworldly way many expect. The human brain is capable of powerful delusions and hallucinations.

[@mkevz]

@@baitposter but how do you explain a pattern of several people (and animals) seeing/experiencing the same phenomena consistently

[@baitposter]

@@mkevz It's a pretty simple phenomena to recreate convergently when we all have visual systems. Your brain doesn't work that astronomically different from your neighbor's; if it did, it'd be a real spanner in the works for cognitive science, and the people who do differ significantly are novel points of research and cross-reference. I dabble a bit in cognitive computing, myself; going to school for gerontology, too.

I'm heard of schizophrenics and meth addicts whether recovered or active talking about these things and I know for a fact they're not making it up I believe the drugs might open up another way to the spirit realm or something or weaken yourself to where you're more vulnerable to infiltration from certain things like this

[@PleaseHelpICantThinkofaName]

I have a similar theory. I used to see shadow people. About a year ago, my friend admitted to me she struggled with meth addiction. What she described was similar to what I experienced as a teenager. She also had some dreams about things before they happened. She and I have been friends for over 20 years and she never seemed to believe in this stuff before. There's healthier ways than meth to tap into your psychic self but it was something she wasn't expecting to experience.

[@traceydonth4515]

Absolutely. I've been on all sides of the fence, being schizoid and also w drug related experiences. I have not only SEEN them, but have also FELT them. Ever since I was very young. I was almost tripped by one in my kitchen in broad daylight, like it tried to wrap itself around my feet. I don't believe they are 100% malicious, they are indeed very strange. What's strangest to me is that it seems like if u panic, they react more negatively than as to accepting them as a "normal" everyday entity/occurence. Since I've accepted their "prescence" things have been much more docile. Weird, maybe. Definitely interesting.

[@traceydonth4515]

Certainly, now being clean, it still goes on, always has, and I think it's just a matter of accepting their existence.

[@CeeDoubleU]

I saw shadows peeking at me and jumping behind light poles and behind bushes when I tried looking directly at them. I was on cocaine but I was not hallucinating.

[@LAUS-DEO-HAWAII]

I HAVE SEEN THESE PEOPLE MANY TIMES. BEFORE I GET TO MY STORIES, A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF. ALL MY 78 YRS. OF LIFE, I HAVE BEEN A VERY RELIGIOUS PERSON. I LOVE JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE SERVED HIM ALL MY LIFE. IT STARTED A LITTLE OVER 4 YEARS AGO. I LIVE IN HAWAII. I WAS STAYING IN A NEARBY HOTEL FOR TWO YEARS. AROUND 3 AM. EVERY MORNING THEY WOULD COME. FIRST, THE MAN IN THE HAT. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS LOOKING DOWN AT ME FROM THE CEILING. THE ROOM WAS TOTAL DARKNESS, NO LIGHT OF ANY KIND. I WOULD BE SLEEPING AND A BRIGHT LIGHT WOULD WAKE ME UP. IT WAS NOT A LIGHT AS WE KNOW IT. IT WAS INSIDE THE EYEBALL, OR MAYBE INSIDE MY MIND, WAKING ME UP. I SLEEP ON THE FLOOR, NOT IN BEDS BECAUSE OF MY BACK AND LEG PROBLEMS. ONCE AWAKE, THE LIGHT DIMMED TO A LOWER GREY SOFT LIGHT. NO MATTER WHAT POSITION I WAS LYING IN, THE BRIGHT INTENSE LIGHT WOULD WAKE ME. I WAS NOT FRIGHTENED AND WOULD ALWAYS SAY ONE OUR FATHER AND HE WOULD GO AWAY WHEN I TOLD HIM I DID NOT FEAR HIM. I FINALLY KEPT A SMALL FLASHLIGHT NEAR ME WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP AND WHEN THEY APPEARED, I JUST SAID AN OUR FATHER AND TURNED ON THE LIGHT AND THEY WOULD DISAPPEAR, NOT TO RETURN UNTIL ANOTHER NIGHT. AFTER A FEW NIGHTS, THEN THE MAN IN THE HAT WAS JOINED BY OTHERS. WOMEN AND CHILDREN. NOW THEY WERE LOOKING AT ME LIKE I WAS A ZOO ANIMAL FROM ABOVE, THEY WERE LOOKING DOWN AT ME IN A CIRCULAR DOME MADE OF GLASS OR PLEXIGLASS, OR SOME OTHER MATERIAL. THE WOMEN ALL HAD THAT MARLO THOMAS FLIP HAIRSTYLE FROM 1960, THE LITTLE GIRLS TOO. THE BOYS ALL HAD HATS LIKE THE MEN. THE WOMEN, MEN AND CHILDREN ALL RANGED IN SIZES. SO, THERE WAS THE FIRST MAN IN THE HAT, THEN JOINED ON OTHER NIGHTS BY WOMEN, CHILDREN AND OTHER MEN. SOME NIGHTS 10, THEN 15, THEN 20, THEN 30 I COUNTED AROUND THE DOME LOOKING AT ME. THEN THINGS CHANGED, UP TO 100 LOOKING AT ME IN ROWS. REMEMBER, I WAS NEVER AFRAID, I HAVE JESUS IN MY HEART AND DID NOT FEAR THEM AT ALL. THEY WERE CURIOUS ABOUT ME, BUT I KNEW THEY WERE DEMONS. THEY NEVER MADE ANY NOISE OR TRIED TO HARM ME, JUST LOOKING AT ME LYING THERE. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND JUST LEARNED THAT WHEN I SAW THE INITIAL LIGHT TRYING TO WAKE ME, I JUST TURNED ON THE FLASHLIGHT AND THEY WENT AWAY NOT TO BOTHER ME AGAIN UNTIL ANOTHER NIGHT. I FINALLY GOT MY NEW APARTMENT ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM THAT HOTEL ROOM, THEY DID NOT FOLLOW ME. WHAT DO YOU THINK? AND PLEASE, NOT A WORD ABOUT MY CAPS.

[@itzzzsss]

I too had strange events going on in my life, paranormal ones. I write this dozens of times in hopes other people experienced something similar. Mine was Biblical in a sense. I had/having Sleep Paralysis, Night Terrors as an baby to toddler, Lucid Dreaming. I mastered my Lucid Dream skills but am unable to L.D. due to back injury. It causes me to wake up and I gotta pee. Panic Attack. The sensation is similar to Sleep Paralysis. Sleep Paralysis/Lucid Dreaming started at age 14. Nightmare on Elm Street movie triggered it. Saw the movie at age 12. Kept getting nightmares of Freddy Krueger, until I started waking up from my nightmares; age 14. That's when I started having Lucid Dream nightmares. The sensation from Lucid Dreams is 10 times sensitive. So if u think your getting cut by a knife, it really hurts. So u can understand a Sexual Lucid Dream. It is very intense. It is more sensitive compared to a real copulation. But going back to Nightmare ones.. With these dreams, there was always a dark shrouded figure or a sense of it before i started to sleep. It was always be next to my closet or in the closet. It stood about 10 to 11 feet and looked like Death. I never seen Hat Man. After encountering Sleep Paralysis and Nightmares, I started to get angry. One, was lack of sleep. So one day getting to school, I stopped by a 7-11. There was a comic book stand. I never seen a comic book before and bought one. It was Uncanny X-Men 247. A group of superheroes fighting some big robot. That's when I started to implement superhero skills into my L.D.s. I started having better nights. I would kill the monsters in those dreams. But still every once in awhile the black figure would appear at night. Years gone by, and I would start reading other books that had characters with some godly powers to implement in my dreams. It came to the point where my anger would overwhelm me as I sleep. And I slowly ended up being that dark hooded figure. I would take advantage of the wakened sleep world. If the dream was suppose to have u at a certain area, I would just drift away and explore. I would start doing violent things to people and property in the dreams. It was during those times that it seemed like someone was looking over my shoulders and seeing the mishaps. But I continue to ignore it, and take advantage of the moments. Then I started to get depressed. It was there after finally getting fed up of always hiding in the darkness to act like a succubus to my victims, I started to phase thru walls. Letting everybody know what I was. Something placed a hand over my shoulder. Quickly, I pulled a long blade that was fused on my wrist, and thrusted it onto your guys image of Jesus Christ. He told me why I was upset... Depression took it's toll at age 19. I prayed a Demonic Prayer. And I meant it. It was a Karma prayer which was destructive to anything and everything. After awhile all my Lucid Nightmare Dreams became elemental dreams. Controlling hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. I kept Lucid Dreaming with the image of Jesus. Couple of last dreams was a wedding dream. It ended at age 22. I had hallucinated Vertigos inbetween all those dreams. I wrote them all down on white pieces of paper. It started to stack up. So I used a velvet colored red ribbon and scrolled-tied them. After fighting with my parents, I ended up loosing the scrolled up paper. I rewrote these dreams and posted it up on Myspace. Back in 2006. But since hackers were messing around with the programming, viruses, and crashing the browser. I printed a bunch of copies of the dreams, and gave it to all the nearby churches. And threw away everything else, and moved on with my life. Those dreams are part of The Book of Revelations

[@Denace]

Yea I’ve had a couple experiences with shadow people… the one time I was around 12 doing my homework and out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow walk into my parents room and the silhouette looked like my mother. So I called for her and no response. I go into her room and no one’s there. We lived in an apartment complex and I went downstairs to the laundry room and she was there doing the laundry talking on the phone. I asked if she was just up there and she’s like not in like 20 minutes or so. I told her I thought she was up there and i saw a figure walk into her room and she ran upstairs and grabbed a knife and checked the whole apartment.. This was during the day.

[@haseo8162]

I’ve seen one peeking around the hallway at my old apartment in Utah. Freaked me out but I ran towards it ready to fight. Had my wife in the room behind me on the bed while I was on the floor gaming. Turned to my right and down the hallway I saw shoulders, and a head peak from behind the wall. I froze initially because I’ve never seen something like that but my instincts kicked in to defend my wife. I figured if it was a demon or what ever I could by time for her to escape. But as I ran towards it it slowly dissipated. What was weird was a few days after the event the cops came to my house asking me if I knew about my neighbor being dead. Freaked me out and when they opened his door the pure smell of death was awful. My wife thinks that shadow figure was probably him trying to tell me to go check on him.

[@kateashby3066]

Oh wow! Thanks for adding that last part to give us ideas on what these things are. I also like that you said “what was weird…” AFTER you explained a bunch of very weird stuff 😅

[@ryanhansen7340]

Im not afraid of them. In pretty short time after they showed up, I started asking them for favors and help (yes I can communicate with them, I say to do something, and they do it) while also shit talking them for constantly bothering me. 3 out of 3 times they helped me out when I asked, or it's just massive coincidence, either way. A few times now, they have walked right up to me, "coming off the walls" i call it. Also, I don't know about the rest of you people who have encounters with them, but they seem to be able to interact with our physical world pretty well. I constantly witness them shifting around objects nearby, no more than an inch or so usually, just shifting an object resting on a surface back and forth. It's gotten to the point to where anything I focus on for more than about 3-5 seconds begins moving, almost as if I possessed psychokinesis. But often times, I'm not focusing on the object, but it comes to my attention when I I hear the object scraping against the surface on which it rests. Several times now I have very lightly placed my finger tips on the moving object to see if I was just hallucinating, and sure enough i can feel the pressure change in my finger tips as I see, and hear the object move. Of course, I'm now 2 months in to this debacle, seeing, hearing and feeling them and the objects they interact with nearby, every single night, now even during the day, anywhere a shadow is. I've seen groups of what must have been 20 of them before. A normal night I detect 6 or 8 of them maybe. I don't know if I've lost my mind or what. If I haven't, they seem to have taken a serious interest in me for some reason. I have lots and lots of videos now that show objectsmoving, and even the shadow people moving them. I've showed it to close friends and family, they have themselves agreed that stuff is moving on its own in the video, very paranormal characteristic. Given that close friends and family have seen it for themselves, I suspect I'm not losing my mind, and the "shadow people are indeed real. -B.S. Mathematics, scientific method advocate, empiricist, atheist etc. I check all the boxes for a person that would call "shadow people"nonsense. And yet, here I am.

That is fascinating. Watching more and more videos that show Shadow People, it looks like a real phenomenon. They are not just as assumed previously a demons or just ghosts. They seem as a separate entities, all of them seem playful, however there appears to be a different temperament ones, just like human beings. I guess they are afraid to show up, as in most of the clips in youtube if there are people in the same premises, they are hiding behind doors, inside cabinets etc. In one of the clips the person challenged the entity by aggressively asking it to leave and it kind of replied with a demonic voice screaming NO and closed the door of the bathroom where it was hiding. They appear connected to the places they occupy, just like they own the place, like they are in their own apartment, or house and the people living there are like the annoying roommates. This definitely should get studied more in depth, scientifically if possible. Someone needs to start an experiment like you are experimenting and start documenting and posting blog posts and videos about it.

[@ryanhansen7340]

@@verssoss I've thought about posting some of my videos. The problem is that I don't care enough to keep up with it. It's so normal for me now that I've lost a lot of the fascination I had with it in the beginning.

For me it was a whole family that appeared to me in a dream when I was younger, the way they move even the shadows of the children they still looked very sentient, I remember them all standing around me and I used to see them in the corner of my eye every now and then, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them but I know they are still there, finally got the courage to look them up because I always got goosebumps and got a chill down my spine everytime I brought them up to anyone, one night my step sister had mentioned them and I remember freezing up in terror and choking on my own words because of how shocked I was that I was not the only person that they have made themselves known to, I had never mentioned them to her before

[@aidinpippippenger9907]

I have had many experiences with "sleep paralysis", "the hat man", & "the old hag" (some are absolutely terrifying eg. Climbing in the bed with me/running it's fingers through my hair and whispering in my ear) but it ONLY HAPPENS in certain places, and in other locations NEVER HAPPENS. If it's a medical condition, why would it be restricted to only occurring at certain homes I've visited &/ lived in?

[@kateashby3066]

And THIS is why I Sage my home regularly. I saw one once and I’ll never forget the fear. I actually can’t recall it that well because my room was pretty dark with only a small light from my computer giving just enough off so I could make out the general shapes in my room. I woke up in a panic and there it was at my door staring at me, and not because I saw it doing this but I felt it. I could barely focus my eyes but I saw something and felt it’s glare. I’m not Christian but I sure AF called on Jesus in that moment. Then the fear lightened and I fell right back to sleep. Been saging ever since. That was in my old house and my roommate was always bringing new and random women over and I hated living there because of the mixed energies. Some of those chicks were not mentally sound. Bad energy attracts more bad energy.

[@markreemsnyder]

I have physically encountered two types of shadow men. There are a couple types, at least that I know of; one very physical in nature, the other more spiritual. The spiritual one is more powerful. They even told me their names. Over the course of six years, three years with each, the encounters escalated into full scale fights, even at one point one of them took the form of a black panther. I've even seen them in portals. Nearly all of the encounters took place when I was in that waking state near sleep, but I know when I'm awake and when I'm asleep having spent many sleepless hours in the middle of the night. You will want to say I was in sleep paralysis or just dreaming, but I guarantee you I wasn't paralyzed when I was wrestling one of them in the middle of my bedroom, or blocking punches from the other as he leaned out from a portal above me. It took me a while to understand who they were, but in the end, it was Jesus who banished them and ended the encounters. I simply prayed in faith. The first was bound; the second was sent away. I would say their agenda is as simple as turning and distracting you from God. These are very real demonic beings under the authority of God, fallen beings who turned against God, but God still has authority over them. Be careful with them as they are very intimidating and deceitful. If you are having trouble with one, I pray that you will remember this and call out to Jesus. It may not mean an end to them right away... but you'll be on the right path. Jesus isn't a magic spell. He will come to you and make himself known to you if you let Him. In Him, there is no darkness, and shadow men are nothing but darkness. Some of you may be experiencing different types of spiritual beings or manifestations different from shadow men. Keep that in mind. I won't pretend to know it all, but these two types... Jesus taught me a little bit about, and I pray it may help someone.

[@dixiemaestri]

A panther visited me the other night.. I told my husband I believed it was spiritual…I am very empathic and have had different experiences throughout my life

[@markreemsnyder]

@@dixiemaestri be careful, Dixie. There are good and evil aspects to spiritualism. Let me tell you a little more about my experience. This is all going to sound like a movie and fiction, but this all happened. The first demon I encountered for several years took the form of a panther with me once. I was laying in bed one morning when I became aware of it laying next to me. Once it knew I knew it was there (though it was invisible, I was seeing it with my spiritual eyes, not my physical eyes), it got up and stalked me to the end of the bed. I could feel it's paws pressing into the bed as it walked, it was that real. Then it pounced at me and exploded into a dark mist that covered me, intimidating me and doing it's best to scare me. I hadn't quite figured out what was going on at this point though, and I just laid there scared, looking at it's red eyes through the mist and it eventually left. About six months later, as I laid in bed one night, a voice suddenly told me to 'get ready' and about a second later I was hit by every force I can think of, wind, electric shock, earthquake rocking, pressure... I was being buffeted by it all and I was going crazy trying to figure out what was happening, but I kept fighting it. This is when some might say I was in sleep paralysis experiencing this, but I fought back and eventually got myself to my knees. I was in a literal fight against this demon. As I started to break free from it, I began to see the form of a creature holding me in a full nelson (wrestling move), and then it faded. At this point, even though I knew it was demonic, I did not call out to Jesus yet. Then it ended and I was laying in bed, like one of those horror movies where someone walks into a room and the walls start bleeding, everything goes crazy, and then all of a sudden someone else walks in the room and they're back where they started like nothing happened, but they still remember it. Then a week later, it happened again, but no one told me to get ready this time. I felt the forces, fought myself to my knees again. As the fight wore on, it became a mist around me again, like when it pounced at me, trying to intimidate me with its red eyes glaring at me. But this time, I remembered Jesus, and called out to Him, and in the name of Jesus, I bound it, collecting it up by waving my hands through the mist, eventually condensing it all down to a small trinket in my hands, and then I woke up back where I was. I have not felt that demonic presence since. I believe God let me experience this to teach me something, and I'm still learning what that is. Because the lesson didn't end there. I had too much pride in defeating him, to much "I" in it all and not enough "Him". When the second one showed up a year or so later, I tried to bind it in the name of Jesus again, but it didn't work, because of my pride in defeating the first one. I believe that at least, and over the next year or two, I had several encounters with this new demon, who wasn't as powerful as the first one. This one only could take the form of the shadow man, and everything was very physical with it. Eventually, as it attacked me one night, I humbled myself before Jesus, and simply repeated His name. The last I saw of that demon, it was spinning off into oblivion away from me, wherever that is. I know it was not by my power, or my spirituality, or anything of myself that sent it away or defeated it. It was all through Jesus, and I love Him more for it. Do I still have pride issues? Yeah, still, and it's hard to even talk about this with the proper humility. It was hard to even make the first post on this video because of it. I don't want to be the focus, only Jesus. So if you'll allow me, Jesus is calling you now, giving you a choice, and if you're being visited by a demonic shadow presence, don't embrace it. Ask Jesus to reveal it to you, teach you, and Love Him for it. It may not happen overnight. It could take months or years to work through this, or maybe a few days. I can't tell you why or how long, just that for whatever reason you've been given over to this experience, and I would pray for you to use it to learn of Christ, and find true Love within Him, and that's all the spirituality you need. God bless, and I'll be praying for you and your husband, who is certainly part of this experience.

I'm seeing them a lot lately. Always in one place - on road through the forest in suburbs I usually take to get back home. At first I was terrified, but now I'm not scared at all. They pay me no attention, maybe because they don't see me or simply do not care. I never tried to interact with them either. Usually it's one shadow, standing or crossing/moving alongside the road, but once I saw a whole group of them. I never encountered them in any other places, also they never followed me to my house. The road itself is quite ordinary, nothing special about it from my point of view, yet they seem to take interest in this particular place. Also, it's been about half of the year since I started to see them, I didn't experience some kind of misfortune or tragedy. However, I've never encountered Hatman or red-eyed variety.

This is so very spot on that I feel like it’s damn near impossible odds of these events being simply a coincidence, seeing as I have first hand account of this exact situation and in addition to that, it is still occurring as we speak. It all started about a year ago when I began having some extremely terrifying nightmares which felt as though I was completely paralyzed and that included my vocal chords so no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move,speak, anything until I calmed down enough to stop resisting in the panicky state I was in and then and only then would it finally let off. This happened a few times for around a month or so, I feel it’s worth mentioning that I had not yet experienced this type of dream and (thankfully) have not again for a while BUT with that being said, what followed was this very odd and entirely new experience for me and became the beginning of a seriously long situation I’ve been going through where I’ve started seeing these shadows of someone out of the corner of my eye after the nightmares occurred and this is along with many other strange moments involving things like for example: I began to feel like I was being stared at but in a (VERY EXTREME) intense way as if someone was literally face to face with me. There’s a lot of peeking around the door movements along with these quick glimpses I’ll have of it passing by sometimes and it has not stopped happening ever since, all with the first sequence of events being that of the dreams you’ve accurately described in this video. Anyhow, it’s progressed into a far more active situation now where I’ve decided to actually record it all in order to confirm that I was in fact NOT going completely mad and luckily, I have not only caught footage of the shadow hanging around and passing by the camera many times but it also moves the phone that I’m videoing from that shows as it’s turning one way or the other and without any real possibilities to do so without being done manually, Items move, covers pulled off, electronics go nuts, it can get randomly cold right before it all begins and sometimes these scents from out of no where and without explanation of their origin will come such as (almost always either cigar smoke or flowers, in particular roses smells) but you name it, it’s likely been something I’ve encountered so I just find this absolutely and amazingly fascinating to hear that the exact same thing has/may be happening to others, granted it might not have developed into the full degree such as my own personal situation has but nevertheless the simple fact alone that it tends to happen the way it does in those same steps for others is just so friggin cool to know!! Thanks for the video, there aren’t many I can find that are legitimate and not clickbait or people talking complete and utter nonsense about the subject in order to try and get as many views as possible. I appreciate it a lot!! 👍✌️❤️

I grew up in a house where, as a small child, I was terrified of a "shadow lady" that would come through my room at night. She would appear around every other week. She would walk through a wall at the corner of the room, turn and walk through the other side of the corner. I found out years later that an old farmhouse had been torn down and our house built on the same plot. My grandmother said she thought that the spirit was following the old floor plan. The lady wore her hair in a bun at the back of her head and had on an apron. She was completely black; it was like watching an animated silhouette. Her actions, she would walk out of the wall and appear to look around then turn and walk through the opposite side of the corner like she was looking for something.

Maybe human physical contact bothers them too, who knows.. they do have a strange physical feel tho.

[@nicholasgibbons9917]

I have only had one encounter of seeing a shadow person. I was at work with my mom to help her close the store she was working at for the night and while I was helping her, I saw a huge shadow figure move across the wall. It was so big that it touched the ceiling while it was on the wall. I only saw it for a few seconds and then it was gone. The weird part is that the lights in the store were still on and the whole store was completely lit. I don't know what seeing it meant, but it was something that scared me for life, and I have had many experiences that have scared me in my life that I cannot explain. I have not seen a shadow figure ever since, but I do know that what I saw was something that was not human. For those who see a shadow figure, beware of its presence.

[@rudyferrell]

I saw one once also when I was wide awake, it pretty about 8 foot tall. I don't know what to make of it.

[@blue999devil2]

I've seen shadow people ever since I was little but the most unnerving experience happened to me last year. I typically only see one or maybe two at a time, but one night in 2021 as I was driving home from work about 9pm on a summer night I'd turned into the neighborhood my Dad's house was in. Immediately I got this surge of anxiety but I didn't know what from and just kept driving until I noticed NONE of the street lights were on. None of them. But houses had lights coming from their windows so it wasn't a power outage? Then as I drove a little further I noticed these smaller shadow things jumping along the front sides of my car just in view like dolphins jumping in and out of waves but there were a LOT of them. Then as I drove a little further I kept seeing shadow people standing at people's house corners, by their mail boxes, under trees, and it just felt like they were all staring at me. The little things still jumping along my car until I finally made it to the last little stretch before I reached my Dad's. There 1 street lamp at the very end of the right just across the street from my Dad's that was actually turned on, but standing directly underneath it was a particularly unsettling shadow person. All the other shadow people and things jumping with my car disappeared and I just turned past the one under the street lamp as calmly as I could and pulled into the driveway. I checked my mirror to see if it was still there but it was gone. I was shaking. I shut my car off, all the windows were up, and again, it was in the middle of summer. As soon as I shut my car off and made myself relax a little this audibly loud, VERY COLD, forceful breath of air hit the back of my neck. I shrieked, grabbed all my things as fast as possible and gtfo of my car and ran inside. I have no idea wtf was up with that night but I will 100% never forget it. 2 nights before that happened I'd randomly get insanely sweaty anxious as soon as I turned into the neighborhood but I had just decided maybe I just really didn't want to go home... But, after that incident I have no clue. I wish I had some answers lol I have so many shadow people stories. 2 stories where other people have seen them too which makes me feel less crazy but still crazy. Do I attract these things? Am I so depressed I'm experiencing a psychosis? Do I have oncoming schizophrenia? Is my consciousness more susceptible to these things than others? Do they even want me to see them or do I do it on accident? Why are they seeming to become more frequent in general?

It was no doubt haunted because there was a very large cemetery across the street from it. The home isn’t there anymore and last I know they built a hospital complex in that area. Anyhow, I would have vivid dreams of being in that house. I wonder if a few of those cases my younger self met my older self and saw it as a shadow figure?

I have an incredible story about Shadow People and it's nothing to do with what you're talking about when I was a kid I used to constantly see people running back and forth on the porch of my house streaking like they were melting shadow people I never feared them my mother thought I was nuts it's pretty funny until we moved out of that house I didn't see them until another 20 years later I started seeing them again and thinking maybe there was something weird about this but then other people around me including my wife seen it with me. I had friends that seen it. I had a four-year-old son we never told anything about came into our room and said that there was a shadow man staring at him in the hallway. Then we had an episode where my mother was staying I was sitting in her guest room and I had a cockatoo bird sitting on my lap and the bird started hissing and put up all its head feathers staring at the door and when I looked I saw her shadow guy staring at me and streak away so the birds seen it too so at that point I realized I wasn't crazy my brother who had brain cancer was staying in the house and at 3:00 in the morning he was asking for my mother cuz he said they was somebody standing next to him asking him to go with him when I asked him what he was looking like he described what I seen pretty much all my life two days later my brother died I don't believe in ghosts I don't know what this is I don't see it I haven't seen it in 20 something years but I think it might be another dimension of some sort and most of the time they streak away when they catch you looking at it they never approach. There was one time I seen it in color which was unbelievable my roommate seen it at the same time and thought somebody was in our house no face absolutely terrifying. Again I don't know what this is but it's nice to find out that there's other people that see this besides me and my family but the rest of this video to me sounds far-fetched they're not holding anybody down or doing anything to you. The last time I seen that thing was outside of the house that I've been in for the last 25 years it's never coming in the house I've seen it on the security cameras once but I've never seen it in my house.

A deformed tall humanoid shadow looking right at me with little white eyes. This scared me so bad.

[@seven8519]

all throughout my life I have had several strange "paranormal" experiences. personally, I discount all of them as being actual spiritual occurrences, I tend to believe there are more tangeable explanations. still, I'd like to share a few, interpret them as you like. shadowy serpents would often slither around starting in my closet and then across the floor in my childhood room. the same closet was also occasionally home to some kind of "fire demon" creature. It was the disembodied features of a face (eyes and gaping mouth but just floating in the darkness) filled with burning orange embers, smoke billowing. I saw this one 2 or 3 times, not as common as the snakes, but I swear one of the times I saw it I could smell this horrid stench, which at the time I didnt recognize but I believe now to have been burning sulfur. possibly just filling in gaps of information to attempt an "explanation" as I got older. a being I deemed the "pickle man" which was just a small cylindrical smudge that would form on the outside of my closet, always early in the morning when I was just waking up, sun had justbegan rising and the light levels were that gentle early greyish kind of color. this little guy would put on elaborate performances, usually silly little dances but sometimes they got really theatrical, even splitting himself up into multiples of himself and putting on entire plays. he always had a pleasant atmosphere to him, as if he was "friendly." multiple instances of hearing people calling out to me, sometimes by name, sometimes not. sometimes the voices are distinctly of people I know, sometimes they are foreign to me yet seem as if I should know them somehow. one time, while struggling to fall asleep, I layed in bed propping my head up with my hand, and I felt an arm reach between the empty spot between my arm and head. I freaked out ad tensed up, then shut my eyes, and the next thing I know I am flipped around to the foot of my bed in the same exact position as if I were teleoprted. multiple cases of seeing blinding white/blue tinted flashes of light. usually fill up my entire vision but on 2 occasions they were more of a focused beam. usually they appear before or after "spirit orb" or "fuu fighter" type glowing spheres. laying in bed, I watched as two large shadow hands stretched themselves across my cieling and slowly made their way to me. they were coming from a murky object (silhouette of a man perhaps? was very unclear honestly) standing in the doorway. when they got to me, I felt them jerk my bed covers off of me, just enough to reveal my feet. I kicked and they retreated, but the strange figure in the door stayed. several other instances of seeing shadow people, some with menacing auras others seemingly nuetral. I think I saw the famous "hat man" once before as well. never occampanied by sleep paralysis either, as I hear many are, but for me I always had full motor control. occasionally approached them where they would either back away just out of reach or vanish when I touched them. one time, admittedly sleep deprived, I had left the lights on in my room and fallen asleep, only got around 1 hour of rest, then I had to get up for work. I awoke to a giant sock monkey towering over me. he was a minimum of 8 feet tall. he looked just like one of those sock monkeys you'd see, like same shape and features, but he was made of actual flesh and fur. nothing fabricated or fake seeming about him other than his cartoonish proportions. I waved at him, he waved back, very friendly and well mannered I might add, and then he handed me a folded up piece of paper. he didnt speak, only made these kind of high pitched grunts, but I got the sense the paper had a message for me, and one that was really important. still, I was really busy and very much out of it as I was trying to get ready for work and very very tired, so I promised him that I'd read the note later then shoved it under my pillow. he nodded with another grunt and seemed happy enough that I was aknowledging him. I ran to the bathroom, started to brush my teeth, then realized how bizarre that whole situation was so I rushed back into my room (no 8 foot sock monkey of course) then ran to check under the pillow. there was no note under there, much to my confusion and relief. it was propably a sleep deprivation related hallucination, but my god was this the most realistic occurence of "paranormal" experiences I have ever had. I am sure there are other things I have yet to recount. things like reoccuring figures in my dreams. some of these being grotesque monsters, others slim dressed businessmen. last thing I wil lrecount here, also on the very realistic feeling and specific occurrences like the sock monkey thing, though far darker. I struggled to sleep one night, tossing and turning in bed. then, I heard this loud music begin to blast all around me in the room. it reverbereated in my bones, like I was standing directly in front of an amplifier. It was some kind of death metal hard rock something or another. I dont really listen to that type of music. very harsh and thrashy. not mainstream, that is for sure. as it would play, I would become completely paralized (the only time in my life I have had any sort of sleep paralysis btw) and was forced laying in my bed with my arms over my head. then a demonic beast made of tumors and oozing blood and puss would crawl its way onto my bed. It was like a spider or crab or something. 4 of its legs were replaced with these chainsaws, and it began tearing into my flesh mercilessly. I could feel it, smell it, it was awful. gut wrenching pain. then, the music would die down, and it would crawl away back into the shadows. I could move again, the wounds gone, though a bit of phantom pain as if I had just been bruised like running your shin into something while walking. I'd toss and turn, more difficult now due to the pain, and eventually, that music would play again and I'd be paralized, then the demon would come to me and slash away again. happened 4 times over the night before I finally was able to fall asleep. strangely enough, I recall waking that next morning feeling unusually well, despite the immense difficulties I had the prior night. anyways, that is all I have for now.

Kept getting nightmares of Freddy Krueger, until I started waking up from my nightmares; age 14. That's when I started having Lucid Dream nightmares. The sensation from Lucid Dreams is 10 times sensitive. So if u think your getting cut by a knife, it really hurts. So u can understand a Sexual Lucid Dream. It is very intense. It is more sensitive compared to a real copulation. But going back to Nightmare ones.. With these dreams, there was always a dark shrouded figure or a sense of it before i started to sleep. It was always be next to my closet or in the closet. It stood about 10 to 11 feet and looked like Death. I never seen Hat Man. After encountering Sleep Paralysis and Nightmares, I started to get angry. One, was lack of sleep. So one day getting to school, I stopped by a 7-11. There was a comic book stand. I never seen a comic book before and bought one. It was Uncanny X-Men 247. A group of superheroes fighting some big robot. That's when I started to implement superhero skills into my L.D.s. I started having better nights. I would kill the monsters in those dreams. But still every once in awhile the black figure would appear at night. Years gone by, and I would start reading other books that had characters with some godly powers to implement in my dreams. It came to the point where my anger would overwhelm me as I sleep. And I slowly ended up being that dark hooded figure. I would take advantage of the wakened sleep world. If the dream was suppose to have u at a certain area, I would just drift away and explore. I would start doing violent things to people and property in the dreams. It was during those times that it seemed like someone was looking over my shoulders and seeing the mishaps. But I continue to ignore it, and take advantage of the moments. Then I started to get depressed. It was there after finally getting fed up of always hiding in the darkness to act like a succubus to my victims, I started to phase thru walls. Letting everybody know what I was. Something placed a hand over my shoulder. Quickly, I pulled a long blade that was fused on my wrist, and thrusted it onto your guys image of Jesus Christ. He told me why I was upset... Depression took it's toll at age 19. I prayed a Demonic Prayer. And I meant it. It was a Karma prayer which was destructive to anything and everything. After awhile all my Lucid Nightmare Dreams became elemental dreams. Controlling hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. I kept Lucid Dreaming with the image of Jesus. Couple of last dreams was a wedding dream. It ended at age 22. I had hallucinated Vertigos inbetween all those dreams. I wrote them all down on white pieces of paper. It started to stack up. So I used a velvet colored red ribbon and scrolled-tied them. After fighting with my parents, I ended up loosing the scrolled up paper. I rewrote these dreams and posted it up on Myspace. Back in 2006. But since hackers were messing around with the programming, viruses, and crashing the browser. I printed a bunch of copies of the dreams, and gave it to all the nearby churches. And threw away everything else, and moved on with my life. Those dreams are part of The Book of Revelations

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

Ive been wondering if those are people that are traveling in thier sleep.......i had sleep peralasis a long time ago only once and i was completely unable to move but i was aware of what was happening .I could not wake up or get up and there were hands around my bed reaching up , trying to grab me.

[@MrHabitat009]

I had this same thing happen few times a month for several years in my first home. I would heard a loud boom and open my eyes while in sleep paralysis and see my front door open with a tall man with a fedora style hat dressed In all black watching me. I would make moaning sounds tell me wife would wake me up and if I took my eyes off the man he would become closer and I could see what looked like smoke coming from his pant legs and sleeves. So scary

[@sebekpolak51forever]

When I was 4 I used to see them at nights.

[@stevenwagner-rx7ew]

Maby there just creatures lost in our world lawing for a purpose

[@CocinandoconFania]

[@jtrc99]

People are not alone in seeing shadow people because when I was a small child my friend and I both witnessed seeing shadow men so I know we both seen them and they were real

[@theoneandoni3673]

for about four or five years i was completely harrassed by a shadow entity it was a man probably from 6' 8'' or around 7' tall it was always during sleep paralysis and he'd always come out from my closet he would use these incredibly thin fingers to go into the crack between the door and the wall sliding them through the gap and /hen hed wrap his fingers on the door on the side that i coukd see then hed slowly start opening it and after a few seconds he would slam it open and start slowly walking towards me sometimes it would take him 4 seconds others 40 and when he finally git over to my bedside hed either just stand there staring at me whike cocking his head back and forth like an animal ehich was most of the time or there was one time he climed on top of me and grabbed me by the throat i tried to breath but it felt like i couldnt he lifted me by my neck and slammed me against the wall behind my headboard and eventually i was out when i woke up i was sitting leaned back against the wall and thought it was all just another dream and it was in my head or something but when i went to the bathroom to get ready for school i realised there were red marks like a hand arong my throat ive been completely and utterly terrified of it since then i ripped the doors off my closet and its ceased to appear and im hoping it stays that way p.s if anyone reads this you can believe it or not i dont care but i know what i experienced

[@ItisOKtobewhite]

I believe you. Had the same experience.

[@lttlqt]

Anyone here try to touch them? I saw several and the hatman. I was watching so intently I didn't try, but I could feel a breeze, cold air around them. I also smelt burning. I haven't heard of anyone trying to touch them and just curious. Wish I had. I was a bit stunned. Lol I wasn't so much scared as I was shocked

[@BLAZE-mh6tn]

Im seeing them now its just trickery of the eyes ive seen grills turn into a shadow person head in the corner of my eye but as soon as i turned to look at if straight on it was just a grill

[@rudyferrell]

It can't be a soul of a dead witch, because that wouldn't be in hell........

[@echoingsnow]

My tales and theory: I have a tale from being a mental inpatient place, there was this man who said he was going through a "Spiritual Battle." A Hatman shadow person opened the front door and show himself and rushed in made him smile :). This man said wicked evil sick twisted things around to others I have witness it personally. Love you shadow people and Hatman, you straighten my booty up the scared straight program lol ;}. I respect them and accept the creepy and dark within, without the evil dark demon. I have seen the hat man when I twisted and sick in many ways. I believe in them; my theory is they come to the not so good people. I learned it scared the Satan out of me. Now on a journey to work the mental health field as a Peer Support Specialist because I know some does come to wicked and I always cried," they are coming for me." The Hatman doesn't bother me unless I know screwed up or warns me. They say hi I remember his uncanny voice saying "Hi".

[@ASKR303]

i have seen them many times and even 4 of us all saw them when camping. they are not shadows. its like they absorb light

[@marfe8814]

I just experienced it now.. he has a long hair i just prayed that he left

[@StoicInsights5320]

I'm not scared I saw one last night I saw it pacing the living room floor then when it saw me it darted to the window then after it went out the window there was a face in the window changing from different peoples faces . It said it was evil. In the living room looked like a dark silhouette

[@chip1pan]

I don't think they are all evil? I had one in my house that I saw once clear as day. Although I felt fear nothing evil was ever in my home. My children from birth to adolescence were protected by spirits

[@gavinabrams9171]

[@mariluornelas7914]

[@MildCholester28]

Shadow People sounds kinda cool ngl

[@markcarroll194]

Have you ever tried to poop and not fart

[@hencethesituation]

They’re just in the next dimension they got frequency technology to switch dimensions though and mess with us. Whatever you do! Don’t talk to them! They got the volume up so high on me the last couple years I can barely function at all. I pissed them off because I could see them fully and tried to create goggles to see them fully. They stole a 350$ Amazon package so I couldn’t lol!

[@samsonyunited]

that is sleep paralisis

[@YaHeardFam]

If you see them its a sign of bad things to happen .

[@dudelebowski8629]
