Shadow People.

I see them and I must admit I don’t like it. I guess because I’ve always had a fear of being possessed. I’m not sure what they want or if they’re good or bad. I think if I knew they were harmless then I’d feel less uncomfortable. 

I used to see them when I was a kid. I suspect something weird was going on in the house where I lived. It all went away when I moved and got older.

The thing I find most interesting is that people from around the world that have never interacted with each other report seeing almost exactly the same thing. (For example the Hat Man) Most of the stories I have read are from people that believed their experience was unique to them.

i mean i have seen these sincce im 11, im surprised to find this here, in paranormal, cause i have the theory i see em beacause of the alcohol and drgs, i didnt knew there was more people seeing them, thats weird xd

once read somewhere that they're our guardian angels

honestly yeah but you could’ve right but there are some that like wear hats and are claimed as guardians so maybe they can really be what they want

realmente una vez vi un ser desde el auto y juro que no tenia cabeza pero parecia ser la unica que lo vio, creo que tal vez sea parte nuestros recuerdos o pensamientos materialisados. Ya que unos dias antes vi uun video de algo relacionado con eso🐨

Creo que son seres del mas allá que simplemente no encuentran el camino hacia el descanso eterno debido a que se "perdieron" en el camino y no digo que simplemente sea por tener los supuestos asuntos pendientes en este pano astral, puede deberse a diversas razones así como cuando las personas no aceptan la muerte de alguien siempre he dicho que la mente humana es muy poderosa respecto a este entorno ya que si tu deseo es tan fuerte de tener a esa persona que perdiste podrías encadenar su alma a estar en constante activación, incluso creo que si tu deseo es fuerte tal vez termines encadenando a otra alma muy distinta a tu ser querido ya que si deseamos esas cosas en un lugar donde la vida de una persona se le haya arrebatado o una persona que frecuentaba ese lugar podrías encadenar a esa alma a estar en este respectivo plano y es por eso que aveces sentimos que traemos algo pero no le sentimos pertenencia a nuestro entorno social y lo percibimos como algo que nos quiere lastimar

Desde hace un tiempo soñé con uno, escuché que no era el único que había visto uno, aunque el mío tiene algo peculiar, es una sombra con un sombrero, creo que no le agrado mucho porque siempre está causando problemas en mis sueños, como ofrecerme. un té con un ojo flotando. 

No son exactamente aterradores, solo son molestos, ¿será la esencia de un cascarrabias? ja.

I see them often you guys are delusional they are just hallucinations or depending on the type of person you are they can be whatever you want, i don't mind though your guys stories are interesting

shadow people are NOT ghosts, they're just people who haven't rendered in yet and are supposed to spawn somewhere else which is why you can never see them!

I heard a theory that our peripheral vision can see ghosts or something like that. I always think about it when I see these ''shadow people''.

they give me the chills

I have seen many shadow people in my life. I see them all the time actually. There is a shadow living in my house now and it bothers me. I likes to get my attention a lot. It is always moving around during the late hours when everyone else is sleeping. I try to play it off as nothing but i know there is something. I never associated them with demons really because the energy they give off is not demonic. It more just like a curious or mischievous entity. I dont know many factual evidence but my family is prone to paranormal occurances 

I've seen a shadow person right in front of me once.

It was late at night, and I was a kid (around kindergarten age). I was alone in my living room when suddenly a shadowy figure of a man wearing a bowler hat appeared several feet away. I stared at him, but when I blinked he vanished. I didn't feel scared or anything when I saw him, so I don't think he was malicious.

My guess is at least some shadow people are ghosts/spirits of some sort.

probably just acting like your neighborhood skeptic to you guys, but tbh i think its just a trick of the eye

Well whatever they are, they seem relatively peaceful judging by the fact I've never heard someone have a violent encounter with one.

I agree with your hypothesis though.

I believe they are just friends there to protect us

I used to see shadow people all the time in the corner of my eye and sometimes people that werent there but mostly shadow people that would disappear before I could take a better look, ( I used to live on the ground floor where my window faced the garden and I didnt have curtains I just had a sheer tablecloth pinned around the window) one night I couldnt sleep and I felt extremely uneasy and felt like someone was watching me and my cat was looking out my window and hissing, I slowly put my hands on the windowsill and peeked out the window into the garden and got shivers down my spine because what i think was a shadow figure was looking straight at me and it just didnt disappear so I slowly went under my covers to hide and try to fall asleep while my cat was still hissing and meowing towards the window. 

i luv this theory! i think it could be a fourth dimension, possibly hosting different vsersions of ourselves!! 

Does anyone see them like peek out from behind doorways and stuff? cuz I only see them like that.

OMG! This is crazy because for me even when I looked at them directly they wouldn't dissapear!

I personally think they are the blank slate of our fears,they then take the shape of what we're afraid of,weather that be eyes looking at you from the dark or a person with a huge scary smile.They all take a form of something that scares us.

I think there may be a shadow person in my backyard. Check my blog for more info.

I used to see them alot when I was walking down the hall at my grandmas house (which is a pretty old house I think) and I would speedwalk down the hall bc it would scare the shiz out of me, now I dont see them as much. And I really dont have any theorys on what they are, they could be anything (ghosts, demons, hallucinations, creatures,etc)

Cool post, I'm not an expert of shadow people, would that be considered a beast?

I have a cousin who claims to see spirits and shadow people I’m not sure if she is telling the truth because she is 12 but this was really convincing for me. We all had a sleepover ( me and my couisns) we were always up around 3-5 am watching movies and talking about random stuff. So I go to use the bathroom around 4 and my cousin decides to follow me for whatever reason. I don’t turn on the light in the bathroom as I’m not afraid of the dark. As I walk out of the bathroom my cousin is standing outside a little afar from the door and is staring at the corner of the bathroom. I asked her what’s wrong and she says” do you not see that?, it’s a tall shadow” and as soon as she says this I hear like something in the bathroom knock over something. 

From that night is see a tall shadow figure in the same spot each time. I’ve learnt to ignore it tho

I don't think they are human or ever were. Maybe demons or other worldy beings. 

Since I was little I would see them.

My theory is that they're spirits or ghosts of past people with strong spirituality or auras. I know it seems like a pretty basic answer but that's just what I think.

I just got that sinking feeling of familiarity when reading your post. I've had countless encounters with shadow people and the "Hat man". It's something I grew up with and I always hoped no one else had the same problem.

I'd love to talk to people about this phenomenon though!

I just like to think its our minds playing tricks on us, or when we move our eyes to a certain direction hard enough we start to see black and mistake it as a person ... when it's not. Hallucinations and stuff still exist, so yeah. 

when i was in kindergarten going to bed, i used to see very tall shadow figures go across my room. no joke. still scares me lol, but they are just people so its not super scary. just odd :]

i am those shadow people

i have seen this one "shadow person" in my dreams and hallucinations for years now. i have no clue what it means, but it never speaks to me and insists on simply taking my sisters or my mother.. i have never been able to stop it from what i remember. very weird.

i belive that they are spirtits who are unaware that they have passed, so they linger in the place where they lived and follow people that they knew when they were alive. 

i dont know about the topic a lot but these shadow people scares me asf 

i think theyre just hallucinations and nothing special.

what if they're glimpses of people from other realities that are like colliding with our reality?

I actually really like the thought that "shadow people" could be loved ones that passed away, or spirits that are just trying to watch over us. While we are still alive and they have moved onto the next life, because during most of my experiences with seeing them for a split second, they don't tend to do any harm at all. Only making their existence still known to us, then vanishing quickly.
That's mostly why I'm not really afraid of them, only accepting of their presence, as long as their not trying to do any harm I don't mind.

following up what i said i think that in a moreish logical way i think we also may just see humans so much that they ppear in our prehepiral vison on accident because were so used to it like when you stare at something for a long time and loo at a blank wall ight after you can kinda see the object fading in and out lik outline? idk

honestly ive heard SO many stories about shadow people and whatnot and have seen them myself so i kind of have some theories.

See, I haven't done much research on them, but I do have a shadow person who seems to be attatched to me or something I have. I've named him (don't know the actual gender lol) Conner, and he follows me most every where. The first time I ever saw him, that I can remember, he was following me down the highway just outside my car. I was in a pretty rough place then, so idk if it had something to do with that, or maybe not at all. I have seen him fully, he doesn't stay TOO long, the longest would probably be about 20 mins at most. He makes me feel safe, and other times it's a bit eerie but it's fine lol. 

I've never seen shadow people with the exception of one event... It was more like the span if a couple weeks? I got a haunted plushie, and it had a zipper in the back like some stuffed animals that also double as purses. I opened it, and there was no pouch inside, just the stuffing... After that, the haunted plushie's conscience was still there, but I started seeing shadow people afterwards. I had no trouble chasing them off once I noticed, but I was seeing them in the apartment, and even in the woods outside the apartment while I was walking during the day. I haven't seen any before or since that incident, but it was really weird... The atmosphere in the apartment was super off from the time I opened the zipper to the time I removed them!

I’ve seen shadow people before but it was a pretty bad time in my life and I’m mentally ill so I could’ve hallucinated it. your theory is really interesting tho!!

dude those are demons
