shadow people

i like to think of myself as someone who exercises a healthy amount of skepticism when dealing with potential paranormal/supernatural activity, but one thing i can say i 100% believe in is the existence of shadow people. 


i've had countless experiences throughout the years with them, and i've always notice there to be spans of time where a higher influx of these entities seem to be in my presence. in my current home, i tend to see them peeking around my bedroom doorframe and on the staircase; nothing ever nefarious, just existing in the same space as me. i've heard many explanations as to what they really are (outside the realm of hallucinations caused by psychosis, sleep deprivation, drug use, etc.) these explanations range from extraterrestrials to spirits trapped between planes of existence. 

what are everyone's experiences with shadow people? what exactly do you think they are?

I use to see them as a kid all the time in a house I semi grew up in.

As a kid I'm like hmm I assume its just my eyes playing tricks, I was about 6...

They would form into shapes of other creates or just be a figure I could see moving within the darkness. I remember one time one looked like "Frankenstein" but I hadn't seen the movie at that stage, just a cartoon version of him I assume.

I have a book somewhere, it was for school and we had to write what we did on the weekend or something and I drew a shadow person in the hall way of my story of "camping out in the loungeroom" hahaha. 

I remember telling a store owner I see shadow people and she believed in me, but as a kid I knew adults were quick to judge/say your seeing things so I was like oh but its probably just my eyes playing up and shes like yeah maybe.

I remember my first encounter with a shadow person vividly, i saw it in a dream and woke up instantly to a sleep paralysis with it on my chest suffocating me while looking me in my eyes. Couple months after that I did a guided meditation that was like a trip through your subconscious and i saw it again.

I was maybe 5 years old an just thought it was my step father for months walking up and down the halls of our house that each night I would wake up to, one night I had woken up but it felt different the door of the bathroom across the hall was more open than normal out of the darkness of the bathroom was a tall shadow looking man. It had the outlines of clothes that looked like they where from the mafia it stared at me with red glowing eyes, I sat in my bed staring at it what seemed forever then when I blinked my eyes a couple time it was right next to my bed staring into my eyes. I forced myself to look away terrified. Years after that I thought it was my imagination then last year(after I moved with my real dad and I was visiting for the summer) I had brought it up and apparently she saw the same strange shadow man in our house as a kid I had called him Mr. stomps cause of the loud boots he wore

I remember as a kid having a really vivid dream of a shadow person walking towards me. It was really scary for me because I was around 6 at the time, but I still get weirded out by it. I was in a corner so I had nowhere to run. It took place at my grandmas old house that always just freaked me out. The house was old and I often heard stuff in there. Not sure what it was, but I never really thought about it as a kid because I didnt want to scare myself to badly, mostly because I was already a nervous enough kid. Pretty weird.

ahh omg it's comforting to hear that some1 else sees these shadow ppl too!!

i used to see them a lot when i was younger. there would always be 3 of them surrounding my bed when i was sleeping & it was such a scary experience. in that house i used to always see them in the hallways & empty rooms (always dark, but if the hall was lit and the rooms were dark they would peek out into the hall or stay standing in the room). nobody believed me & just said it was me having an "over-imaginative mind". i was later told that the owner before us died in that house, so that's extra creepy.

i now live in a different place and i see them less often, but one of my most serious encounters with one was in this house. one of these ppl was standing in my hallway (fully lit). i was rlly shocked but i politely asked it to not hurt me and that i had to go around it and that i won't touch it. i walked around it and it did nothing to me, so i thanked it (ik that's so dumb but i didn't wanna get bad karma for being rude to it). that's my most recent encounter and that was ~1.5 years ago. i've recently tried to cut myself off from this stuff so i haven't seen much, but i do occaissionally see the odd shadow person or pale figure going around.

One time when I was a kid I was eating lunch with my mom when I looked out the window and saw a tall shadow person bend-over looking into the window of the house behind my house

Being the dumbass kid I was I screamed and pointed at where I saw the thing to my mom but when I looked again it wasnt there

I didnt really think much of it and just kinda moved on with my life since it’s probaly just my imagination

At night or when I'm alone in a room, I've always seen large, long shadows on the door frame that look similar to people but somehow not. I'm a very paranoid person and I constantly listen to loud music when I'm alone because I feel like it's somehow protecting me. It probably sounds strange but it really calms me down a lot.

I always have lights on at night because I often get the feeling that I'm not really alone. When I sing I also get a feeling of security. I don't know why, but ever since I was younger, around 9 years old, I was very interested in paranormal things and watched documentaries and wanted to find out more and more whether there was actually something there or whether it was really just paranoia. Even when I stay over at friends' houses I get the feeling. I used to be really embarrassed to say that I needed some kind of lighting in the room because I wanted to see if anything had moved somewhere.
