Shadow Beings

Woah, that's crazy!

Growing up my mother was an apartment manager at a small complex. We lived in the front main apartment home. It was the only one not connected to the rest of the apartment houses. We lived there when I was about age 3 to 8. I don’t recall when it started, I just remember being fine with it. It never bothered me and I would just kinda brush it off as an annoyance more than anything. 

Wow that's really crazy. Thanks for sharing. That reminds me I may have seen something of that nature a few weeks ago. I thought I saw a shadow and sensed a presence coming down the basement stairs. Enough that I actually said hello to it. 

omg thats so creepy! the neighborhood i live in has a lot of weird paranormal shit, (the pit [a super deep pit with a lot of broken glass and furniture, and the plants grow suspiciously well around it], an obviously haunted house [which ive been inside!] an abandoned barn with super sketch vibes [perks of living in the south] and a house that supposedly belongs to an old slaveowner, the basements closed off there.) 

Wow that's pretty crazy...never heard of one with a hat before. Hmmm

I honestly don't know what I would do if one approached me, however I have had a few occasions seeing them at my old apartment.  one day I was in my room and I had to close my door because the shadow was just keep peeking around the corner and every time I looked up it would back in the other room...it's pretty intense 

They are freaky! My dad's story really gave me the creeps. My family has a lot of paranormal stories. 

I think I had an experience with a shadow entity when I was younger, and to be honest it still has me shook to this day because I can't explain it.

Wow that is pretty terrifying. I wouldn't be able to sleep either after that traumatic incident. I think the mainstream needs to come clean and officially acknowledge these beings as real. There are too many encounters to dismiss it as people's imaginations running wild. It's ridiculous how long these cover ups have been going on.

I'm not sure if me and your dad had the same experience but when I was younger me and my friend started seeing this creature a lot like if it was following us, we would see it at school, in the woods and in buildings. 

Thank you for sharing. I don't my dad's sighting had legs though. It was floating around. 

I have an encounter! 

Thanks for sharing aworldofhoney! These shadow beings seem to be a rather common sighting in the realm of paranormal things. 

i think i may have had an encounter

this isnt too much of a 'shadow being' story, but when my grandma lived at her old house I would hear things at night like faint footsteps. it was always creepy there, atleast to me. my parents would tell me that nothing was wrong, but there was a story that my mom told me that kinda made me a little weirded out.

  Hello all!

    I remember a very few years ago, that I was sitting on my couch. I faintly remember being drawn to something in the entrance to the hallway, and so I just stared for a few seconds. After that though, I'd seen the monochromatic figure of a woman (with very, very faint colors to her) walking to the entrance before subtly disappearing in the blink of an eye. She had her hair pulled tightly into a bun, with lightly applied makeup and a boater hat tied onto her head by a silk bow on her chin. She carried an opened parasol, with pink floral patterns, and wore a very puffy light pink dress. She looked to me, looking exactly like those paintings from the 1800's, except actually alive in a way, moving and all. 

Stay safe out there,

Oh, I saw them a lot in 2020-21, it was a pretty mysterious experience, especially because a lot of other strange things were happening in my house then. Also in 2023, I saw a "light" shadow man - a spot of bright color, the color of an angel's halo, in the shape of a human.

i've had LOTS of experiences with this creatures, most of them happend when i was an inexperienced witch, i used to make meditations without protections and it was AWFUL, they would apear in the middle of the night or while i was using mirrors in my house, i learned how to kind of scare them away but sometimes they still come back

I see shadow beings move around the corner of my vision all the time, ive gotten used to it by now. i can never tell if it's dissosiation or acutal spirits though

Wowowow I didn't expect to find a topic that would fit my exact experience!

So when I was like 10 I was playing some facebook game on my laptop when I heard knocking on the window - keep in mind I live on the 4th floor with no trees or any other possible disturbances in sight, with no balconies on that side of the building. I'm not sure what I initially thought, I guess I reasoned it could have been a bird pecking the window like it's stupid or stomping its feet on the window sill.

The knocking continued for a few seconds with a stable frequency though increasing in intensity until I got fed up, turned to face the window and peeking from the right side saw the upper body of a shadow person with one hand on my window, the other hand curled into a fist and knocking. When it saw me it stopped knocking and slowly retreated, completely disappearing behind the wall.

As it did I was frozen in shock and too startled to even consider what I should be doing and when it was gone I ran up to the window looking around to no avail as it was already gone. I didn't do anything about it, didn't know what could even be done so I just sat back down and continued playing like nothing happened, this time scared out of my mind until I managed to take my mind off the event.

Because I was so young and never had anything paranormal happen to me before or after that, it's no surprise this was a pretty formative experience for me. I was interested in the paranormal since childhood and having listened to polish paranormal youtubers' disclaimers before every story they retold about how it might seem cool to see a ghost but it's no joke, I thought understanding this made me so cool and mature and then boom just like that here's an encounter deal with it. Thought you were above wanting to see a scary thing? Too bad because even though you're scared right now while the memory is still fresh, years from now on you'll be second-guessing this event at least once every 2 weeks, unable to let it go, hoping to see something again in hopes of proving what you saw was real.

I went over the event in my head countless times since then, asking questions and trying to find answers. Going over the facts again and again I concluded it couldn't have been a dream, a hallucination or something I deliberately made up or anything I could possibly consider. As I grew up the memory became blurry but even in moments of doubt I could remember the fact that I used to remember everything with extreme vividness for years after the fact. Though I can still recall the fear in the moment I saw it.

Maybe I got a bit too into describing the aftermath rather than the actual event but as I said it did leave a big impact on me and my life. If a shadow person ever bothers anyone here please catch it, put it in a mailbox and ship it to Poland or smth so I can finally be at peace

That’s scary! Growing up I always used to see this shadow figure in my room and whenever my mom put me to bed the second she walked downstairs I would scream and cry and tell her I saw a shadow man in the middle of my room that was trying to talk to me. Saw him for years until one day my mom had to work at a place she never had been before. A man she didn’t know came up to her and started telling the story about how her children (me and my sister) saw a shadow man every night. He told her that the man doesn’t mean any harm but that he used to live in my house. My mom was shocked that he knew this since she never met him, but then he told her he’s like a medium and he knows those kind of stuff about people when he sees them. I still think it’s so scary everytime I hear that story
