Shadow
People Stories (one)
One
of the most popular topics on the psychic detective site deals
with the subject of shadow people. Following are some of the
comments and observations submited by viewers of the site on
this intriguing topic.
Hi, I recantly (last night, actually) had a dream about shadow
people. They kept peering at me from around doorways, and running
past me. I don't know what it means, but it was very scary.
When I woke up, pure paranoia. I did not like it at all. What
does all that mean?

I saw something about 5 years ago:It was around 10pm and I was
coming out from the subway and into a "driveway" of a community
centre parking lot. There was moderate light and I was with
my friend. We had come back from shopping and I was talking
about makeup or clothes and then I saw these two "people" that
were kind of block-shaped. They were solid black and kinda jogged
past me about 40 feet ahead. I was still rambling on and on
about clothes until I realized they dissappeared before they
hit the grassy area. I hadn't even blinked and both figures
just vanished. I stopped talking and kept starring at where
they were and I stopped walking. My friend immediately knew
I saw something weird and told me to "stop it" because she's
scared of "creepy" things. It wasn't really scary but I was
confused. The shadows were not against flat surfaces such as
walls but I realized shortly after they almost appeared to come
out of the wall. They were standing upright and 3-D (according
to my eyes) - which made it seem like they had substance. I
knew it wasn't coming off a reflection or anything because there
were no cars passing by there and the other side of the driveway
were traintracks that were dark. They appeared right before
my eyes, in front of me and dissappeared a few moments later
before I could even blink. I'm not a paranormal or supernatural
type of person, I'm not religious and I am scientifically-oriented,
so I'm not too freaked out about "evil" entities as I don't
believe in them and somehow rationalize it to some phenomena
of the brain. But I can't really explain what I saw. I came
across the term "shadow people" long after I saw them. It appears
most people see them from the corner of their eyes so I'm not
sure if what I saw really fits into the category of "shadow
people".

Hi. Thanks for a wonderful website. just visited it today. Read
the articles about shadow people. I have also encountered this
about 2 months ago, although i did not know what it was at the
time. I was at work attending to out-patients. a mother with
her baby entered. we greeted and she took a seat. while i finished
with the file of the previous patient, i looked up (i was drawn/prompted
to look up by an invisible force) and saw this dark,black figure
enter the room. it was male, skinny and walked with a slight
stoop. i could not see any details of a person - just total
black, but i could make out the legs and arms as they were swinging
while it walked. it followed the path of the patient and sat
directly behind this woman! it was so close to her, it almost
touched her! i kept staring, and it made eye contact with me.
i did not see any eyes, but felt he intensity of it. i immediately
looked away. it felt eerie, but i was definitely not scared.
when i looked back, it was gone. i remained calm afterwards
as if nothing had happened. what i remember afterwards was that
this woman also saw it, as if she expected it or knew it. i
will never forget what i saw. can you please e-mail me back
and give me your opinion about this incident. ps: i am not psychic
and dont see ghosts or any apparitions. this incident has bothered
me a lot. i live in South Afica. my work is in a rural setting
where a lot of black people practise muti or black magic as
you know it. i was brought up in christianity and have never
experienced or believed in muti. please respond many thanks

I have seen many shadow peole in my home. Dark figures, like
people standing together in groups. They are not threatening
but sure scare me terribly. I have seen ghosts in my home. One
very vivid and the others faint. The one lady ghost was in a
night dress with long dark hair standing and leaning down talking
but I couldn't hear her works. I was so scared I stared in shock
until she disapeared. My home was built in 1920's and I have
researched the home and there have been no strange happenings
reported. This is not my only experiences with paranormal. I
have had an Alien acounter as well in St. Catharines Ontario
10 years ago that to this day has terrified me and I do not
talk about this to anyone in fear that they might think I'm
crazey but I clearly remember everything about it. I have had
psychic abbilities and dreams. They have not happened in years
now. I have looked online for people who have had simular experiences
but none are just like mine (descriptions). What I read about
shadow people on this site is close but the things I saw where
shadows of people like beings standing in groups and some where
very dark. Like true shadows only standing upright all around
the room. I have seen flashing of dark figures as well.

i am truly interested in developing a psychic defense. i have
seen "shadows" all my life, however they arent always around.
i am interested in finding out who red rita is. she has been
with me for almost ten years. i pray and i have needed to use
prayer as a defense more than four times in my life, since i
was a child. i am afraid of the dark even during the day now.
i sleep with lights on, not nite lights. i see future events
in my own life and probably the lives of others. i have had
one urgent message dream, but no one to tell it to. I have been
recently requested by red rita to seek someone out to help me
and her. No red rita is not me, no i am not insane. i sense
spirits, and they have tried to "talk" to me. i never see them.
i truly just need someone to help me. i truly don't want any
attention brought to this and am not seeking money or fame.
i would like to be famous, but not for this, certainly not for
this. please if someone would just quietly help me. i would
be forever grateful.

This is about one of your articles. The shadow people. You written
that if anyone had ever experienced anything like it to share.
Well I hope this is appropriate with the article to share with
you. I've only shared this with my family and now you. I am
not sure if my experience could be construed as with a shadow
person or not but so far the article on your site has had the
most explanation I’ve read so far.Here goes nothing.The first
time was about nine years ago. At the time of occurrence I lived
in an old school building with my husband and our three children.
My mother and siblings lived at the East end while my husband
and I along with our three children at the time lived in the
West wing. Our kitchen and living was open.
The bedrooms were off to the side, the only entrance from the
living room was through an opening in the wall, and otherwise
you’d have to go through the hallway. There was no door between
the living room and bedrooms it was completely open at that
time. With the bedroom lights off were off it looked like a
dark void. This particular night, my two girls were visiting
with their grandmother at the East wing, my husband at work.
I sat on the sofa nursing my son. I liked the quiet so I had
nothing but soft lullaby music playing for his comfort and ease
into sleep. There was a sudden disquiet as one may often feel
when alone in such a large building. I caught movement from
the TV screen across the room, which was not on and sat directly
in front of me. So I watched the blank dark screen for a minute
and saw a tall black figure walk past and from his stance I
could see he was also looking into the TV screen. Quickly I
turned my head to look into the kitchen behind me. Nothing.
I glanced down at my now sleeping son and contemplated how far
it was from where I sat to the door. I had every intention of
running.
I looked back to the screen and watched as the figure moved
slowly from one side of the room to the other, again. After
gathering up my son, I prepared to fle it was then I happened
to glance at the screen, again. This time the shadow stood directly
behind me, hands resting on the sofa and staring directly face
forward into the black blank TV screen. I froze momentarily
then slowly turned to stare at, nothing. I ran. The next occurrence
happened once again at night. My husband, my brother and I had
just finished playing monopoly. Both my brother and me were
beaten badly by my husband, the monopoly champ. Can’t say he
didn’t warn us. The men went outside to smoke a cig and chat
while I volunteered to put away the game. It was a few minutes
after they left that I had caught movement out from the corner
of my eye. Turning I saw nothing.
It happened a couple more times the last being when I saw it
enter the bedroom area. OK, fine, I was fed up so I called out
loudly, “I know your there so stop playing games.” I caught
movement and with out turning my head I watched as a shadow
stood just inside the doorway. I ignored it and continued with
putting away the monopoly game. I noted it was tall and slender
with the build of a man. Quickly I turned and faced where it
stood. It had its arms crossed leaning against the doorjamb,
legs crossed at the ankles. It seemed to visibly start and then
slowly move back into the shadows. This time I felt no fear
of it only a bit of frustration. It’s presence felt very male
and non-threatening. I went back to the task of putting away
the game. Later I told my mother of what I saw. We moved later
but not because of the shadow. We wanted to be closer to town
when our children started school and to also have a place of
our own.
The Last time I saw something was about six months ago. I awoke
with the feeling I of paralysis. Sleeping flat of my back, I
couldn’t move. I had the feeling of a slight pressure at the
front of my neck between my collarbones directly over my pulse.
I swallowed and felt the pressure deepen. Opening my eyes I
stared up at the ceiling thinking that I needed my husband to
awake and help me. The pressure deepened more. I tried to swallow
but could not. I tried to move my hands and could not. I tried
to move my head; anything but there was no use. I could not
move. I could barely breath. The pressure of what felt like
someone’s thumb continued to increase pressing into my pulse.
I thought if only I could swallow, if only I could take a breath
then I could call out for help. At the time I could not comprehend
what was happening. Still today I don’t quite understand what
happened.
Tried to move my head and concentrated with all I could until
finally I was ably to turn it to my right and then stared into
huge cat like eyes that was the color of an orange blaze, almost
unreal. The eyes widened as if in shock, their dark pupils enlarged
and I felt the pressure on my pulse point lessen. I straightened
my head quickly and swallowed, took a deep breath a screamed.
I caught movement and watched it run from my room. It had to
duck its head as it ran out the door. It was silent, without
a sound. Not once did it run into or trip over anything in its
path, which would have been a fan, a desk, a chair, and the
bed itself. I sat up in bed and screamed for someone to go after
it pointing directly at it as it fled. Then there was silence.
No one stirred except for our dog and it was momentarily.
Everything was as if it had never happened. I listened for a
sound, any, but there was not one. Terrified I laid awake, for
how long I don’t know, just staring at the place where it was
crouched next to my bed. Unsure of what happened I was afraid
to move my eyes from that spot. Was it a dream where I was awake
yet still caught in the haze of sleep in itself? Or was it real?
I don’t know and cannot answer but it felt real just the same.
It was Tall, slender and seemed to be male. It was unlike the
shadow before. Where the first and second shadow had more of
a build to it this one was more slender, tall, but slimmer.
The first shadow freaked me out and I did not stop to feel,
I only fled. The second had the feeling of protectiveness and
curiosity mixed with a slight hint of amusement. The third just
flat out freaked the hell out of me. But was it real? I feel
crazy even contemplating the idea. I filed it as another mystery
of my life, just one more among many yet to be explained.
