Please pay attention this happened: I usually sit in the garage in my truck to get away from the kids and ruckus, just to have some quiet time. Check this out...

I was sitting in the truck, in my garage; when my yard lights came on, that are mounted to each side of my garage. As they came on, I noticed a shadow of someone standing there reflected on the wall at the left side front of my truck. I looked, but no one was standing there. As I got out it faded away. I got out and looked around the side of the house...but nobody. It was very odd. So I recreated the shadow myself, placing it exactly where I seen it. It gets better...because....

In order for someone to cast that shadow; they would have had too be standing directly in front, and against the grill of my truck.

Hi, you experienced something called sleep paralysis, I had this 4 times when I was in my early twenty's, Each time was different and got more terrifying as they went on. Its been 30 years since I had them, yet I can still remember the absolute fear that accompanies these attacks. Also I will never forget the dark shape of someone/thing rising through my bedroom floor.
Apparently only about 8% of people experience this, some get it for years, some only the once (but once is enough) there is a lot on the web about this, just google it.

it happened to me once, when i was a kid, but i just dismissed it as my mind induced it, even tho i just knew there was something in the room with me... earlier that day, another kid told me a story about something getting into kids rooms and killing them, and my mind took that and ran... never happened since then, that i know of


our own minds can play some pretty dirty tricks on us...

ive had something once happen to me when i was in high school the year 2010 it was just a typical night no big difference i was working on a project on my laptop when i peered out of my window and saw a cloud like shadow moving under the lamppost i looked again and the shadow on the ground moved closer to my window and a dark figure wearing some kind of black cloak appeared before me i got a chill down my back as it glared at me with its glowing red eyes i tried to look away but couldn't in a split second the black cloak figure turned to a black mist and dashed away has anybody else have this happen to them

This sounds like a common side effect of at one time often prescribed drug for sleep called Dalmane and sister drugs. It has hung around for a few other reasons and in medicine chests but it has kind of quietly been withdrawn or reformulated before the effects resulted in law suits. But night terrors and paralysis mimicking things like MS or brain tumors freak people out so bad that they often have PTSD and or start drinking to sleep. Poor quality sleep and just sleep deprivation will cause people to hallucinate.

And or pick up on presences they would not normally notice. Telepathic's often block out their ability to see all the time because people would think they were crazy if they started talking about what they see.

kenshin518 that is a djinn not a shadow person, sounds like your seeing after images as well.

Blackfire214 that is a right brain function most people can't do & you expressing your self is right on cue, good girl! lol

You guys are all talking about different entities lol, you can take pictures of djinn, demons, angels ect.

You can't take pictures of shadow people... it is like Mightymoe said our own minds can play some pretty dirty tricks on us... but the thing is tho is that while we our playing tricks on our selves that what we are actually seeing is real... It is just that science as it stands right now, only deals with physical matter.

There is no science that actually trys too understand the mind & psyche at the level or more accurately the dimension it very is.

it is due to most of the populace believing in only physical aspects of life & do not count the magnetic field that people generate individually via nervous system as a actual dimension in it's own accord.

Shadow people are entities that link to your psyche mostly to people with trauma that they can not deal with consciously & feed on negative outburst which is why Blackfire214 poped in the room to say, also you can not take pictures of shadow people because of that fact, if you outwardly see a shadow person that has gather enough energy, it is going to be about 0.007 milliseconds in view of your line of sight. no that is not a made up number, it is when inertia starts to disperse from a object this is what let's them move the way they can. Kinda like if a person was able to absorb & distribute dark matter into themselves on a quantum cellular level this causes not only removal of inertia but enables said "person or entity" to harmonize just enough so it is able to move fast as light can from the build up of momentum from said energy.

Oh I should share something as well as everyone else has, I have actually been attacked on a physical level by shadow people. only weapon is to try remain positive, courage & faith in ones self. think of someone you love, think of some music that makes you just want to scream hell yes lol... love is the strongest force because it is the perfect balance of both the negative & positive side. eh but to end my sharing I was meditating & was depressed at the time. because as you all know it is just very hard to find someone who will just accept you for yourself... anywho it absorbed my energy & try to suffocate me so I would pass out so it could just keep feeding it self because it got greedy, so I did just what I stated & I hit it in it's chest or what I think was it's chest & it hit my closest door very hard. But as I was on my bed at the time, which is like 30 feet away lol no way I can say it was fake or that it was just all in my mind as it physically hit my closet.

Take what I say as you will, Do not care if anyone believes me, My experiences are my own & have saved me & share just in cause someone needs a way they just can't figure how to defend themselves against something that trys to attack your nervous system as well as your psyche... Take care & Happy New years everyone! =)

As creepy as RDLADYBUG58 sounds... she is correct unfortunately but you have to be in a loving state of mind... I really hope that is what she meant? lol because if not, well... hmmm either hopefully she is joking.. or she is really possessed... lol.. I hope to god she is ok & was just joking or meant with with love... xD

While i have never seen a per say "shadow person" i do avoid hospitals and cemetaries because i have been a crosser simce childhood and although i have learned that i will never be hurt by those i see iy still creeps me out when i ocassionally become the object of their focus

People in the middle east belive that these are Gijiin or smoke people. They are also know as Genies. These are not into granting wishes. They were probably some of the original fallen spirits. Out for payback for being put on the shelf.

They were probably some of the original fallen spirits.

That sounds like the most logical explanation to me.

Yeah it's called sleep paralysis, I have it often. It's the worst .

Many times, I remember the first when I was 9 years old like it was yesterday. Forget trying to speak, it will never be the first thing to work . Begin by trying with all your concentration to just moving a finger , then opening & closing your hand. Once the movement can begin near your shoulder, only a minute or so is left. This is merely from my experience & with more practice can I care to remember ...also, I must be an anomoly because the bodies & faces I see are in full resolution so to speak , not shadows. Als the more you panic the longer it takes. Get angry but don't panic. Hope this helps next time

I had a special gift of seeing and sometimes even talking to shadow people or ghosts but that gift faded after I cut back on stimulants and slept every three or four days. Even the sounds of people having sex around me faded but I think that happened when I turned the sound down at redtube

damn ghosts having sex... i hate them...

Haven't seen any of them...yet. But they turn on the lights all the time. I don't mean an electrical problem or faulty bulb, they actually move and turn on the switches..pretty bizarre.

they work for the electric company...

A couple years ago I was sitting in the shadow of a lamp post along the side of a road and behind me was a road for a neighborhood. As I sat there for awhile before someone pulled up on the road behind me and started to approach, he got a few feet towards me and shouted, as I turned I looked at the ground and thought "go" at my own shadow the pole's shadow hid and saw it go after him. He ran back to his vehicle and turned on the lights inside before speeding off. It was some point in the middle of night. Kind of cool as hell.

My son saw one, I believe him because he was crying & shaking. He was 15 at the time & described exactly what others have seen! He said it had a hood! When he looked at it, whatever it was disappeared. My son is an athlete & not an attention seeker, he has also has seen & heard other things! We moved from that place & he hasn't seen or heard anything else.

I have seen the shadow man too. He has a broad rimmed hat and long black coat that kinda flares out a bit at the bottom, you too? Oh tall and thin no face or feet just a haze,it is regular and has never caused me fear.

I have similar experience, while combing my hair, I just saw a shadow running to our bathroom..
