part 3- shadow people – Author – Nicole Canfield readers feed back

I discount many things that are deemed supernatural, but something happened that I really can’t explain. When I was in high school, my younger brother and I were sitting across the table from one another and out of the corner of our eyes, we see a black shadowy form of someone. We both turn our heads to see it fully and it just folded in on itself and disappeared. To this day I can’t explain it.

goose bumps along my spine I think they come here half the time long blackness poured beside this plane fresh sage drying vandalized by rain night becomes an unfortunate curse blue orbs of light on the floors they burst but what if there’re in the room right now in their invisible cloaks somehow glasses of water circling my bed wish they’d haunt someone else instead half empty seems to be my cup wonder how hard it’d be to beat one up arms spent from throwing stones at dreams each night colder and darker it seems inclined to believe the mad hatter was right seems only fools are afraid of the night with the intellect cheese melted over grits floors cold on my knees need yo pray a little bit so if they leave before I wake my nights back is all I wish to take

ive seen a shadow man twice in my life and always catch something out of the corner of my eye. my first experience was when i was in grade 7 and i was doing my math homework in the living room. i just got this feeling i was being watched and it came from the left. i turned to my left and saw a brown colored see through shadow of a man peeking around the corner at me. he seemed to be shy cause he went back behind the corner not even 5 seconds after. i wonder if he meant for me to see him. the 2nd time was when i was walking at night with my sister, we just turned around a corner when i quickly looked down the street we were just on and i seen a black shadow of a man running across the street. i quickly glanced back but this time he was gone. he didn’t have that much time to make it all the way across the street when i took the 2nd look. never once felt threatened by these sightings although i have had some unnerving moments when you feel something “watching” you and nothings there.

I have been having these encounters for quite some time. It happens to me only when I take my ambien before bed. I take the lowest dose prescribed. However when it all started I had night lights in my room and they appeared hovering in corners of my room. I wasn’t ever afraid of them. . This is going to sound bizarre but I didn’t think by attempting to touch the shadow that it would be tangible … But it was. It wasn’t something I was able to grab a hold of but I could affect the flow of it by scooping it in a certain direction. I have switched bedrooms in the house that I stay in and have not put up my routine night light yet, and the past two nights I have just seen swarms of these shadow people. Some come sit beside me, some of them hover, some are just passing through. The shapes and sizes vary and I have These passed two nights seen the red eye and yellow eye. At first seeing the swarm did scare me because I was only use to seeing one or two.. But they are watching me. I have not gone as far as talking to them because I don’t want my mother in the next room to think I’m fucking crazy. I was on the phone with my friend describing the situation while it was happening. I’d shine my phone light on them and they would disappear but would slowly pile back into the room. Maybe I did this to keep myself calm, maybe I did this to entertain them, but I started to sing the music that I write. They just watched me as i sang and scooped the moving ones along in the air. I get a sensation on my skin from time to time when touching them. Not a heavy one, nothing wet. Just as if air was blowing on me, I’ve gotten use to it so it doesn’t make my hair stand up on end or give me goosebumps. I just wonder if anyone else has had this sensation. I just wish I had a deeper understanding of why i went from seeing just a couple to seeing so many. We’ll see what happens in the days to come. I don’t abuse my sleep medicine, as I have HIV and take other medication for that. I just feel like if I talk about my experience with a dr that they are going to think I’m crazy, and hey- maybe I am.

Good morning, I have a shadow lady, who is actually not all shadow, but some face and color, although those details fade almost instantly I get to look at her. She is always wearing a floral dress and has a hairstyle reminiscent of the 1950s. She has a pleasant smile, and when I see her out the corner of my eye, she is always in the doorway, as if she is peering around the doorway just to look in on me, as a mother would do looking in on a sleeping child. The most interesting thing about my friend*, is that she was also in my home in Australia for 14 years before I moved to the U.S. I hope she never goes away.

Thanks for the read…voted up +

My 7 year sister said recently that she sees someone, and the figure was tall thin and like a shadow. She said that he had little people shadows that were apart of him that follow her and just watch her now and then. She said he had grey flecks all over him and spoke to her in many different voices through his mind and she answered with her mind. He said he was here because he wanted to live again and wants her body. She said He cant and he got mad and walked through the wall. A 2 year old lives next door and a 6 year old a few doors down. We have givenn here some advice as to not let this get to her imagination or scare he so much and also to tell the spirits to go away and that they dont belong her. Is there any other advice we can give her for strength? She is only 7.

ive had alot od experinces with these shadow pepole each time i felt as if they were trying to attack me i use to keep getting this werid sleeping thing where i would wake up paralyzed struggling for air and id look in the corner of my eyes to see a talk shadow figure standing there i kept fighting until i could move and breath agin i am now 15 and have had all sorts of other werid things happen i dont know what these things are but the ones ive encountered were evil.

People say its creepy , I actually think it is comforting. Knowing a loved one is watching over you !

Kitty, she did one better than that: she moved! Nothing to report in the new home so far thank goodness. I was afraid it would follow her.

Yep, interdeminsional travelers they are. Watchers, from a parallel universe. Not spirits or ghosts or aliens really, just like advanced forms that are curious and elusive as Hell, the omega point has been reached by these wormhole traveling lightyear hippies. They know and eventually will show us things that will expand your consciousness or melt off your face. Its up to you, if you’ve seen them, its because they’ve let you. If they’ve let you, you’re either really cool or a total tool. Our dna is incomplete, our minds barely even function at a fraction of a fraction of there design. Keep your soul clean, its nearly time… I’ve seen postcards from the end of conceived time…

I definitely saw a shadow person in my daughter’s kitchen. It was just a tall, human-shaped blob, that I saw twice while she was at work. I didn’t mention it to her as I didn’t want to frighten her or make her afraid to live there, so I kept quiet until she called me after I returned home, and asked me if I had seen anything. That is when I told her what I had seen. She had seen the same thing as well as a bright ball that scurried away when she opened her door. It went through a wall and rattled her pots and pans in the cupboard on the other side of the wall.

I’ve had a variety of different experiences over the years .. some can be explained away and others have been downright terrifying. I’d like to blame them on an overactive imagination but since others have seen and evenwhat I have that’s not really possible. At this point I’m just looking for some answers. .and because some of the things I’ve read here has seemed very familiar I thought maybe this might be the place ..

I certainly didn’t mean to insult kitty or anyone else, was just reporting my findings. I don’t believe that im bipolar either. Im pretty content and happy, im not like clinically reclusive or anything, I go out and stuff, just seem to enjoy alone time more than most. I do believe something weird is happening to me, and its purely a TWO dimensional vision. No wrinkles, robes, hair or eye sockets. I don’t use drugs, a little pot back in college, years ago. I have read recently about bipolar hallucinations and among them most commonly shadow people. Maybe one causes the other or vice versa, maybe not. However a connection is somehow there. Mental illness doesn’t account for me spinning around in my bed and barely catching my breath. Im not over weight, don’t smoke, don’t have sleeping disorders and don’t take prescription or illegal drugs of any kind as other websites will suggest. I admit that I have become obsessed with this topic recently as I have found it so common. And its The only truly strange phenomenon that I have ever experienced first hand. I search the web often for accounts of them speaking to people, as I feel unique to this. Especially asking me to come with him. That’s the scary part for me. My girlfriend (ex) who has a past studying the Wicca stuff even said during this period, without me saying a word about it “there’s something here” . She said she felt like she was being watched and that it was there for me and just wanted her to go asleep. She stopped coming over. I made a bunch of those blair witch stick figure thingys out of small pine branches and hung them from trees just for a laugh last year. In retrospect, it all began around the same time. When my girlfriend noticed the presence here, I joked, I think I invited them here. Who knows, maybe we’re all crazy, maybe we’re the only sane ones. All I know is something watches me from time to time, and it “wants you to come with us” . Mentioned ex says “just don’t go, it can’t be good”. I wonder if I haven’t already been, and if that’s why my attitude went a little south. Maybe they did suck a little soul from my chest. Maybe I should turn off the coffee pot, my thumbs hurt.” ancient aliens in my bedroom, whispering in my ear”

experienced shadow people – first women with long dark hair dressed in black hovering over my bed, then single tall, dark figures who would wear long robes. Robes touched my legs, I could feel the touch and hear the rustle of the garment.

One night – early morning, that is – two of them showed up, one was the usual shadow person – tall and dark, the other was a three-dimensional figure , very small, dressed in what appeared to be hunting clothes , long white hair, terribly old looking, wrinkled face with empty eye sockets—-

I had woken up by one of them touching my wrist.

I was terrified.

Knew I had to do something, so I checked up on the meds I was taking & found out that Ambien and Oxycodon produce hallucinations in a lot of patients.

Dropped both – been sleeping well ever since.

Been hearing something that sounds like gunshots coming from inside the house. Nothing there of course. Goggled the experience and wound up at a bi-polar blog. You good folks should try it also. Apparently the shadow people are like the most common symptom among bipolar sufferers. I don’t know any personally. And have never been to a doctor myself for anything other than broken bones and stitches. Prolly wont go now either. But, it does seem to be a connection . I wonder how many of you are reclusive like me. That’s the only other bipolar trait besides the shadows and voices that I share with those folks. What a strange phenomenon. Especially for someone like me who doesn’t really believe in anything supernatural. Sleep easy all.

Its been a year since it happened, still not a day goes by that I don’t wonder about it. He was to my left, beside the bed, kinda leaned over in my face. He whispered “we want you to come with us”. In the days following I woke up with my head at the foot of the bed, gasping for air like nothing I’ve ever experienced before or after. I know my dreams. This was somehow very different. I was invited somewhere. WHERE????

Thanks! && its been happening the past two days…so very recently! I’m not very religious (at all) I wouldn’t even know what to say! I have holy water however? Maybe a dream catcher too?

I dont know what I’ve encountered the past two days..but I literally am forcing myself not to sleep now.

Two nights ago I woke up from my sleep for absolutely no reason (which never happens) and what I thought was my dad trying to scare my by hovering his face very close to mine in the dark…apparently was not because I threw my hands at the figure as to push it back and I lost my breath and panicked. I immediately turned on my light.

Then last night I woke AGAIN to what it seemed to be something pulling my covers off me. I freaked and stayed awake until the sun rose. I then fell back asleep and dreamt that I was trying to get out of my room but something on the other side was holding the door shut. When I managed to pull my door open my mom came running out of the bathroom door saying the same thing happened and that someone else was living with us.

I am so paranoid…and already deeply afraid of the dark, I don’t know what to do :[

Hi Kitty.

In the last house I lived in , in the UK, something was always catching my attention from the corner of my eye as I watched TV. It got to the stage where it really got annoying and one night I said to my husband ” what is that” He was quite psychic and said it was nothing..but the way he said it made me sure he had seen something. There was never a bad vibe or anything in the house, and I never actually saw anything I could identify, just a quick movement in my peripheral vision and always from the same place.

This time last year i had an experience with one of these shadow beings, I will be writing a hub on it at some point so people can see if they had a similar experience to me.

My experience was weird because i saw both the shadow man with the fedora hat and long coat but i also saw a black orb with orange light coming off it. Looking back the two must be connected, for them both to turn up on the same night was odd to say the least.

I too for a while thought that these shadown people are just beings that jump from dimension to dimension but i reckon they are actually spirt/demon beings. They do come off as observing us but the fact they turn up when we sleep is a strange time to observe. I also believe majority of people are not hallucinating, we are all definitely seeing the same things. I for one knew nothing of shadow being descriptions being on the web until i decided to look up what i witnessed, this can only show that this thing does exist.

Great hub btw 🙂

i have always had very good dream recall, and have had lucid dreams since the 3rd grade. my first encounter with these intelligent entities was 3 years ago. in a half dream state, one of these beings was shaking my bed violently i did not like it. also, today during a nap one was hovering next to my face, and what almost looked like try to scream at me. i am not scared of them tho, while in astral form i swat at them and they seem to get the picture and fade away

Oh my godnow I know what it was! About six years ago my two friends and I were standing in an old abbey graveyard at night( silly I know!) I had my back right at an old headstone and we were chatting and my friend pointed and couldn’t speak and when I turned I looked up and this man with a hat the exact same as that Image above! It was the perfect shape of a person but it was pitch black! Like a shadow standing erect! I screamed , picked up one of my friends and literally ran with her out the gate lol ( adrenaline lol) , there were lights every where and j could see my friends clearly so when I looked at this thing believe me it was not human plus my friends were looking in my direction the whole time and never saw any one actually approach but just ” appear” plus there was gravel and pebbles and we heard nothing despite that it wa “dead” quiet , excuse the pun!

It was the only time I’ve seen one but that was enough

I was on the Internet last night and came across a story about shadow people and took me back to my child hood I was about 7 at the time so 27 years ago I was in bed and the landing had a widow which a street lamp lit up I woke up and looked at the door and there was a dark figure there which took up most of the doorway It was the shape of a man arms legs but no features just pitch black with bright glowing red eyes it just stood there against lit landing I remember sitting there terrfied looking back at it I then closed my eyes counted to 5 and it was gone I told my mother and father about what had happened and they said I was dreaming or seeing things maybe a shadow from the street light but I now what I saw and can picture it like it was yesterday and will never forget it

The first part of this article exactly happened to me! I believe they are real, and doctors used them as illness. How can it be an illusion when you see a face in the clouds or figure and everyone else see’s it. The theory that they are travelers from a different dimension, is plausible. Its not an illness Im pretty sure. Crazy as I sound, no one can call me crazy, because they haven’t proven it 100% if they are real or not.

I saw, what I saw, when I saw it! Amazing!

I’ve heard about these characters and find them to be pretty durn creepy. Even if they are just watching, well, that’s creepy is it not? Have you ever heard of reptilian shape shifters? Some people think that’s what they are…the watchers. Why would they want to watch us sleep? Sounds kinda boring for them.

Wow, creepy but interesting, I truly enjoyed this, thank you,

Kitty: I love this hub. I could read this a million times over. Votes straight again acroos the borad.

OH one more thing SMILE.. thebluestar and I are co-writing a hub, with your permission of course I would love to add you to the list of characters. Yes you would be under this name. I know you are going to love love love it. Please let me know! Thanks

Creepy. I have seen these shadows out the corner of my eye ~ so brief that i can not even be sure it happened. IGlad to know more. Thanks.

if you have an email address I can contact you at I can describe a few of my experiences. They’re pretty disturbing to say the least so I don’t want to leave them here for everyone to see, I wouldn’t want to be the cause of a nightmare.

I think the reason everyone has such different experiences is because we’re not all experiencing the same thing. Some are ghosts, some are demons, and some are visitors who are just curious.

Very interesting hub! I believe that there are shadow people although I have yet to see one. I know for me at times I get the sense of something being near me or sense someone “watching” me when nothing is around. For some reason I always had a deep curiosity with the supernatural and I really enjoyed this hub!

I used to get “attacked” by shadow people on a daily basis over a span of a few years during out of body experiences that happened to me accidentally. I also saw them occasionally as a young child. In my opinion they’re evil. I don’t understand why it happened to me and I never want to encounter them ever again.

I just say “hello”… but I’ve never gotten a response.

one time i was driving on a desolate state highway when a black dog darted out in front me which i surely hit…. i stopped the car only to find no dent, no blood, no fur, and no corpse… i just assumed it was a “shadow dog” so i whistles and said “here boy”… but i got no response – dead silence…. so i got in my car and left… i dont know what people fear what they dont understand, you dont know if it can hurt you yet, so why be scared?

My house is loaded with shadow people all the time. I AM FULLY AWAKE when I see them. No it is not a figment of my over active imagination that Psychologists claim in your hub. I have many that are here every single night. New ones pop up too. They do not disappear when noticed. They stay. Usually they are in the same spot as well. I have seen the full black mist, the very large black spot, animals, people and yes I have watched them move up the hall and across the room. I just Hello yes you can stay but do not try to scare my dogs. I love it. I spend a great deal of my time wandering graveyards.
