Collected "Facts" about shadow people.


Amarali2012

Recommended Posts

First off DISCLAIMER!: Just like all of you, I have no PROOF of fact. This is a collection of seemingly factual points gathered by countless personal accounts, including many of my own.

Yes we have all seen them, that is why you are reading this post. There seems to be more posts about this topic than any other. We all seem to agree that these entities are becoming more and more common and increasing in number. I would first like to state that there are not only different types/ranks of shadow people, but there are also other entities that are very similar in appearance, hang out in the same places, and act the same. But these others are VERY different from "shadow people", and can potentially harm you.

The different types reported have been seen in groups or just one or a few, lingering just out of your line of site or fleeing when you see them, usually seen at night or in the dark, and almost always hiding in other shadows. But they do come out and show themselves to some people. They do sometimes "free stand" as I call it. A free stander will come out in the open, light or dark, day or night, shadow or not. You will know because it will have a "full form", or a seemingly solid body. And it will also be standing where there is absolutely no possibility of another source casting a shadow. Sighting like there are VERY rare. I have posted mine in two other threads.

The appearance is just as varying. The most common reported is "the man with the hat". Others seen to have hoods, robes, and long coats. Almost everyone describes them as "men", but they can also seem feminine. They are usually very long or tall, with almost no features or any real shape. Some of them seem be "blobs", while others are shaped just as the name states, like people. There have also been reports of smaller, impish, or animal like types. There have even been reports of red glowing eyes.(I have seen one of them, probably the only time I felt "threatened")

The varying levels transparency are also a good way tell what you are seeing. Shadow people are NOT see through. They can be opaque like a lamp shade or frosted glass. If the entity in question is transparent or seems to invisible, it is not a shadow person. Think of a shadow cast by let us say a tree. You cannot see through the shadow, and since your are seeing the shadow it is not invisible. Shadow people are after all, shadows.

Why are they here? No one really knows. But all they ever do is watch. Observe. They will not hurt you, and normally they will not interact with you either. If one tries to harm you, talk to you, or otherwise disrupt your life, it is not a shadow person.

OK this next part is about the personal beliefs of me, and the people in my group. I am NOT saying this is fact, so please do not take offense or get preachy. This info may actually help someone!

The darker they are the older they are. And naturally the darker ones are more powerful. The free standers are usually very dark, darker than the shadows around them. They do not need real shadows as much or often as lesser shadows. "Sprinters", just like a free stander only it is running away, in most accounts are wearing hats. This may not be a shadow person(I have never seen one of these) but if it is, the hat may play a part in the ability to "detatch" from the shadows.

The reason they hang around certain people is because those people are useful to them. They are not attracted by negative energy or bad vibes. Those types of shadow people are what I referred to earlier as "other entities that can potentially harm you". Especially the ones with red eyes, and most of types with clothing. I have NEVER see a shadow person with ANY clothing on, including hats.

Shadow people will usually hang around people who have strong ties to guess what? Yup the paranormal. And haunted places? No brainer, where do lovers of the paranormal spend most of their time? The reason they love us is because usually someone in the crew will have some type paranormal power, ESP, kinetic or psychic ability. People like these are useful to shadow people. It my belief that these shadow people feel threatened by humans who can "bend the rules". Likewise it seems that people who are accustomed to the paranormal are not so afraid of them.

I have not yet heard any reports here on UM of this next part. People have been "taken away" by shadow people. They always come back within a week, unharmed with no recollection of where they were, what happened, or even that any time has passed at all. Some one will get so fed up with their presence that they will try to "attack" the shadow, or demand to what it wants. When this has happened the person usually followed the shadow somewhere, of their own free will. I have heard about three occurrences. In two of them the people became listless, apathetic, and seem to "give up on life" after they talked with the shadow. The third incident was someone I knew seven years ago. I saw my first shadow person over a year ago

and did not even know they existed until then. And only recently did I realize what happen to the friend in the story I will tell next.

She became so angry at the shadow that she tried to punch it. She wanted answers. She followed it into hr room and did not come out for two days. Since then she would sometimes zone out and speak of prophecy and esoteric knowledge in an unearthly voice that she could not have made. Someone else later told me that if a shadow talks to you, it will impart you with knowledge at a high cost. He told me the people who receive this knowledge can become a tool or a vessel/host for the shadow at any time. I believe the shadow was speaking through my friend. It is a good idea to just ignore them.

I do not think "the man with the hat" is a true shadow person either. One user posted a picture called the "sandman" to give a good reference. He may "the sandman" for all we know. And since he is always seen "looming over us while we sleep" I do not think he is completely harmless. I think he may be stealing energy as week sleep, or feeding our fear.

Here is a link with more detailed information posted by another user. http://www.liparanormalinvestigators.com/lipi_shadows.shtml

and this is a link to a specialist on shadow people http://www.visionaryliving.com/

I hope this thread can clear up some of the confusion. Again, these are only my beliefs and I make no calims to fact. I am always open to suggestions and criticism, but please try to be polite.

You mention that the "man in the hat" figure is not a shadow person. What do you think it is? (My sister has seen it in a OBE type experience)

Nice article btw. I thought it was very interesting. I always think I see shadow moving around my apartment, and it does seem to be in the same place!

Most likely some kine of "boogeyman". He probably feeds on dream energy, or more likely fear and nightmares.

She was scared at the time. During this OBE type experience (or sleep paralysis maybe) she felt that something was pushing on her chest and saw some kind of horrible old woman entity also.

What about the hooded shadow people that are seen? Are these similar to this hat entity? Most experiences I've read deem these hooded beings as evil.

OBE with SP and "the old woman" are also very common. Probably the old man's wife(lol) I have no theories about this though, but probably not. A true shadow person will not hurt you. As the the hooded types, I have seen only one, and this one had red glowing eyes. And someone told me this was a psychic vampire, they feed on negative, or bad energy caused by our emotions. Fear, anger, angst, ect. I felt threatened by this being, and in danger. A normally familiar and friendly place seemed scary and evil to all of us that night.

Hey that's my group's website lol thanks for posting it. We got all of our information from Rosemary Ellen Guilley, we've sat through several of her shadow people lectures so we learned from the best. She's the only leading specialist on shadow people right now.

WOW.. now this I enjoy! Great Post... I have some links with me but first lets talk shadow people. This is one of my passions to find out about these things that have followed me and I seen all my life and I mean all of it I remember my first Shadow person when I was about 3 or 4 years old, it was a small one like about 3 foot tall and would pass by my room door quickly.

The next time I can remember was when we moved to our house when I was 6 I grew up with my grandma so I was always happy but lonely for other kids, when I did make friends and I had someone spend the night they would not come back seems I was not the only one who could see them. I have never gotten used to them.

I do not sleep in total darkness to this day, the lights will keep them back at least, but it seems I have some brave ones they only need dim light and I catch them in the corner of my eye.

As I grew up I had gotten a little used to them and I moved my room to the attic that was finished and very nice. Silly me they go there to.

I have worked nights for most of my life so its always late when i was home and going to bed. The attic has a beautiful large skylight that allows the streetlight or moon light in.

I have laid there and watched them ( the Shadow people) just seeing what they do. So many times because they are always there in the dark blacker than the darkness itself.

So many to turn sideways to get by each other, I still don't like them. I have since been gone a long time from grandmas but on an occasional visit I still see them and worse.

And once in a while it seems a stray will show up here , I promptly get rid of it.

Here is a link that has some accounts of personal experience there are others at the link...

http://www.lighthink.com/ghosts_poltergeists.htm

The question to what are shadow people, you are partly correct. The shadow people are the children begotten to the women that the fallen angels took as wives in Gen. Chapter 6. Because they were part human and part spirit their natural bodies were drowned and not the spirit side. They were bound in chains of darkness as the book of Jude discribes because of their sexual misconduct, and no to answer your question the angels that remain in heaven do not have sex they do not want to loose their place of habitation as like the 200 others that fell. So tell you what the Shadow people are they are pure evil without a body gifted in all the craft, astronomy, enchantments, deception, shape changing etc. I have always had encounters with these things and yet no one has ever really believed me and since I have become an adult I see them less frequently, but I still sense them every now and then when people that are not praying people come around.

Phyllis - My daughter has talked about Shadow People ever since she could talk, what are they?

J B T - In Lighthink, the Teacher is the most Righteous Identity in our universe. Also there are spiritual, luminous, beings called the Sons and Daughters of Light. They are the equivalent of angels, and want to assist us in our spiritual growth.

The most demonic being in our universe is the Liar. His assistants are called the Soldiers of Darkness and could be called dark angels or shadow people. They are here to destroy us.

They mainly corrupt us through written and spoken words. If you see one it is not necessarily bad. It could mean that you are aware of the darkness around you, or just plain psychically sensitive. They often hover around likely candidates, the gullible, the depressed, and those disposed to wicked potentials. My advice, avoid them, Will them away.

Terry - I think that some people see angels and ghosts more than other people because their eyes can see more frequencies or are more sensitive to certain colors.

Great information on shadow people and such guys...

I've had a run in with them myself. We investigated a hotel in Huntington that was built in the early 1900's. My fellow investigator with me at the time went to check out a room with some noises going on. I waited in the hall way for him. I was leaning on the desk by the wall. I heard foot steps coming from down the hall but didn't see anyone. I was expecting someone going to come around from the corner. Then out of no where a huge shadow jumps in front of me. I was in shock, just stunned. No one was around, and my fellow investigator was accounted for.

The top image is EXACTLY what I saw, and on a bridge too no less! Only the only light was the moon in a recently full waning gibious.

No joke, but you may have frightened it as much as it frighted you! I have not heard shadows making "footsteps" before but people say they do.

I really liked the way the information way organized. "KISS" keeps people from getting more confused, and thus more paranoid. I have personally dealt with not only shadow people but shadow creatures of all kinds a lot more than any other type of entity.

Some of the smaller shadow people look impish or not so much like a person. I believe these are actually more like a demon. Also the animal like ones sre obviously not "shadow people", but I do not know if they are related but they are just as elusive and seem more fearful of us. And as I had been saying in several threads, The hooded red eyed types are not shadow people and are potentially harmful and they ARE attracted by negativaty.

I think they went a bit over board with the bullet proof vests and all. But, there were rumors of people still doing crazy things in the woods. So I guess they were making sure they were protected. LOL

Technically, those weren't bullet proof vests. While they could stop a 9mm from penetrating but they were an older version noticeable by the straps on the vest itself. The ballistic portion wasn't even within the vest but a lighter substitute which would be lucky to catch a 9mm. It absorbs which is why the army discontinued the vests in the first place.

I know exactly the ones you speak of I saw them while camping in California with my best friend they look like a round body and long nose like the a bowling pin and there were about 7 or 8 of them that we saw and they were dancing like in a circle it was some scary stuff, we were all scared and just stayed quiet

I don't know if I buy that pic from zombie road. So much of the movie was dramatization of historical events or reported activity. Not really on-the-spot-when-it-happened footage. A good viewing anyway.

A I told Aanica, I saw one just like that back in Febuary. I was not as bold/dark but there were also no lights pointed at it. Just moonlight.
