Full Version: What are black shapes?

Now, I don't have a camera or anything, because my dad sold it because we need money, but anyway. Sometimes I'll see weird black shapes in my room late at night, usually around 10 or 11 PM. Sometimes. I won't see them out of the corner of my eye, but if I look, I'll see them for a second or so. First one I saw was a black shape like a cat. We have 2 cats, but I never let them in my room and they don't sleep with me.

Second one was a big one, not sure what it was. It like...a tall crouching...something. I feel like saying it had claws and a tail but, I don't think so. Couldn't see any details. I've seen a few more, but not often. I usually dismiss them as me being crazy, or my eyes playing tricks on me. But I wear glasses so...could still be me, not sure. Anyway. First time we moved in though, a few months after I saw a pair of bright red eyes for a second, then gone. Right above my door.

And recently I saw a bright white orb for a second as well. Probably my eyes as well, gonna try and get them checked. I'm only near sighted and always wear my glasses, which is when I see these things.

I'll also feel uncomfortable like someone or something is behind me. I'll check but find nothing. So...are these ghosts or demons, or just me? They haven't done any harm or anything yet if they are ghosts or demons. I honestly don't do any research on buildings or anything since I worry about what people think of me, mostly family, like mom, dad, sister. Other sister we talk about ghosts and stuff a lot since she sees quite a lot of them, haven't talked about these things I've seen.

Well, regardless of what you let or do not let in your room, cats are slippery animals. It could have snuck in without your knowledge.

The feeling you speak of could be due to high emf in your house and the fact that of what you saw, or think you saw will instill fear in you.
VincentHunter
Ah, okay. So chances are it's just me then. Well, okay. Me and...someone, probably my dad are going to check out the local park near here to check on a ghost thing tonight, around 10PM to 1 AM, probably 11 so I'll post about that here then instead of making a new topic?

im not saying it is just you, im just suggesting what i think it could be

Its really hard to say what you are seeing exactly, but I do believe you. I dont know what country or state you are in, however what you can do is buy a cheap disposable camera, take some photos, have them developed onto CD and then you might see something. They dont sound like Demons, but possibly some kind of spirit, maybe what they call shadow people, not sure yet. Good luck ghost hunting. JN

Yea I agree with Enjay, but no one can be sure of anything because we are not in that house with you. You need to do some history on the house and the area and let us know so then maybe we can see if it may or may not be a haunting of any type. Unless if it actually starts to hurt you soon...then you have to worry and maybe get someone to come and check things out. Now I'm fairly new with everything and I in no way shape or form have the knowledge that others here have. But from what I do know with what Enjay said with the high emf, I hear this term called a "fear box" so if things get worse you may want to have someone come in with equipment and check that out. I feel that this is most likely the cause. If things get worse I could be wrong.

High EMF also causes hallucinations, headaches, sometimes for someone to become ill....so it could very well be just this...with the orbs and seeing things especially in the dark
MasterPo
Agree with all above.

However, if it is paranormal sounds like a shadow being rather than a demon.

I see orbs in the day time and at night, and have for years. With all the investigations here, there is not a high EMF reading. The one placed they found some was in front yard where there are underground cables. Some people do have the ability to see these, and some dont. I am not discounting that, just that we dont know yet. Who knows? JN

See JN, the difference between you and I, you assume, I try to suggest....I suggest what it could be, i know people can see things, but before we give this person ideas of paranormal activity, feed him LOGIC

I don't see anything wrong with it honestly. Knowledge is power and it should be up to the individual to decide what he or she wants to believe. To truly have the correct vision you need to have the knowledge of everything. Look at it as a pie, the gist of the pie you can look at as the logic, but a pie also has a crust. Some people choose to eat the crust, some do not, but you know that the crust is there. I think that is the best mindset.

It could be a brain tumor..hehe


Just kidding.

Try to borrow someones camera if you can so we can get a look at these shapes. You can buy a disposable one for a couple dollars. I don't have much experience with dark shapes and I would love to see some.

hi vince

It could just about be anything. shadows fom outside . normal shadows in the room . you say you were in the dark so not a good view of it . did the shadow move or stay staionary for the whole tme you saw them . but in all honesty it coulld be any number of things i agree that before we jump to paranormal conclusions .you would need to get some pics so we could see exactly what you mean . original.gif

Its not the mindset, its the approach.

When suggesting its the believers choice to believe or not, the post wasn't about them believing what they saw, it was them asking what exactly it was IF it was anything.

Also, what would be the point of having someone believing what they want? Im sure if someone came on here believing they had a sit down with Lincoln the other day at lunch people would suggest, um...that might be in your head.

This site is for many purposes, but when a person asks questions, the best possible solution is start off with logic, after logic is ruled out, then we can talk about believing.

I do not believe in filling peoples heads with nonsense if I can fill it with true knowledge.

"I see black shapes in my room, one was the shape of a cat, we have two cats but im strict on not allowing them in my room"

Reasonable thinking suggests, well, you cant keep track of your cats 24/7 and they are sneaky characters, one might have snuck in without your knowledge.

"And recently I saw a bright white orb for a second as well. Probably my eyes as well, gonna try and get them checked. I'm only near sighted and always wear my glasses, which is when I see these things."

Reasonable thinking suggests, that white blood cells in the eyes can cause such manifestations. I forget what its called, but I seen a thread on it not too long ago.

High EMF reads can cause hallucinations, headaches, the feelings of being watched, there is no need to go on there.

Comparing her case to his case is like comparing an 18 wheeler to a lil mini hotwheels car.

I gave him reasonable answers, telling him "I believe you" without knowing the person is not the right thing to do in my opinion.

For all we know, the person can be making this up just to test peoples responses...then how would the people feel that said "I believe you"

All I am saying is that people are too trusting..Start using our heads and think before we fill these peoples heads with something that is perfectly explanable

Sorry Darlin I dont assume anything, I give possibilites, suggestions etc which is what this site is for. If I came on here brand new and told that story, and one person mentioned high EMF readings, or limestone I wouldnt know what they were talking about. There are other possibilities and you may use all the logic you want, and yes I am totally different than you. I suggest he take pics etc, and it "might" be a shadow person. If everyone had the same answer, this board would not exist. Now get over yourself ok? LOL...JN

Exactly, and everyone has experiences and opinions. I told him to try to take pics, and what it "might" be, or its nothing at all. I didnt say "OMG YOU HAVE A GHOST." That is an assumption..Good post Am..JN

i wont rule out shadow ghosts yet, who knows, the orb you saw sounds interesting, but it could also be fatigue.

I have seen these before many times. Mostly in the shape of small dark shados like cats or smaller.. Hard to catch on camera as yo just manage to see them out of the corner of your eye..
VincentHunter
Okay, sorry for not replying in a while everyone. Been doing some stuff. But yeah, these shadows have moved a number of times, but I'll usually see it like, maybe a sec or less and it moves in a blur and gone. Haven't really seen anything so far again. Maybe once or twice this week but it's been pretty normal.

Did get a few scares when I saw a few but all good. I'm not really too sure about my ability to see ghosts or hear them. Though I have heard what sounds like people talking even if no one was, screams, whispers. Once I was struck with sleep paralysis, heard laughing, giggling. It goes away, I look behind me(I was sleeping on my side facing the wall) saw a short, almost childlike person in a white dress. Couldn't see the face since it was all, blurred and distorted like the head was moving really, really fast. shoulder length blond hair in a ponytail. Then gone. That is all I can remember of any sort of...well anything involving ghosts I guess.

Though I do end up getting shaken awake too when I'm about to fall asleep. Doesn't bother me a whole lot though.

Might a digital camera work too though? Think my dad has one.

At the end of the day. there's just no telling what they might be.
