I don't usually "see" things, but this is one time I did. I was trying to fall asleep and my girlfriend at the time was already sleeping. At her side of the bed I saw this hooded being, the hood (or I guess it was a cloak with a hood) was brown in colour. I didn't see it's face or anything, and it didn't really do much it was basically just standing there. I lay there perplexed, but I fell asleep after that. Maybe it was a dream, or maybe I saw something. Anyway, what do you guys think?

P.S. New member, first post!

well i suppose it could of been a ghost of a monk or something but if it was what was it doing in your house?

If it was anything like the hooded fellows where i live, it was probably stealing something.

Ahaha.

ive heard of people seeing hooded dark figures running around their rooms when they are trying to get asleep. theres some kind of name for it....has something to do with sleep paralysis, you see something like a grim reaper strolling towards you but you cant move. if you were able to fall back asleep afterwards i would think that it was something like that, if it happened when you were totally awake you probably wouldnt sleep at all that night. O_o mind does funny things when its shutting down for the night

jawa.

round here we call them sexual preditors.

It was too tall to be a Jawa. Though it could've been one looking to avenge all his brothers I've killed in Battlefront.

Location would be a good thing to know in order to give a better answer. If you are somewhere in the States, the monk answer wouldn't fit very well.

It was in the states, but I'm actually from Canada.

Yeah you're probably right. But it could've been something..

is your gf sick?if she its a good sign

that could be Anglic monk to help

no worrys it was on her side not yours

LOL how sweet. Don't worry, the ghost thing wasn't there for you, it was just there for your girlfriend, so you are off the hook. Damn, chivalry really is dead...

Shadowperson ?

Jedi Knight?

That's possible, but it didn't scare me I was almost kind of comforted.

I wish!

About a year ago I had some kind of hooded thing in my room (I posted it somewhere in here),it was quite tall but I couldn't make out a face it just seemed dark under the hood, anyway having read a lot on this site and others over the last year a shadowperson best fits the bill IMO.

I wasn't scared either but my wife was between me and it so when it moved forward I started kicking out at it, just to warn it away from my wife really, and recall tangible contact. My wife woke up (as the odd kick was coming back down on her) and it disappeared. She is as certain as I was that I was awake when she woke up as she says I was sitting up and spoke to her the second her eyes opened. Previous to this happening I had seen a number of little black (labrador sized) thing scuttling across the room through the corner of my eye, and it was always the same time of night (00:55) and everytime I jumped out of bed and turned the light on to find nothing there.

Wow that's fascinating. You actually felt it eh? I don't live anywhere near there now, so if it's still going there I suppose someone else may be dealing with it. Most people claim a feeling of dread when dealing with shadow people though, so I wonder why we didn't feel that way? The smaller things definitely sound like shadow people and something like that would freak _me_ out. Then again I seem to be a very neurotic person. When I was a kid I thought I saw an alien, and sleeping was difficult for many years after that. Perhaps I should start a thread on that story, and the couple of UFO sightings I had.

Yeh I suppose there was a 'weird feeling' in the room but my first thought was to protect my wife if I had been on my own I would have been more scared I think. Those labrdador sized things seemed to stop coming once I accepted them and stopped being bothered or jumping up and turning the light on.

Actually, since no one else is going to post a serious answer for you, I shall. The hooded entity phenomenon is quite common. Many people have seen these and it is one of the most seen things of all phenomenon. My sister and her kids actually saw one walking along a lonely country road in Kansas in the middle of the night during a snowstorm! The temperature was below freezing and in the middle of nowhere, they came upon a hooded entity walking along the road miles from any town or farm! They could not make out a face, and were quite freaked over the scene.

Many stories of hooded beings are all over the net if you google it, you will see! about.paranormal dot com has lots of stories of them in their true stories files. The most common sightings are next to your bed late at night. Many people think that they are alien in nature, but who is to really say? Just to let you know that you are not alone in seeing hooded entities.

easy, it was dark, you looked thought the hooded guy was an entity, i have done this i got up turned on the light guess what? it was coat hanging, and i did not relise because i was tired or about to go to sleep.

i agree with the sleep paralise i get that a lot! i was having an afternoon nap one time and through the gap into the hall way i saw a hooded figure carrying a small child at first i thought it was my brother in law and nephew coming to say hello. but when they got closer i was in for a suprise, i think normal we arnt suppose to see them, but if we do see them.. they notice us seing them and then well.. kinda attack us. so any way it saw me looking at it then it came running upto me and all of a sudden i couldnt move and was paralized to the lounge i was resting in and it was jumped from my feet and landing near my head laughing shrilly and totally mental laughter of a mad man then someone else in the house who was awake just strolled past and the hooded poltergiest ran through the window and was gone

weirddd its true. im kinda use to these things happening to me so im more open and tell it how it is!

Thanks.

How tall was it?

It was non-threatening?

dark brown cloak and black entity?

I might know what it is, but I want to know more first. ^^;

Its usually frightening when I tell people what it is, even if it doesn't mean harm.

I've known a few people who have had a similar experience. (They all had a dead serious look on their face when they described it. Most of the time it happened when they were kids, and no one seemed to believe them)

It was about normal height. Not too tall or short.

Brown cloak, not sure of the rest of it.

I didn't feel threatened.

my son and his friends have been seeing this dark hooded creature as well..he is 16 and did a bit of research..found this article...

hope it helps.

hm. :/ Not quite what I thought.

Anyway, I'd say click the link in gratefulmom's post. ^^ Its a great essay-ish thing.

grim reper will dog poo on the cloak?

Wow, freaky. This site always freaks me out heh.

see my post on bringing back something from the astral....Are you An astral projector? Ive had encounters with this being, which called himself the necromancer, which is someone skilled in the arts of ressurecting the dead, I believe there are human 'mancers and ones who live in other realms, he may want something of u....

No I'm not an astral projector. I haven't seen him since.

2 nights ago I awoke in the paralys and could swear i saw the hooded entity, i was scared sh*tless and started screaming go away go away except i couldnt actualy project it from my mouth but i could hear my screaming loud and clear in my own head, then he was gone and it seemed like there was a dark cloud fading off into the early morning sky.

It was my first experience of the actualy silent hooded type. iv had other types that seemed less malice.

Did it look like this?

Or this?

The hooded figure is a lot seen lately. You can call it a "shadow being", or "shadow person". I believe they are negative entities who have never been human, so they arent spirits or ghosts. There was a great C2C show about shadow beings with an "expert" on the matter. Do a google search.

Also, it's good to check for any possible reflections that may have been cast in the area of what you saw. Windows, reflecting moonlight into mirrors, and "voila" instant hooded figure. I would also look at anything that may have helped creating the "hooded" reflection; like something on your dresser. Not all sightings are paranormal. It's best to rule out the obvious first. Just my opinion. Jody





edit: speeeeeeeeeeeeeling

It looked more like the first one, but with the brown colour of the second one.

But I didn't feel scared at all. I wonder why that is?

Don't worry, it was just me stalking on you and your girlfriend in the middle of the night. Promise I won't do it again.

...No? Oh well. Never mind. (But I actually even happen to own a hooded brown cloak!)


Seriously speaking though, I remember having once, many years ago, woken up in the middle of the night to find "someone" standing next to my bed. There wasn't that much light, so all I could make out was a tall, dark figure just standing there, towering over me... At first I thought it might be my mother, checking on me, and I think I even asked "Mum?" but there was no answer and I got scared, and did what all kids of about 10 do when they get really scared... hid under my blanket, that is. (It always helps... ) Anyway, in the morning I asked my mother about it and she said she hadn't been in my room during the night. Back then I hadn't ever even heard of "shadow people" or anything of the kind, and I finally concluded that I must have been dreaming really - which I probably was. The mind will play tricks on you when you're half asleep.

But it did scare me back then!

i think i saw one i was 8 and i woke up from a napmare but when i opened my eyes this shadowy thing looked at me

out of fear i looked at the door and screamed for mom 6 times before barely actually making noise
it bolted in the path i looked so i shrugged off as a continueing nightmare

the reason it stuck is i sat up straight screamed mouth wide and almost passed out trying make noise
