Ok...this is probably going to make me sound like an idiot but I have this nagging question.

I was recently looking at some other websites about ghosts and spirits and things like that.

It was said, repeatedly, that with shadow ghosts that have a sort of human form that they tend to be seen wearing a hat.

Now...why exactly does a shadow ghost need a hat?

I guess with "regular" ghosts they are usually seen wearing clothes so a hat might not be a big suprise. But why a shadow ghost that is all black or gray and has not definate shape or features?

I know, I know....... crazy question. But it has really been something I have been thinking about. LOL!!

Shadow people are just another form of ghostly manifestation. Seeing them all wearing hats is a common mistake. There have been reports for years about an angel of death appearing to people normally within a short time period before they or someone close to them dies. For one reason or another a lot of people view this entity as a black figure wearing a hat that reminds them of the old kind from the 20s or 30s. Not everyone sees that kind of entity that way but it is a common visual for many to see. Shadow people are not the same they are only another form the spirit takes.

How can you attract one?

Not sure which entity your talking about I will comment on both.

The Death Angel (for lack of a better term)
Not everyone who dies reports seeing them. Everyone I have interviewed who has seen one normally feels as if they are open and are slightly sensitive. There are cases of people who have never considered themselves to be sensitive seeing them but it seems that these entities only show up when they wish to show. One thing I should mention is people suffering Sleep Paralysis may misinterpet the entity in their sp episode as a sign of upcoming death. For more on Sleep Paralysis Click Here

Shadow People
You can not attract them any more then you can attract a normal spirit. They are merely another form that we view them.

I know why everyone who dies doesn't report seeing them. I think it has something to do with them being "DEAD".

Some people do report seeing the entity along with other spirits as they lay dieing. Of course the dead dont report seeing them.

Do you WANT to attract one? And if so, why?

The "thing" I saw over my son was very disturbing. I believe it was death in some fashion because it was there when my son was born prematurely and it was there a few months later. But I certainly dont want to see it again!

I just cant remember if this thing was wearing a hat or not. LOL!

I had an experience with one of these shadow ghosts about 10 years ago. I never knew what is was until I came to this forum. (Learn something new everyday )

I woke up in the night and saw a shadow at the foot of my bed, kind of leaning over my feet. The shadow had the shape of a tall human but there were no features. I remember feeling startled but not frozen and I got out of bed and walked to the front door and opened it to look outside. I remember looking at the clock as I passed it and it was 2:30 a.m. I realized what I was doing when I opened the door. At first I thought I must've been sleep walking but then I realized that I wasn't sleeping because I was aware of everything I did. I felt the entire time I was walking to the front door that this shadow was following me but I was never afraid, startled and confused but it felt peaceful to me. I have never seen anything like it since. Anyone have any comments as to what that could have been?

Could have been a million things. A past loved one, a resident spirit, spirit guide, etc. A problem most people have with these spirits are that they appear black. In most of our minds we consider black is bad and evil therefore we account these entities as being evil. Your story is prime example of encountering one and not believing it to be evil.

Well simple thing is dont be stupid and dont try to attract one they will feed off of you and your emotions.... realy not good... but i personaly belive that there portal to our world is via mirrors what you guys think?

Yes I believe that the entity being black is what confused me. I have taken numerous courses since then in channeling and spiritual guides and after having met up with an old school chum who was hit by a drunk driver and died when he was 16 I believe now this entity may have been him trying to contact me.

Shadow Spirits are bad... they come from another dimensions they feed off your aura, emotions and energy

How do you know this? have you had a bad experience with any of them? Like I said before, I sensed it wasn't evil, I actually sensed that it was good, and my senses speak volumes to me..

True always trust your senses i suppose there could be some good ones..... but most i have read about/seen show them to not be nice lol then again there may well be a difference between shadow people and shadow spirits also

I've never had anything paranormal happen to me and I welcome and kind of paranormal experience.

Don't know much about shadow ghosts/people but...
...I heard something...

Some people saw a shadow figure in there childhood...
...when the became adult the shadow disappears from there lives...
...at the end of their lives the shadow returned and staid to the end...

I think those shadows are more like guardian angels protecting people in there childhood, stay on the background in there middle-age and returning to take them to their next destination.

D. thinks a lot...
...maybe a bit to much!

Guardian angels are different..... definatly i can tell you this..... and i dont think you would welcome "Any kind of paranormal expereience" because some are not all that nice

um um um some shadows lurk some shadows walk with you and some shadows stare you in the face and smack you wait thets just yer gothic twin

Whatever that was that I saw when my son was born and then a few months later was not good. When it showed up a few months later my son abviously saw it and was screaming his head off. And then it made my mom feel like she was dying. I think it was there to take my son.

I know that some people on these forums report seeing shadow ghosts on a monthly basis. If one of the people who claims they see shadow ghost would put up a video camera where they most commonly see them, that would be great. Record every night the whole month and playback what the video camera catches every night.

Hi MaryJo...

Please keep in mind that the eye has I believe either a little under or a little over 1 million parts to it.

Thats one million.

usually all of the parts work in sinc, now and then they don't, which causes the eye to react in strange ways the same way different objects reflect and attract light and shadow and colour, etc.

Most of the "shadow people" that are seen is an optcial illusion and nothing more.

On the other hand, if such entity's do exist, maybe now and then we see them. people say they are shy, illusive or whatever...that, MaryJo is the excuse for them to use when the shadow people vanish as we turn our head.

Please keep in mind that newage people have a ton of excuses to defy logic.

Please study the possibilty of shadow people with an open mind as well as a grain of salt.

Good luck with you search.

Thanks for posting that. I would much rather believe that my experience was my eyes playing tricks on me as opposed to it being something actually lurking at the foot of my bed. I never knew the eye had over a million parts (learned something new today)

I dont believe 99% of what I see or hear about ghosts, spirits, ect. But I do know what I saw. And what I saw was not seen out of the corner of my eye that last night. I looked right at it. The room wasnt completely dark because the door was open and there was a light on in the hallway. The shadow was in front of everything else, not behind anything. There was nothing in front of my son's crib that could cast a shadow. And especially nothing in the shape of a man.

I realize that most things we "think" we see arent really there and is just our minds playing tricks on us. I do think it is strange that most of the time when I have days in a row where I am constantly seeing something out of the corner of my eye....that my mom is having the same experience. We have done this on more than one occassion. And we dont live together.

Hey, I am not a believe everything kind of person. And I would much rather NOT believe in things that scare the crap out of me. But I am also not a "everything can be explained away with logic" kind of person either.

Hi,
Here is my" 2 cents" about Shadow ghosts. What I have been told by a Medium is that Shadow ghosts are not dangerous ; but they do seem to be attracted to people who are under alot of stress or those who are ill.
When we become ill or are very stressed our natural spiritual protection (our Auras) becomes weakened, this seems to interest them for some reason. If you have seen one in your home you might want to consider smudging and clearing it.

I havent seen it since my son was a newborn. A couple months old. He is 6 now. I like your explaination more than the others though I think. LOL! I would like to believe it was there to warn us or something. But I am not sure about that. Either way, it hasnt been back since.

I have never experienced a shadow person myself, but have talked to alot of people in my chatroom through the years about them.

I have a dear friend who post here, I hope she shares her experience with you all.

I truly believe in The String theory, where there are 11 parallel vibrational dimensions and unknown amout of vortexes. Yes, I know it is still a theory, till our technology develops, it all won't be proven.

If there are 11 dimensions, wouldn't alot of our experiences be validated & explained? Some of the strings loop, to me, at the part, where 2 pieces of the string meets in the loop, the energy becomes stronger. If it does become stronger, some of us will be able to tune into this energy.

Years ago there was a tv show called "Are You Afraid of The Dark". Some of you might recall this show.

They had 1 episode, where the kids put on the gag xray glasses. They saw beings beings, that looked alot a like shadow people. One part, the girl saw the tea kettle boiling & whistling away, when she took the glasses off, her stove was neither on & the tea kettle was cold.

I bring this particular show up for a reason. Yes it was just a show to entertain us. If you read on the string theory, it can be a reality. OK, not with our gag x ray glasses.

If you do have an open mind, you can see how all what we call paranormal does exist & how it fits into our spiritual beings.

PBS did a wonderful show on the String Theory. I'll add the links to the transcript and the video of the show. If your computer can handle watching the video, I suggest you watch that first.

I believe Shadow people exist & I believe they are different from spirits/ghosts
