I experienced something like this only once. When I was 7 (I think), I saw a fully silhouetted man, in broad daylight, staring right at me for a few seconds, before taking off down a hill impossibly fast. Never encountered anything like it since. |

Has anyone ever seen what they call a shadow person? I have, twice. First I saw a shadow man, in full view, which looked like he was wearing a hat, outside my house in the early hours of the morning when no one was about. The second time was when I was in hospital, only this time it was a fleeting glance out the corner of my eye. From what I did see, the figure appeared kind of androgynous with shoulder length hair that curled up at the end. Some people say their figments of our imagination, the result of sleep deprivation or sleep paralysis. Others say they could be demons, aliens, angels, ghosts or the spiritual bodies of astral travelers. I‘m not really sure what to think. I know everyone says this but I did not imagine what I saw. None of the above symptoms really apply to me but I can’t believe that it was some supernatural being either. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and what their thoughts were? |

Once, yes. I woke up, it felt like there was someone sitting on my bed. They got up and walked out of my room, towards my parents' room. I couldn't see much, since it was dark, so it really was just a shadow. I thought it was one of my parents, but the next day, they said they hadn't come to my room, so... |

Hurricane At The Sea (1850) and Shipwreck (1854) by Ivan Aivazovsky
The dreamer formerly known as Angelpotter
Saw dark black energy ball in my OBE, it was pulsating and sounded like electricity, touched it and it was vibrating and then i woke up and it was still there, i touched it again and i felt vibrations again and got really scared. I think 2nd time it was FA, or maybe not, because i do not remember how i really woke up. Screamed as loud as i could because i knew my friends were right next room. |

I'm gonna say something controversial, unproven and what might be judged as pseudo science: It's in human dna to translate certain energies into "shadow people", from a certain point of view they are simply a part of yourself that you see reflected in altered states. They have no agenda unless you give them one, but at the same time, it's in our dna to give them an agenda. |

Yeah I feel you man, when I was 6 or 7 I would see a shadow person known to many as "The Hat Man". I saw him whenever Id awake at night. It was wierd like I had no intention of waking up, Id just know. Many times Id wake up Id look to my doorway and see this shadow person. He/it would stand there and watch me for however long he/it wanted to. Then when it was done watching me it would slowly walk away back to my hallway. Ive also experienced theings like hearing footsteps in my room(my room has a carpet ground) so it was always easy to hear them. At times I would also hear my name as plain as day. I never imagined these things and I was never tired when they happened. I havent seen anything else since then and now im 16. Im just waiting for a shadow person to come so I can see if it bleeds, Im gonna try to fight it next time I see one. |

When I used to live in a trailer in 2011-2012 where I experienced strange things. It started out as a very loud band on the outside of my trailer. I assumed it was a nut maybe falling out of a tree, so the next morning I checked outside and I had no trees close enough to drop something on my trailer, not to mention none of the trees anywhere near had any nuts in them. It kept happening every night so I started keeping track of the time and it turned out that it would happen around the same time each night. It was loud enough to make me and my cat jump from alarm. The only other explanation for it would be if someone threw a rock at my trailer, but who would come around the same time every night to throw a single rock at the same exact spot each night for 9 months. |

I *think* I saw a shadow-person once, about 10 years ago or so. I say I think because I'm unsure as to whether to classify the entity I saw as a Shadow Person or simply a ghost. But I had awoken in my bedroom (and yes, I really was awake, even though any skeptic would at this point say I was still half-asleep), when I saw a figure sitting in the chair at my desk. (I, like Dark, used to live in a trailer, and at that time my desk was near the foot of my bed). So, I get up and see this shadowy figure just looking at me. That's it. Now, it was dark (not pitch black, but dark), and the figure was like a silhouette. For a few moments I stared at it, and it stared at me; then I jumped out of bed, ran to the light-switch, flipped it on. When I turned around, the figure was gone. |

When I was little I saw what could be described as a shadow person. I was sleeping over at a relative's house and when I woke up I saw a very large shadow approach me. It got closer and stood by my feet and bent down over me. I started screaming and kicking. Mom turned on the light, and of course she said I was dreaming. But I know wasn't because I was fully awake. |

Before that time I saw the hat man I had never seen or heard or read anything about walking shadows (especially none in hats) except when I read peter pan years ago, but trust me this was a lot different. I only started reading about the shadow person phenominom after the two times I'd seen them. I'm also quite positive I've never hallucinated anything in my life. I'm also not entirely certain that I am the only person in my neighborhood who has seen them. Okay when I say person I actually mean cat. I was out for a walk one night just trying to clear my head. I was walking down this long and narrow path that led to a park, though I had no intention of going into the park. Even though no one was there I didn't want to risk running into trouble. On one side of the path was an empty secondary school and on the other was a row of fences surrounded by small trees. There were also a couple of streetlights casting an orange glow. I never ventured further than the streetlight nearest the road. As I stood there, a fluffy looking tabby cat passed by. I knelt down and managed to get his/her attention. I obviously didn't check but my gut said the cat was a girl. Even though she belonged to someone I named her snuggles as she kept snuggling against my leg and rubbing her face on my knee. She was just innocently rolling around on her back, having the time of her life when something changed, something I wasn't aware of. She instantly sprang onto her feet, crouched down and hissed at the trees covering the fence. I couldn't see or hear anything but she apparantly could. After that she stopped hissing but she didn't move from her crouched position, neither did she look away. The trees were too close to the fence for any human or animal to slip through. Till this day I still don't know what she was hissing at but suddenly an awful premonition spread through me and I moved further into the light. I know it sounds silly but I didn't leave immediately because I liked being around snuggles but soon however it got too much and I left. I don't know if this really counts as a shadow person sighting, it's just that I found it quite unusual. |

Well that is the most unique theory I've ever heard regarding shadow people. I'm used to people assuming, like me, that they are some kind of ghosts, not reflections of oneself, the dark side that everyone has to them. Intriguing thought, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. Just out of curiosity, where did you come up with that idea? |

This sounds exactly like the infamous hatman that everyone sees when they take high doses of benadryl (diphenhydramine). When the deliriant drug scene started becoming more popular, people often reported of shadow people. Then, one time a guy took a very large dose that, for the most part was the most anyone had recorded taking before that was not some person in the drug's personal history (like discovering its use) and came back with a very vivid trip report, where he famously coined "hatman" and now many users of deliriant drugs claim to see hatman as well, in each case he is a shadow person what is wearing what appears to be a fedora. |

Well I’ve never taken diphenhydramine before so I’m still not sure the reason for my shadow person sightings were, but you’re right in that it’s interesting how a whole group of people who have never met could, for whatever reason see the hat man. The shadowy figure I saw in the hospital was not a hat man though. |

I get SP a lot but I've only experienced shadow people once when I was trying to get out of body. They started coming out the ceiling and walls and one shadow woman came and sat on my stomach where I was trying to get out. I just about managed to keep a calm state of mind and ignore her but I couldn't get out and then I woke up. |

Hi, |

I have read nearly all there is about him, watched documentaries and even my story is a little weird....but I think he is here for a long time and he is not one person....but probably an entire army. |

i know this is an old thread but i had encounter when i was a teenager i was not spiritual religious superstitious had no knowledge of this stuff when it happened. I was sleeping and i watched this shadow walk down the stairs all the way to my beside and stood there staring down at me I thought it was my sister and said wtf you doing? I realized it wasn't her and this instant feeling of dread overwhelmed me instantly felt drained passed out and fell asleep. That night i had dreams of sliding across the walls and floors very weird. |

In my first induced OBE I was black ball cracking with dark blue energy But that is about 30 years ago. Sometimes I see something like black people in my OBEs, they don't like my aura |

I can see and feel shadow people in the awakened state of consciousnesses as they enter into my soul body. I see anywhere from 3 to 10 per week that come form every where in the veil. I am always looking for the shadows, they are the reason I spend my time online, I do this to find them and to help them become themselves again. I have had more then my share of experiences with them in obe and astral projections during the course of my life spanning over thirty years. If you ever run into them again, just tell them to find powessy he can help you. |

That was an amazing read. Thank you! |

You mean like african americans? I'm sure they go out of body too! Perhaps you have a white hooded aura. |
