As far as shadow people go, I have seen them on a few occasions while trying to WILD. I do not remember the shadow people ever actually touching me though. They will normally step out of a shadow in my room, or sometimes float down from the cieling. They do however talk, and they normally talk alot. They say things that I have heard before and would recognize easily.

As far as if shadow people really exist, no they dont, it is your mind playing tricks on you. A combination of your blind spot, sleep paralysis, and hypogenics. On some occasions I have believed that I saw a shadow person out of the corner of my eye while awake, but when I look again it was actually just a coat rack, or a shadow of my dad who is further down the hall way, or a number of things.

And I think that by far my scariest shadow person meeting ever was when I was six and slept on a bottom bunk. The edge of a blanket on the top bunk was hanging down, and it had those tied strings hanging off of it so It looked like a head with hair hanging below it watching my from the top bunk. Like ot peeked down to watch me. And my brother was asleep so I couldnt move the blanket. So I just sat there and looked at it for a long long time not moving a muscle (and I didnt kow it then) and I entered sleep paralysis. And it slowly turned into a more realistic head and then started to lean in towards me. And I couldnt move so I just remember sitting there and being forced to watch it walk around and sooner or later I fell asleep, and had a very good dream. (which now I know it may have been an accidental WILD)
