Shadow People: What are they?

[Enchanted_DreamFaerie]

What exactly are Shadow People? Are they spirits? Are they evil? What do they want normally? Many people told me something different, so I figured I'd ask the question here to get your thoughts on it.

[desert rat]

Some guess are , left over energy , human created thought forms , the spirit of a once living human (ghost) , the astral body of a living person , mut. dem. being.

[AbilityMom]

As you can see my name I do have abilities.
I can feel spirit's sometimes I hear and see them.
Been dealing with the supernatural since I was 12.
I have delt with shadow men total of 4 times.

They are not or was not human nor are they demons. They come from another dimension.
There sole purpose is to kill, they pick on children and the elderly at times younger to middle age people.
Smudging blessing salting does nothing to these beings.
Man mediums/demonologist can't remove them.
Best bet is to move if possible and PRAY they don't follow or call soon the LORD and his angels.

I went into battle with one, fighting for my soul.
Until I spoke the LORD'S real name then the energy changed the room got brighter and smell of roses.

[BlackfoxNZ]

Would you define a being which is of a human shape but appears as solid black as a shadow person, or would it need to be of a light black and non solid as shadows still contain a curtain amount of light?

[AbilityMom]

Blackfox,
There are shadows regular shadows like ghost are not dark like a shadow man.

Shadow men are darker then dark nothing no light can penetrate there darkness. And you can sense the evil coming from them.
They are to be interdenominational all the people I have spoke to from demonologist/mediums/ shamans, all say something pure evil.
They pray more so on children and the elderly because they look at them as weak. The one I delt with, I made the mistake of challenging it.
I was messing with my daughter. And I was not gonna stand for it. But yeah they are bad news.

I’ve had a dream once where I was sitting having a discussion with some beings 2 were sitting across from me and beside me was a full black being which said or did nothing but sit beside me perfectly still through the discussion, it was a human figure but a solid black with no reflection or carted colour, just the blackest black I can every remember seeing, but nothing ever seemed to come of that black figure even though the discussion topic did become reality. So still to this day I have no idea what the black being was,
For context I used to get a few beings entering my dreams and giving me information which I could use in the following days and quite often I can piece together my dreams and be able to know what is going to happen in regards to a event within the following 48hours,

[AbilityMom]

Most "dreams" are not dreams but it is really happening. When we are asleep we are more "open" to anything paranormal ghost/spirits/ non human or interdimensional. Why at times you wake up with bruising/scratches or actual wounds.
Most time's shadow men are like a cheetah they follow they watch and then at their most weakest stage is when they pounce for say.
Shadow men on one of those creatures that we don't know nothing about except for what people have experienced just be careful.

[desert rat]

A number of people have scene the shadow beings . I dont remember any one talking about them being evil or killing any one . On dreams , one idea is that we all go out of body during deep sleep , but most people dont remember or remember as a dream . So some dreams are from real events .

[AbilityMom]

Hiya fellow Arizonan!
There have been cases I heard that they try to or have.
I knew a person who R.I.P her brother was talking about seeing them, talking to him trying to drive him nuts. He took a picture of a very dark shadow man man was over 6 ft tall. Telling him your gonna die. His sister my friend stayed with him and she heard him yelling by the time she got there he was passed. Autopsy showed strangled yet no marks on him.
Something to ponder if ppl are dealing with them they have bad ending who are they gonna tell?

[Native spirit]

Shadow people can present themselves with or without a face.they are human shaped mostly clocked in dark clothes.
a lot of people see them but think ,something just passed by my door etc they dont always show themselves fully.
that is why people think they are seeing things.



Namaste

[AbilityMom]

Agree! Native spirit.
Best thing ppl can do not interact with them.
I simply say your not welcome you have no permission to be here.

[BlackfoxNZ]

What would cause shadow people to guard a person? And have they ever been known to do so? By guard I don’t mean watch over and wait for the right moment to kill them physically or spiritually, instead I mean guard as protect from any other beings that are seeking to harm or interfere with a persons day to day life.
And would shadow people as a group organise curtain beings to incarnate as human in order to gather better information or to act as a anchor point between realms/staging area for operations in or around the physical realms? That way they have one of their own who would already be skilled at their work and be able to work with them much better than manipulating selected humans to act as anchor points/information gathering on physical matters

[desert rat]

On shadow people being evil let me give what I mean by human created thought forms . The basic idea is that we all create thought forms good and bad . Lets say some one believes in demons . Really fears them , and out of there deepest fears creates evil demons that haunt them . Now thought forms are only energy , no consciouness , and there methods of getting rid of them .

Shadow people. I've noticed that some who do not see spirits well may sometimes call a normal spirit/ghost a shadow person eg the person may not have their clairvoyant ability to see in colour well.

Shadow people though as AbilityMom said are actually beings from another realm. They are not from earth or earth's astral though may hang out here. They are dark beings which do not bring good to us. They are sly and they often do not like to be seen so a person may just see one for a brief moment before it ducks back around a corner etc. They may try to hide in the darker areas of a room while observing you.

if you have these beings around you, you should get rid of them as they are harmful to your health (I dont know about killing people but they certainly are not good for you and they don't come wishing a person well).

AbilityMom they can be killed as you will see when I share my story below.

I was having trouble with my energy.. it was feeling very yucky and it was all squirmy right through it (like if two things were put into a bowl which were almost violently repelling each other, my energy was really reacting to whatever was in it).

So I asked a psychic friend to take a look at me and tell me what was going on. When she did this.. she could see I had a shadow being inside of me so then asked me if I wanted her to get remove it. Of cause I said yes.

A minute later my energy went so still, it all stopped innerly recoiling (It was like I'd been feeling like I had 1000s of worms in me trying to get out before that, so discusting), and the energy changed to what I could only call neutral feeling energy (it had no like energy signature to it) started to then fall out of me, like falling out of me in like handfuls of bits of energy.

It was like blobs of energy clouds was falling out of me at which point my friend announced that she'd just killed it. (I really hadn't been expecting that and had not known someone could do that, I'm against murdering any being, when she asked me if she could remove it, I thought she meant just take it out). All the energy coming of me was that dead being, neutral feeling I guess as it was dead.

My friend being a trained guardian had the ability to like instantly leave body and go where ever she wanted (it had been something one of our teachers taught) so just going into me to where she could see that being was had been easy for her to do. (I so wish that was something I'd mastered, I never got the hang of that though my teacher did help me once to go inside someone's body).

She told me that she'd found him sitting inside a forest (this was all in me), so she'd just snuck up behind him where he was sitting asleep with his back against a tree and killed him with her sword. (I know this sounds so crazy but she really did "kill" and get rid of whatever I had in me so I have to believe this really was what she saw and did). So anyway, the shadow beings can actually be killed.

After that experience I asked her to tell me more about them and she told me she'd once followed one back to their own dimension.. it turned out that when she had followed a shadow back to his realm, she found that he lived in a castle with his family, back home he had his children and his female. The males tend to travel here, leaving their families at home.

Anyway the shadow beings have the ability to make people unwell and affect your health so do try to get rid of them if you have them about (things like smudging, prayers etc.. in my case did not get rid of that shadow being but maybe prayers would work for someone else, I can get rid of some other entities easily but that shadow, I could not without help)

I have not heard of a shadow person guarding or helping anyone. If I was still in contact with my old friend I could of asked her and she may of said differently due to knowing a lot more than me.

As far as I'm aware that the shadows do not incarnate into human. I've never heard of one doing so so I'm doubting that happens. ohhhh I'll take that back, I just remembered. I once met a guy who supposively did have some abilities (past life recall, ability to do things with energy) who did say he was a shadow being himself who had incarnated to human.. that was a long long time ago but he's the only person I've ever met who has told me that his soul was one of those.

That guy told me that due to his shadow soul that he was an energy vampire who needed to feed on human energy.. he'd psi feed to stay alive in a human body. He said the shadow part of himself made him different than normal humans due to that and that he'd physically die if he couldnt psi vamp feed so he'd randomly draw energy from people. I knew that guy for a couple of years and never did feel him feed on me but that doesn't mean that he didn't if what he told me was true (I didn't feel that shadow in me "feeding" on me either, I just felt something wrong there).

I just had the weirdest thought.. I lost contact with the person who supposively had the shadow soul around the same time as my friend killed the shadow in me. Wouldn't be crazy if that was that guy in me and it killed him. (I'll think I'll put that thought away on a high shelf as it's just too weird, but I don't know why I lost contact with the other and wish now I knew).

[DreamyMaryAlice]

To me, they are spirits that won't leave, either their family, or sum thing they loved lots while they were a live yet, like their land, they still walking on it yet, or sum body cries for them every day so they get stuck here, this is what is said by the native spirit talkers here, our people still do burnings for them

[Ariaecheflame]

When I was on a roadtrip with a friend we both saw two separate figures which I can only describe as shadow people. They seemed to emerge from a point in the forest at a bend in the road heading towards a National Park.

We were sober but we were tired cause we'd been off on some adventure the night before.


They moved very quickly and they seemed to he pursuing the car. I remained quiet in the passenger seat when I first saw the first figure.

By The second sighting, I turned to my friend and I asked him if he saw 'that', he replied with a yes and then I asked him what he saw and he told me exactly what I had seen.

They were not friendly in energy, I felt sick in my stomach and I subconsciously called in protection.
I never want anything to do with such an energy again and if I did I'd call in protection straight away.

I get the feeling that this part spot was a sort of hub for the things. Perhaps, given our fatigue our energy was also not as guarded as it could have been or usually is.

[GlitterRose]

My opinion is that they are probably thoughtforms, but I don't think it really matters that much what they are. The important thing to know is that they yield pretty easily to various types of banishment. People just need to find what works for them, and by works I mean that it empowers them to believe they are in control. Usually that will be something from their own belief system, but if they don't know of anything, I recommend the LBRP (Lesser Banishment Ritual of the Pentagram). It's free, not complicated, can be found on youtube, and people can do it themselves.

[asearcher]

My friend pointed out that there was a shadow person of male energy in my home before, but she has also seen others in my home and kids have seen something they call Misty, so my friend sees it both as shadow people and ghosts, like how the spirits had looked like in life, but I think it is when the shadow people want her to see how they use to look like?

I think, many may not agree that, we have to be careful to meditate too much because what has been explained is that they, spirits and what have you, see you as a glow and will then find you and if it is the kind who needs to feed of energy then it is a perfect form to do so as meditation for me at least can fill much naked (not naked naked), pure is a better word perhaps, emotions, with no buzz around. Perhaps one can meditate 24/7, but have a form of shield or protection in some way and then it is just fine to do so? I don't know. For me I limit my meditations, just to be sure, for my own sake.

If one is effected by negative thoughts etc and am sick, loosing energy over something perhaps it attracts certain shadow people to feed from that and make a spiral of it becoming worse?

From experience I am not so sure that other entities from the spirit realm can't watch your past life memories during meditation as you are having them...spooky thought...can kind of give what it now is an upper hand knowing something about you you don't want it to know? Wonder if the shadow people can do that?

I don't think I will ever get over the shock when finding marks on my body on same places where things has happen in dreams, or past life memories, afterwards, did a shadow person step into the dream or memories and do that? But how? I don't know. It sounds crazy, made up. Not logical. Still I can only say something did happen, and not just to me, others too I've learned.

I notice nowadays if having a nightmare of special kind it is as if something is waking me out of it before it gets too dark by either sound or a touch or tickling, but I have ask to be protected even in sleep, and so far so good. If nobody believes this I am totally fine with it. No new marks yet :)

I have been told by others that I am sensitive and feel things stronger than what they presume they do.So maybe then drawn to stronger emotions? Bigger plate of food on it? Thereby a stronger glow, and so they come? Are the shadow people more seen or more drawn to people that are seen as sensitive?

Found out an ex of mine who was by nature more sensitive, having stronger emotions within him 24/7 would late part of his life complain to friends that something dark was after him and would not let him sleep, like a dark shadow, but then manifesting into something else and he thought it was after hurting him or something. This was at the Late part of life when he suffered from depression or was bipolar or both, so strong emotions - negative emotions. He never needed much sleep so if he was complaining about it then it was serious.

I suspect he got visions too, as he said later in life that he saw things, visions, of him and I and we had a family, kids, and it was so real and then he said he had lost this great love and that that kind of love only comes once in a life time, if even that.

I can't imagine a good spirit, angel showing him that vision, if it just did not come from himself, and what frightening to me is if shadow people did that to him.

I had been pregnant by him but kept it a secret, had planned to tell him, but then lost it close to the 3 month so something was wrong with it. I didn't tell him of it. Only my mom knew and she did not tell him. I had feared he would reject the baby as he had done me, us before and blame me for it all. I thought if we got passed 3 months then the baby would be strong and more protected and I would have gotten more strong too, emotionally, and then to tell him. I did not think of forcing parenthood on him, he was free to do as he had pleased. Now looking back I can't believe I kept this from him. I think it was so wrong. My head was clearly not screwed on right. I am especially much ashamed as I was later fortunate in life to watch a daddy-to-be of my baby be happy and involved with the pregnancy from day one and my love naturally grew for him and I knew he was going to be a very good dad and I felt very fortunate to be able to give my, our, baby that.

The ex's friend said he would do magic tricks, play with magic, don't know what kind as I am no expert of it and it was about making me go back to him. That put me in an unease mood when finding that out, after his death. So I don't know if his magic tricks or what he now was up to could have created that dark shadow or done something else? It was not only about him wanting me to return but all kinds of things really that he thought would make his life more successful. He already then was successful, had great job, good money, so I'm not sure what he more desired, I think overall the things the friend said to me sounded superficial. Before when we were a couple and engaged, he cared somewhat what he would wear but really not that much, he would go and change if he saw i had a dress on if we were to go out so that he thought he would "match" me, but if the choice was his he wanted only jeans and a simple shirt on and he was ready to go and he looked good in that. Only one time, after we parted, I saw him somewhere and from a distance and he was more strong built and had expensive clothes on him, expensive watch and I could not help but give away a look of looking down at him before glancing off but he saw that and next time I glanced back he looked insecure and looking down. We are talking seconds here. I later felt guilt about having most likely looked like that. Everyone say I can't hide my feelings so what ever i feel or think is visible, too much so. The things the friend talked about him wanting was even more superficial things than what he already had; more money, more success...

The ex would believe we were still connected in spirit, he would talk as if we had the same soul although I don't think that is possible, but we were still connected in some way, proof of that is that I felt death anxiety when he died without knowing he was going to die.

His last girlfriend did not feel anything (although I understand this is normal, it is not normal to get death anxiety like I did) and was already seeing someone else whom she found comfort in when hearing of his death, but then said he was only a friend of hers. They later began to date. She made it quite clear to me early on that she wasn't grieving that much and had moved on.

This was the same woman my ex had ask to marry and she had turn him down. i had said yes before. I remember he surprised me and said he would replace the ring later when he had more money but I could not have cared less and I began to give his face little kisses all over and he start to laugh. Even though I was young I was not afraid and wanting nothing more than to be married to him, but sadly my response was not enough as he threw it in my face later on. It would have been better if I had been more cool like his last girlfriend was and just say no, would have saved me a lot of tears. I remember i was so silly happy, would show the ring to everyone. I had told him I never wanted it replaced, it was perfect just as it was.

Years before he had broken our engagement because I had said no to marrying him his way during what I thought of as an innocent conversation (he wanted it all alone, no one there, not his family), like he wanted to punish me, hurt me real bad for not wanting our wedding like that but I thought we were just having a normal conversation and did not know he would get like that with me, and would want to hurt me so much. He just plainly said "we won't get married.". Our future was then burned. The vision of us having a family - burned. Everything gone.

Interesting enough friend of mine would have vision of seeing us married and with children, young, and too she saw vision of her future husband whom she had not met yet, and she knew details too of this stranger that prove to be right. Her vision came through. They are still together. Ours didn't.

So I guess I wonder - could shadow people be both, both shadow people and ghosts? Could they see your dreams? Give you visions? Can they actually hurt you or do worse, like the ex thought? Is it just that we, or not all of us at least, can't see them for what they really are once entering our world, reality?

[asearcher]

Here is an article someone might like to read about shadow people, anyone seen the red light, I sure have not? Seem to be different kinds.

The one my friend was talking about was at a the time when there was generally a rather dark feeling in our home.

she said it would hoover around me, especially me, and she could not stand being in the home because she felt it being hostile against her and that it was negative. I on the other hand did not notice it. It would most times move very fast and I would see - maybe - in the corner of my eyes but not believe it as the eyes can play trick with you from that perspective.

I remember though that I was like sick for most part and I am luckily rarely sick other times.

I do remember feeling as if something, a figure was standing by the side of my bed when I was asleep but by then everything was dark and I can't say I saw it and I thought it was just imagination.

@asearcher,

I just wanted to speak to your bit about meditation.

I have utilized the LBRP combined with the Middle Pillar meditation to oust phenomena, including shadow people.

I think with regard to meditation, it's about changing your mental state, and that you could put yourself into any state that you choose with it. So if you are utilizing meditation to get yourself out of a rut of negativity, it would be helpful.

[GlitterRose]

On another note, though, I have to say that things like EVP tend to kick up phenomena. It's an avenue for the psyche to mess with you, especially if you're going through a rough patch.

Thank you very much, GlitterRose :), I did not know this.

Hello

This is how I came to understand Shadow People. What are they ? The way I see things if there was anything truly bad would any of us be here ?


What are Shadow People? Are they real?

Or a trick of the eye’s and mind?

Have you ever asked oneself if you really did see something or someone out of the corner of one’s eye? This event seems to be happening more and more often or are we just accepting more in talking about such things?

Your sitting watching TV say and you see a shadowy figure of human form moves across the room. It passes by quickly so you are going ok did I or did I not SEE something?

What was it? Something that naturally made the shadow?

Over drive with one's imagination or being over tired?

Or does your mind go to something paranormal?

When one's mind come into tune more with acceptance this be real one can focus on them more it seems. Now who or what are these Shadow People?

Imagination? Skeptics would simply say it be a trick of the mind in play. As it’s out of the corner of one’s eye most often, then it’s not in clear focus out of the range of clear sight. The human eye and mind can be easily fooled Yes or No?

Open for debate some that might well be.

I have experienced "Shadow People".
When I called ArchAngel Michael to help me understand the energy of what I was seeing, he said they are the "Wanderers". They serahc for light energies so they can learn from the level / realm / dimension they are in.
That is about all the research I did on it, besides just trusting that they arent here to hurt anyone.
Hope this helps.

I saw them as invaders and I would call them archons. They were not without designs and appetites, and we did not do well when they were around. I believe they were present due to my own dark night of the soul when I experienced intense grief, loss, and survivor guilt. There may be something to the idea of a parasitic nature, and they were accompanied by other phenomena such as disembodied voices and poltergeist type activity.

I actually utilized a banishment rite that invokes the Archangels, including Michael to oust all the phenomena. We have been free of it for several years now.

[Mirage]

For me, each spirit-s have their own residual energies.

The shades I have known, were totally un-threatening.

Low frequency levels.

Self-manifestation makes for a disharmonic balance.
