Wow, this thread is from 2003. Any way, my son who just started a new job with his wife in another city were lodging in the companies corporate housing facility. They only been on the job for a week now.

One night his 5 year old daughter woke up and began screaming. Every one than woke up and the kid was crying and screaming about a shadow standing over her dad next to the bed. She wasn't dreaming because she woke up and looked over to her dad and seen the thing.

The kid said the shadow was standing there looking down at her dad and it was touching his lips. The kid made a real fuss about staying there and wanted to leave. When they went to grandmas house and were getting ready to go back to the corporate housing, the kid screamed and cried not to go back there. He said they had a heck of time to get her to go back.

Than my son tells me when he was a kid of 10, he also seen a dark shadow in the room he and some other family members were sleeping in. The three were sleeping on blow up mattresses on the floor and he woke up because it was extremely hot in the room. Looking over at his cousin, he said he saw a dark shadow moving in the room and it stepped over the mattresse his cousin was sleeping on. He said he screamed and the shadow crouched down as if to become stealthy but he could still see it there.

He was yelling for his cousin to get up because a shadow was creeping over him. So with the shadow being taking a crouched position when my son first screamed, seems to project these entities are aware of the instance they manifest themselves into our realm.

I also seen these shadow entities back on the 80s in an apartment I was renting. It was a small black glob forming in my perhiperal vision. If looked straight onto the form it vanished. I thought it most closely looked of a black cat and moved about. I never told anyone and I acquired a girl friend who decided she must move in. With her came a kid.

Her kid one day tells his ma, he wants out of there. When she asked him why he began to tell her about a black cat like form he was seeing all the time. Of course she tells me this and I go Ok, and I begin to tell her, I never told anyone this but, I also seen this thing. This really creeped the kid out and he moved out. The girl friend stayed but was even more creeped than the kid.

Than in 2003 and on, I see these figures standing around my bed when I would lay down for the night. they would move around and one even bent over the side of the bed and smiled as it looked into my face.

These entities looked as one would see the world reflected in a store window during daylight. Than, at night when I am sitting in my recliner looking at tv I will see a figure looking threw my windows at me. When I look to see what is moving there, it pulls back from the window and steps back from view.

I have spirits all around me.

The last year the company I work for moved my team over to a mostly unused building. It is a retired call center, so we still had all the cube walls and equipment in it, just no people. Most of my team works during the day, I stay at night to monitor the existing business in the building across the street. Every night, about 8:30pm, I would see a black silhouette move across the half door to our row. It is about 6 feet tall, and always moves from left to right. Over the course of the last year, I have seen it about 80% of the nights I was at work. On several occasions, I have seen either the same or a similar shape moving along other walls in the building at different times. At 8:30, I'm usually the only person in the building, but a few times some of my co-workers were still in the office. One co-worker came in to work at night, stayed until 3am, and ended up seeing the shape moving along another wall about 1am. He talked to me the next day about it, which was good because I had not told any of my co-workers about my experiences. I figured that I was probably going crazy and left it at that until it was experienced by others.

I'm not sure this was a shadow person. All I know is that it was roughly a man-sized silhouette that seemed to move under it's own influence. It has been seen by other people. When I first started seeing it, I experience a sensation very much like a panic attack. Several times I ended up leaving work early without logging out of my computer due to an overwhelming sense of fear. My wife would get calls at night because I needed someone to talk to. I'm not easy to scare, so when I told her I was actually scared to be at work, she would start worrying. My co-worker who saw it at night also had a near panic attack and called his wife that night. The company gym is also in that building, and in talking with people, I've learned that many people who worked out alone or nearly alone in that building would have panic attacks or just an overwhelming compulsion to leave quickly.

The company moved my team back to the main building a couple weeks ago, and I haven't had any of the same experiences in the occupied building. When I go to the gym, it's usually at 8:30 - 9pm and I still see the shape 3 or 4 nights a week. It is easier to see with peripheral vision than straight on, but if you know when to look for it, you can see it straight on. I haven't tried to take a picture of it as cameras are banned at my workplace and frankly, I'd rather not risk my job for the sake of visual proof. I'm not sure why I'm typing out my experiences here, this is more for me than you I'm guessing.

I've though for quite a bit on possibly why these exist and how. I persoanlly have a theory that dimensions are layered and that these beings are actually images from that fringe on the dimension. But being as they can sort of interact with us, I don't know how they can or why. I do know that since I've gotten more animals they tend to stay away though they still are curious. I've yet to meet an evil one bent on harassing, although if you consider being spied on harassment I guess I am. I tend to think of them as how we are with new species. And from that aspect maybe that is why people are so afraid of them. I mean I'm sure an animal is scared when we trap them and then start poking and prodding them.

My take anyways

Hello all.
Shadowmen.. Well I gotta say I have seen far tooo many! I think we just call them shadowmen because that is the way we see them. I am a christian, and I believe them to be demons and angels. I have taken a few of them with my cell phone. Now I see them all the time, it can be quite frightening. But the bible says not to fear anything but him. Like the old t-shirts.. hahah.. LOL.. NO FEAR.. But it is key. If you aren't a believer and you have seen these things, I pray you get on your knees and ask Jesus to forgive you and ask him to lead your life. These manifestations are very real! They are only further proof of scripture. I can't say I know everything, because I don't. But they do talk, have you ever sat all by yourself, not really thinking of anything, and really awful thoughts cross your mind, a thought that starts with YOU should go do this..... and its really a bad Idea, But if you stop and realize what you are really thinking about say, work or reading your email, you realize its not even you thinking it, these thoughts are created by demons, trying to get you to do evil. Recognize them for what they are and Rebuke them in the name of jesus. I know you may not believe me, but try it next time a really off the wall mean thing comes to mind, and you will find it to be true.
Anway..
Remember this GOD IS LOVE... he will protect you. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added upon you. (which these things refers to your needs, food/clothes/shelter/personal needs)

Love one another as onto the lord!.

Sincerly,
Christ follower

holy moley!
if that is real, then it debunks one of my theories that when a shadow person sighting occurs, that it is usually a CIA agent and people blow it out of proportion, but that is almost frightening. it reminds me of this story my fiance told me about a car that was driving itself with no one behind the wheel. she has other stories and more curiosities about shadow people. i'll have to get more details about the car story

I too have encounters with shadow people. They come when a room is dimly lit and or you are sitting very still.They play mischief with you but hardly ever cause harm. Wether you believe or not we should just let it be because if they are real,wich i believe so,there isn't anything we can do about them.

I don't feel like registering. Lets just call me Regular Bible Guy. As i'm a regular guy who believes everything about the Bible.

Very interesting topic here. I think that I might have encountered these things before.

Just a few days ago, I was asleep but probably in that 1/2 way state. It was late around 12:00 midnight or so. I was semi awake and paralyzed and being strangled by a shadowy black humanoid figure. He was stretched out parallel to my body and seemed to be semi hovering above me. He had red eyes. His intent was not good.

Being a devout Christian, I rebuked him saying (or thinking) "IN THE NAME OF JESUS! BEGONE!". I woke up after that, I'm not sure if my wife woke me up or if I just woke up. But apparently I had woken her up in my struggle.

We prayed and went back to sleep.

My daughter is 3 and has had a few episodes of night terrors the past few months. One happened about a week ago. She kept me up with her for a few hours. Me holding her and praying with her, but it would not stop. Once I asked her what was going on or what she was seeing. She was in her bed and I was sitting there on the side of her bed. She then pointed up in the air to something across the room that I couldn't see and said, "look papa look." in a distraught scared kind of voice. I did not see anything.

A month or so before that, my wife was late getting back from her parents house or something, so me and my daughter laid down in my bed and fell asleep. She kept waking me up with a night terror. The next day, I asked her what she saw. She saw a hole in the ceiling with people killing people and she made a hand signal across her throat like someone slitting someone's throat. (Reading what I wrote sounds pretty disturbing)

I wonder if the one that was trying to kill me is related to my daughter's night terrors????

My experiences go all the way back to when I was 2 (as far as I can remember). It seems like every once in a while, I'll experience something that can be labeled as paranormal or a vision or some kind of nightmarish dream that seems to real.

But back to the topic of the shadow people or the inky black men.

When I was 2, I had a vivid dream that something was floating me out of my room across the hall and into my parents' room. I floated around their bed. It was night time of course. Once getting around to the other side of the bed (after doing a semi circle around it) a large black hand came out from under the bed and grabbed me. It may be worth noting that there were signs posted every where in this vivid dream. I could not read them, but understood them as warnings or something.

Another experience with one of these black beings was in college. I was actually working at the time and living a prodigal son kind of life to say the least. I had been asleep, it was morning. I was asleep but thought I was awake and saw a 3 foot tall inky black being walking across the room. It was broad daylight with the morning sun coming into the window. I new it to be evil and tried to attack it. Something was restraining me. In the vision or OBE or whatever, I was at the foot of my bed growling and trying to grab it while it gleefully pranced across the room almost taunting me. My girlfriend woke me up because I was grawling so loud. When I woke up, I was not at the foot of my bed but laying down. The room had the exact same appearance as it did in my dream. I mean the light was EXACTLY the same.

Another time I saw one in a dream or vision. It seemed really frustrated with me. I felt at peace as God was protecting me.

That's it for the inky black beings for me.

In Highschool a good buddy of mine (who's also a Bible Guy) saw one about 7 foot tall in his house one night. Actually standing up in his doorway to his room. How bizzare!

Also, I agree with others. We should not seek them out. The Bible is clear on this. If they appear, deal with them by commanding them to leave in the name of Jesus.

The shadow people are mostly demons that are caught in between heaven an hell.Though they mean no harm they sure can scare the mess out of you.They have been seen for thousands of years.Most people say that they are ghost or spirts,But their is a HUGE differance between gost and shadow people,when a ghost touches you,it only feels like a clod breeze,but when a shadow person touches you it feels like a hott spot,that because the way the air is around them makes their ora warmer and mostly more welcoming.

i always suspected that myserious shadow people are people who are shadows and who also quite mysterious

but who can ever know
