Okay, didn't have time to read the entire thread, though I'll keep going back and reading more. I feel compelled to add some of my own thoughts and
experiences about the Shadow People.
First off, I guess I should give a little background on myself. I've been a 'sensitive' pretty much since I was born. I will see and sense things,
though my senses have become rather clouded the last few years, it's become harder to 'feel' and 'see' what's 'around' me. This may have
something to do with my poor health, the shadow people, or both.
So, roughly about twelve years ago is when I first started noticing the Shadow People. I believe that there are at least a few different kinds, and
that they come from a dimension or plane that intersects with our own, occupying the same general 'space' as ghosts (and possibly other paranormal
beings)-- but they're not ghosts. They're not even remotely human feeling. They were never humans, they will never be humans, but they feed off of
us.
At first, they were just short, maybe 2.5'-3', creepy little inky blobs, with glowing eyes, large heads, and octopus-ish bodies (multiple
tentacles). My impression was that they were Scout/'Scientists', investigating us, if we would notice them, what we would do, and how we would react
to having certain things done to us. Several of my friends who are also sensitive, physically recoiled when I did a sketch of the things and showed it
to them, agreeing that they'd been seeing the same things, without verbal prompting from me.
After a while, the Scouts just seemed to leave, and we all breathed a sigh of relief and hoped it was over. No such luck.
A couple years after the Scouts, came the Guards. These ones were even creepier. They were featureless creatures vaguely human in shape and height
(though tending towards the larger side). They would just STAND around... watching, I guess? Breathing (Don't ask me how they did this without noses
or mouths, but I could feel it, and it creeped the hell our of me). I would describe these as like zombies, very rudimentary minds. Their favourite
tactic seemed to be to just stand behind you. Within about 1-3', or at least that's what it felt like. If you moved, they moved with you. Always
behind you. Almost permanent 'creepy thing standing behind you and watching' feeling. Ugh. If you deliberately struck out at them in any way,
they'd violently yet mindlessly LASH out against you, and let me tell you, it isn't pleasant. Like they were harming and defiling your energies,
your soul. My friends also verified the same, without prompting, just like the first time. Unfortunately, I've since fallen out of touch with these
friends.
The Guards still haven't really left, they're still around, though in fewer numbers. Next, came the Commanders. You can feel the malicious
intelligence from them, they're far more defined, and come in a variety of sizes, from 'Adult' human to 'Baby'. I'll most often get the
baby-sized ones looking in through my windows. I think that these are the ones that are messing me up the worst, since my senses just seemed to start
to dull out about the time they showed up, my health also took a turn for the worse. These are, I think, the main 'race' of the shadow people, and
the most intelligent. They manipulate the other types.
I almost certain there are more types, however I'm pretty unfamiliar with them. They seem to be drawn more to those of us with 'second sight', or
'6th sense', whatever you want to call it. We pose a bigger threat, and yield more energy. Like a bright light bulb in a dim room, we attract
attention.
Hopefully some of you have similar feelings, and I didn't just come off sounding like a nutcase
Sorry for the long post.
