Hmm, I suppose shadow people is one word for them. Entities or even demons is another.
Never really had any hassle as an adult from them.
As a kid I saw them about 2 times but they never really attacked me as such, more of a curiousity type of thing.
After I got to about 16 I think the ageing process usually makes you a lot less likely to see them.
I also think having your house blessed by a priest is a very good idea.
For piece of mind if nothing else.
When I'm staying overseas i was trying to get to sleep on the bed when I was drifting into sleep all of a sudden my name was said to me like a
softish but loud and fast whisper! Enough to jolt me wide awake.
I'd like to think it was my guardian angel letting me know he/she was out and about
There was a story of these three catholic kids in Lincolnshire, England who saw what they reckoned to be an angel, but then after it went away a
shadow person appeared in its place.
Their parents witnessed it just before it disappeared. The next day all three of the kids were upstairs when they saw what they thought was the angel
again, this time it wasn't one but was solid looking grey coloured and had red eyes. They could just tell it was bad news.
They raced out of the house and in hysterics.
The parents actually called the police, which is how the story got out locally. The local priest investigated and confirmed that it was an
entity/demon that they saw. He blessed the house and all was well.
I only found out about this via a catholic website which had the link to the gazette that ran the story.
