Hi all, it's messiah again. I wanted to open up a discussion about shadow people. I have seen them and they "feel" evil. One tried to attack me. Anyone else have similar experiances? Also, a few years ago about midnight in the midwestern U.S. i saw the moon appear to rotate and begin changing several colors as it slowly (in a matter of 10 minutes or so) dipped below the horizon. Right around the time I saw the shadow person. What kind of astronomical phenomenon could account for that? Then there is frankinscence and myrrh. It's been my experiance that when burned it can kind of lift the veil between this state of reality and some other one. And what did Jesus use his frank and myrrh for?

Since leaving our former residence I have indeed not been "attacked".hmm.

Yes they definatly do feed on negative emotions, of this i'm 100% certain. Do you think they cause negative events or just swarm to negative "hotspots"?

Im not exactly certain what they are, but I have seen them myself.

My impression is that they are empty shells which immitate whatever they are exposed to in that environment. Which is why they take human shapes.

They don't seem to have any knowledge of feelings or emotions. If you're afraid they latch onto that, just the same for if you're happy. It is natural human instinct to be afraid, so you will find more instances of them drawing on fear.

For me I just ignore them, I have never had any negative experiences. I will say they are more prevelant during emotional periods.

By Shadow people, are these possibly linked to night terrors. My daughter from birth would wake up with night terrors and it was the strangest thing, i wouldn't be able to bring back to for 30-45 mins and she would just scream and cry and shake. i read up on night terrors and some people say that they see dark figures.....do you think this could be linked some how?

Any one know anything about the moon changing colors and setting within 10 mins? or the frank and myrrh topic? or should I start a new thread?

The pics did not look like what I saw. The manifestation I observed started as a sort of anguler black "cloud", imagine a black cloud made of polygons. The cloud tried to envelope me. As I became fearful a man dressed in all black with salt and pepper gray hair and an olive skin tone manifested sitting down in front of me. His clothing was a black button up longsleeve shirt, black slacks and shiny black shoes. His eyes I was not able to discern though there was a red aura around them. He felt malicious, like he wanted to enter my being for some reason. At this point I became angry and he appeared even clearer to my sight. At this point I realized he was feeding off my negative emotions(some backround- I was already in a meditative state, frankinscense and myrrh was burning, and I had a double circle of protection around me which the entity could not penetrate) Clearing my head of all thoughts and chatter, I then began feeling only love and peace and closed my eyes, only to open them back up when I felt the presence gone. At this point a sort of clear smoke( imagine the predator with his cloaking device on, clear yet having a definite volume and mass) wafted from my right(west) out my window(east.) At that point whatever experiance I was having with any entities stopped. Mind you the house I was in was extremly haunted. For years family members from all over had come there and seen shadow people going up and down stairs, there was a basement room where many of the kids under 5 or so(myself included) seen a cave and stairs at times in the room, and my girlfriend at the time had a dream(without knowing about the hauntings or anything about shadow people) that three shadows tried to pull her through the floor to the basement room and stretched her body like 20 feet from wher she held onto my ankle through the floor with her feet being sucked into the weird cave room. We also observed dead family members in the house, seperate from the shadow people. The house was built by a german immigrant in the 1920's. Behind a brick wall way before I was born a manuscript detailing how to "control the demons solomon commanded" with strange sigils was found. Much to my dismay upon hearing the story the manuscript was said to have just disappeared one day- although it cannot be ruled out one of my crazy uncles found it and did something with or to it. So thats my story. Oh and that same girlfriend also said she saw a animal like shadow on the wall moving one night(I was not there). Also upon entering the house, no matter what kind of good time we were having, as soon as you stepped in the front door(coincidently right above the weird cave room in the basement) we would start going at it. The house has since been sold.

I've seen them many time myself. They usually are just "passing through" and have never paid me much attention that I could tell. Makes me kinda believe the interdimentional theory, but who's to say that there aren't more than one kind of "shadow person" out there. Isn't it possible that maybe some are travellers passing through dimentions, and that some are entities tied to this plane for whatever reason?

the strangest thing about shadow people for me is the sheer mundaneity of most reported encounters, some are fantastic but most are a brief glimpse from the corner of the eye. there are some fantastic reported encounters but the majority are mundane.

frankincense was an expensive resin used in incense and perfume at the time of christ, well it still is used for incense and perfume but that was its intended purpose. myrrh was used as an anointing oil for kings. the maji also bought gold. they bought these gifts as they had come to honor a king, the gifts would have been normal fare for this type of event.

the actual purpose that the gifts were put to isn't recorded in the bible but i imagine lw2525 isn't far wrong when he says they were sold or traded.

I do not, wish to be critical, of any of the experiences here.

I have not been in the presence of a shadow person, in the way most people describe them. I have witnessed "corner of the eye" peripheral vision, not person but something approximatly the size of a large dog, passing by me in my kitchen only the once some months, One of the common sensations is the feeling of dread or impending doom. Although I am an objective paranormal investigator, many of the mediums and psychics I work with and circles I attend. They all pretty much swear by spiritual protection, calling upon Angelic protection.

Whilst I am not 100% convinced of this, but if the "evil" entities are causing your life awkwardness and fear, then to call upon the "Love and Light" Cannot be ruled out as an option of practice.

If they are effecting a child, I seem to have read in the thread, that is worrying. Whether you believe it or not, or whether these Shadow beings/people/folk are affecting you and your family. You could take practical advice, such as getting a spiritual circle to conduct a clearing, putting up mental or magick protection around the house. whether wicca based or magic based. I strictly dont know how it works, maybe its a placebo effect that youve done something and psychologically, magick and rituals re-enforce the mind/bodys own ability to protect them mentally with some kind of force field, maybe those of slightly different plane to ourselves really can seen the Aethiral energy.
I have seen the effect, and it can be life changing. Blue light apparently according to 2 colleagues of the Spiritual National Union SNU here in the UK. is put in bedrooms to ward off "Spirits".

I'm not telling you what to do, I am just showing you options.

If someone has had a Shadow person, 1st person contact. Would you been able to write your full experience to me. I am very intrigued and will now pursue a course of research. As yet, I cannot U2U reply as essentially I'm a new poster. I do wish to break ATS code of conduct regarding posting personal information. If possible go to my website www.NPNetwork.org.uk and email me from there.
