Shadow people (also known as Shadow figures, shadow men, shadow beings, or just "Shadows") are a supernatural
phenomenon seen by some people. Shadow people are often described as a black figure or humanoid silhouettes. Sometimes they have been reported as
having a misty or smoky appearance. The height of the Shadow people varies from very short, 3 feet tall, to the very tall, 10 feet tall. Shadow people
are often seen by people who are suffering from sleep paralysis but this is not always the case. At times people have only seen these shadows in their
peripheral vision.
Shadow People Origins.
The origin of the shadows is unknown but there are many ideas as to what the Shadow people are.
Some people say that they are only tricks of the mind or moments of mental illness. Those who see Shadow people while suffering from sleep
paralysis my only be dreaming. Shadow people seen in the peripheral vision could really be seeing anything including their own shadow.
Some think that Shadow people should be grouped into Cryptozoology and could be extra-dimensional creatures that sometime appear in our space.
Others think that they are ghosts that are searching for help while
some that study the paranormal say that ghosts do not appear as shadows but will be seen as Orbs or apparitions of people. Often Shadow eyewitnesses that have a strong religious background believe that these shadows are
demons and will recommend prayer for protection from the shadow. Some even believe that the shadows are actually extra-terrestrials that place the
person in a state of paralysis for abduction purposes. One interesting theory is that they are manifestations of our own negative energies and the
only way to get rid of the shadow is to rise above your fears.
