No, it's 100% real this. I've seen them too, multiple times. Don't know what it could be though.

Bad advice to indulge mental illness, especially in a child. Also bad to tell someone else like the OP what they believe.

I truly hope you are not trolling, because I have a serious answer.
This kind of thing happened in my life as well. My daughters each reported something along these lines to me, and I would have just "blown them off" as a kid thing except I too had experiences like this both as a child and while I was raising my kids.
I can't say "they are this" or "It is that" like I know.
I can say that you should be there for him. Let him know you are also concerned and will be on the lookout with him. Don't lie and pretend its nothing. Don't offer him fake reassurances that it will just "go away."
Let him know that he is not alone in this. You are with him. You will be there whenever something like this happens.
Let him know he is not crazy. He is not full of it. And it is not "his fault." You believe he saw this.
It really helps.
Mental illness is a serious matter, and your son may be suffering from something. ATS is not the place to find help on this. Too many here indulging their own fantasy and motives.
No, off course not. Defitely not. This is real. I was just curious about other people's thoughts.

No judging at all, but do you have any stimulants laying around that he may have had access to, even if by accident? Or has your son been taking any new prescription medications? The only time I’ve seen shadow people is under the influence of a heavy dose of MDMA, and this was interesting because on an occasion or two, friends had also seen shadow people during their time without there being any suggestion of shadow people to them. I think they are just blinks into alternate realities/timelines of other people.

There is a very specific reason why it helps... it disconnects tethers.
I don't know why it does.
I have been told why it does but I cannot scientifically prove it.
But it does.
The hatman sounds terrifying , more so because of the hat for some reason

This subject brought me to ats.
Check out some stories here...not sure if any solutions are there, but interesting reading.
hatman
The image on that link is dead on what I saw in my house.
I went after it. It disappeared through a locked door.
Craziest sh## I have ever seen and only esoteric type experience I've ever had.
Check into hatman and shadow people. There's a ton of opinions though.
"They hang around negativity, ghosts, astral travelers, time travelers, from another dimension etc"
They are related to sleep paralysis in many accounts.
Many reports of an old lady that accompanied the "hatman"
She would reportedly sit on chests and cause breathing problems.
The multiple reports of the same character matching this description is absolutely bonkers.
It gives me chills thinking about it.
another link...link

My son (11) has been seeing shadow people , or sometimes he describes them as stick people for a few months now.
He was home alone one time and he said he heard a door slam shut (very hard !) , so hard that the walls were shaking.
When I got home and we looked at that door , it was still locked.
He sees them running past etc. One time they were dancing on the wall for well over 20 minutes.
What could it mean?
I've seen them to, twice. Once after my father died and I had received the title to his car (now in my name) in the mail. I was looking at it, sensed something behind me, and when I turned around I saw a black shape/shadow on the floor dissapate away .
Firstly.
Why on earth are you leaving an 11 year old alone at home.
I think you will find that is illegal.
Secondly
Do not dismiss his experience, especially if it "runs in the family", shadow people are a mystery but one that has appeared throughout the ages, some people believe it's also a pre cursor to contact with other intelligences. Did you yourself have any strange dreams, lost time, weird marks appearing on your body when this happened to you as a child?

They are entities of some kind, could be demonic, energy related, inter dimensional or whatever I have no clue. From my personal experience and through years of research I found out that they feed on our negative energy; pain, sadness, hatred etc. this food or energy is sometimes referred to as “loosh”. they try to influence the more lower vibrational people around you to invoke negative emotions from you. I can go on and on.
