 Shadow People

I found this page and it brought back a memory...
http://artbell.com/shadows3.html
When I was about 16 or so I was seeing this girl that claimed that she saw shadows, her sister said the same thing. They both slept with their door shut because they usually were seen in the hallway. I didn't think she was crazy, and to an extent I believed her, but with out seeing them myself... well.
Her sister also told me a story about how she would oversleep a lot because her alarm clock would get shut off while she was asleep. She figured it was her sister doing it so one night she stayed awake in her bed so she could catch her in the act. She saw someone come into the room and shut off the alarm clock. Immediatly she jumped out of bed to turn on the light and went to the closet where whoever it was went when she got up. She opened the closet and there was nobody in it.
If you follow the link about there is a lot of various descriptions of these shadows... the ones that mygirlfriend claimed she saw where smaller, maybe closer to 3 feet or so tall.
Any thought or experiences?

Wrong.
I once headed out in the woods with a friend to make some music, he brought his drum and I brought my guitar, so we sat there a bit and started to smoked a J while we slowly started playing just some basic improv. stuff while sitting across from each other, then I noticed the warm sun on my back, after we finished the J and started to get into the music, I opened up my eyes(I always play with them closed) only to notice my friends shadow was facing me, and all the shadows of the trees, shrubs, plants, ect were inverted towards us the entire time the sun was to my back and the shadows should of been casting the oposite way. I pointed this out to my friend who seen the exact same thing and we looked around in amazement at what we were seeing the entire time playing effortlessly(something I ususally have a huge problem with).
So how are you going to tell me that shadows always do what is 'scientifcally' correct?
Please don't attempt to tell me it was because of the weed either.

I used to see just shadows. I still do, especially when I wake used to wake up in the middle of the night. After awhile they got more definition to them, and they looked like people, kind of. When I was very young I used to see this shadow that crawled across the ceiling and hid in the corners, it always used to scare the shit out of me, sometimes literally  . Then when I was about 16 or so I saw it again, only this time it wasn't a just a shadow, it was this weird thing with no skin and a very large jaw.
Shadow people are very weird. My alarm clock used to get shut off all the time too. And it would spontaneously freeze at a certain time during the night.

I prefer the term 'balancing', but cleansing could be used I suppose... for some odd reason, reality tends to work out exactly the way I want it to when I balance in the morning...

well actually i do have a very distinct memory of one time when i was about 9 or 10 years old ... of waking up after a nightmare in the middle of the night, and running to my parents room. on the way there were little 3 foot tall shadow people everywhere i looked. it scared me quite a bit... and is still quite vivid. i dont know whether they could be real 'shadow people' though...

Perception is a very strange thing how and why we perceive reality the way we do is subject to much discussion. But seeing shadows especially from corner of the eye in the peripheral vision is one of the key indicators of damage in the temporal lob of the brain. Damage my be a bad description unusual activity better fits what is happening in the brain when the fleeting shadow is perceived.

Do you have any links to places where this is discussed? Any in-depth info? Most of my friends have shadows in the corners of their eyes. Most of my friends have also taken hallucinogens...
I would like to know more about the the specific scientific mechanisms of this "unusual activity".

Many children report seeing 'invisable people'...shadow people seems a variation on that theme. The concept of an 'invisable friend'...though everything mentioned here seems more ominous and manevolent. But then, children arn't taught to accept such things...and seeing something that mommy and daddy can't see might lead to confusion...and thusly fear. And fear promotes itself once it becomes a mental process...fear breeds fear. It's a particular kind of feedback loop...so where one child may find an invisable playmate...it is possible for another person with lenses of fear over their eyes to see something a menacing shadow lurking waiting to pounce.

Man, I wish I never read this. ;) It reminds me of when I was little... I had (and still have) a very vivid imagination (hopefully...). I would see, hear, and feel things that "weren't" there (again, hopefully). These things were awful. Many nights were spent with all but my eyes peering out from under my blanket. That in itself was awful. I would get so hot, every night of my childhood. I developed ways to fight the heat off. You know how when you move a limb to another part of the bed it's refreshingly cool? Well I would make my way across the bed so that I entered a new part, and let the old parts cool... I did the same with my pillow, flipping it after so long... It was so scary that I only dared to leave my bed once, that was a top speed burn down the hall to my parents room... Scariest moments of my life. I remember jumping off the bed, more like leaping, so I'd be out of reach of the shadows under my bed when I hit the floor... I'm 18 and I'm getting very nervous right now... Plus it's 4 in the morning and I've been reading about everything from Jesus to airplanes for the last few days straight (I've slept, I'm not on speed or anything).
I guess it's all imagination, right? But how can things be so vivid in a childs mind? Perhaps there is a little truth to the shadow people, by the time we're adults most of us have the mental power (from constant effort) to block them out. I don't know...
I often walk around the house at night, pitch black, so as not to disturb the rest of the family. I can't deny the very strong feelings of oddness I get, even now...

Another thing: Considering the possibilities of other levels of existence... Could the shadow people be something of an overlap of realms? Man... If it was daytime I'd probably be laughing about this now... shit. The logical brain is telling me it's imagination though...

Yeah, The Heat brings back memories. I used to go through all that pillow turning and stuff back in the day. I used to imagine that every part of me had to be under the blanket, and if my toe or something was to accidently stick out I would end up being dragged all the way out....

Ulysses, please elaborate more about seeing the figures...sounds coming from them....any information about the actual experiences with them.
If they are beings, which is very possible I guess.......don't accept them(if they are malevolent\"service-to-self"), don't fear them....they can't harm you if you don't let them.

I would not believe in shadow people but I have seen strange things myself, and I always say seeing is believing.
One night I was parked at a park with my girlfriend, just doing what people do at a park at night with their girlfriends. As we were leaving, I saw a figure darting from tree to tree. The figure was bipedal, but did not look human. It was also very large, larger than an average person. Even though there would have been enough light to see a normal person, the figure I saw was totally black.
Now I've seen some strange things but my girlfriend saw it too and described it as I did. We both said at once: "What the fuck is that!?" And fuck. Was it ever fast. It seemed to move around effortlessly and any time we looked right at it, it would jump away.
I've seen a lot of scary things, many of them come out of my own head. But this topped everything, we were both petrified and screamed out of that park as fast as possible.

but i was like 12 years old
howcome trippy shit always happens to you when yoru younger? im 17 now and i havent experienced any weird events like i used to when i was a little kid :(
damn
oh yeah i get my alarm clock turn off all the time also, i dont think these are shadow people doing this.. its actually me doing it in my sleep
cos i would wake up (without knowing) switch off my alarm clock and go back to sleep. that cost me heaps of late work days.

About the actual people I saw... It's hard to say. When I was little I would always stare at things and find myself amazed at what they would do. Then in bed I would just lie there with my eyes open, gazing at not the wall or the fan or whatever, but almost through it. To this day I do that... just stare at nothing. Recently, I've been noticing the "shadow people" (I suppose) again. Until I read this post I wan't worried about them being malevolent... Anyhow, I'll just lay back in bed, zone out, and strange things almost immediately begin happening. I can definately see things moving aroung, very quick, but I can't really make out figures, ie: bipedal. I also start to visually hallucinate (the kind with the colors that seem to appear on your eyes...) and then I can't see anything anymore (I mean that, the colors block out pretty much everything in the dark) unless I blink them away. I sometimes write the shadows off as hallucinations like the colors, but there are differences. The colors just appear as shapes and things hovering there on my eyeballs, but the shadows are actually moving around in the room.
Once, in the colors faces began emerging, like silhouettes (where you can see eyes and cheeks etc. only through contrast...). They were very clear. They came looming out of the colors, and then melted away. This happened for a long time (before I went into the "trance" I looked at my watch. When I came "out" nearly an hour had passed. I figure at least half of that was the faces, probably more). I didn't recognize them, but they were definately faces. btw: I was sober at the time.
When I was small, seeing things like the shadows would have most definately scared the hell out of me...

If you have not seen the shadow people or any number of other things, or would like to see them better, try this:
Lay back in bed or on your couch or whatever (it should be dark, but being barely able to see things helps).
Open your eyes a little wider than normal (don't bug them out). This may not be necessary, but it seems to help.
Control your breathing so that you are calm.
Put yourself in a state of mind where you want to see things (not that you'll make them happen, but so that you're not afraid when the do appear).
Just zone out staring. You're not staring at an object, but almost in another dimension (like staring through or past your wall, but at the same time you're not really staring "that far", just kind of into the room). When I say "into another dimension" I don't mean dimension Zantar or something, but like the 4th dimension of perception...
Your eyes might hurt, especially if your house is really dry. If you blink them to get rid of the pain (it's a dry feeling really) they will hurt even more when you open them again. You might want to just give up and try another time.
Well, I can't guarantee this will work for you...
Another thing that works great: If you meditate, do that. Close your eyes and do your transcendal thing, then keep yourself in that state and open your eyes, its almost like you're seeing the residue of all those who came before you, or are existing elsewhere right now... I don't remember ever having much if any interaction with the shadows... There was one time when one came over and got onto my bed... it was kind of an androgynous elf creature, but I don't remember why this happened (I wasn't high but I don't think it was an actual elf...)
Well, if you feel like it, give that stuff a try.
Oh ya, one more hint: Try not to chase them around too much with your eyes unless they appear very clear. If you do you will probably lose them. It's best to almost wait for them to pass through you vision... Or so it seems.

I've seen invisible people before. But, they definately weren't shadows. I think seeing shadow people is a symptom of pschizophrenia.

Could be. Maybe there's a place for pschizoprhenia in this world though. I know really bad 'phrenia isn't fun... but there is something very powerful about it. There just isn't a place in our society for pschizophrenics, perhaps there will be one day. (I'm thinking of the book/movie dune, and those navigators... They once were people but through heavy "spice" use they become something very different, and are no longer suited to day to day life. They are however very powerful beings.)

Last night I laid in bed and played with focusing my eyes...4th dimensionesque toned over vision.....I saw BLACK shapes moving around, and one big ass one next to my bed with a big head....I started to get a little freaked out, plus I was very tired, so I pulled those sweaty covers over my head and cried myself to sleep.

when i was little i had a bird hanging from the roof near the end of my bed. if you pulled the string on it, it would gently flap its wings and move up and down. most nights i would look at it and i could see its silouette moving as if someone had pulled the string. but noone had. and the scariest part of my imagination was that i thought if i took it down it would get mad and come back to get me. so as a child for a few years i lived in mortal terror of the bird. and btw the only truely 2 dimensional thing that exists in the universe is a shadow. food for thought.

keepaskingtime- Are you serious? If so, I'm sorry to have caused you distress. ;) Do you consider what you saw to be real, or possible real? Or would you say it could have been from the suggestion... There is always a chance that it was a visual hallucination caused by the unfocosing of the eyes... But if we are both doing the same thing and getting honest results, I wonder... Has anyone else tried this? The fact that you were very tired could have played into it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it CAUSED it. For example: There are those who say drugs don't CAUSE hallucinations, but shift your vision, your perspective to allow you to see them.
I know in my case it isn't from the suggestion of the shadow people, like I said I've been doing the eye thing since I was a child... I did it again last night and I could definately see shapes moving around the room again, but not so clear as keepaskingtime saw. I did experience some of the same color related halucinations again (been seeing those since I was a child too, so it's not from too much tripping or something). I noticed last night that the light hallucinations counter the dark ones (they're kind of opposites...). Don't know wether to write them all off or not. Anyone else care to try and report back?

Oh hey man, I was serious about what I saw, but I was kidding about sweating/crying/freaking out. The shadows weren't very clear. The shape next to my bed was shaped like a figure whos outline was 2 ovals, one bigger(body) and one smaller(head). Very weird indeed.....I will try this again tonight.
real....not real......real........not real......real........well, I don't think I'm just making them up.

The best eye focusing technique I know is to do this: Relax your vision and stare at /nothing/. You'll notice the particular sense of 'tunnel vision' where you have a clear area right infront of you and a hazy area around your periphial vision. I've learned that you can 'peel' away the hazy area. You simply expand your visual field. Istead of staring at the screen of your computer for instance, try to stare at the entire expanse of your field of vision all at once with equal amounts of clarity. A Native friend of mine called this type of seeing 'absolute' vision. You're not looking at the specific object-to-object relationship your environment, but instead, the environment itself as unified thing. If you get this down, you can cause yourself to start to see more and more subtle patterns within your environment - and yes if you can maintain it long enough, you will begin to see visual disturbances (hallucinations). My Native friend used this method for tracking game, and I use it while in the forest myself to follow animal trails (if you have the opportunity to try this, I reccomend it).
Also, you can do the same thing to all of your senses - removing specific focus from a region or area and expand it outwards. Touch, hearing, smell..some are more localized to the body, but you get the general idea.
I post this because when I use this method of vision while laying in the dark, is see the same sort of colorful visual disturbances that were described above. Mine visual disturbance is blue - purple - red gradiation that usually 'explodes' out of the center of my visual field and expands to the edges of it. Once it reaches the very edge, the 'center' explodes again.
As towards seeing shadows, perhaps we should all become more aquainted with the notion of the dead existing with us. Christianity has it's purgatory, Buddhism has its bardo of the Hungry Ghosts. As I posted before, it is your own fear which is coloring theses experiences as menacing. Just as it is fear that keeps one from moving past the hallucinations of a trip to the further reaches beyond. Just as it is fear that causes the hallucinations, once they've caught you, to keep you bound up in a personal hell. Examine the significance of what these 'shadows' represent to you in a metaphorical context. The only thing which can quell fear is understanding. Once you understand the roots of your fear it will go away.

I agree Ishmael. I think we'r on the same page with this stuff (you've got the same visual things that I've got, with the colors and all). I wasn't worried about the "shadow people" until I read this, and then even that night when I watched again, my fear was gone. Only when I was a child was I truly afraid, and that had a lot to do with my nightmares as well. I mentioned above that they resembled some sort of residue or that they might be beings existing with us or on another level, perhaps parralel to us. I don't know if they are ghosts existing in our time, or in our world as we see it. I don't know if they are roaming around being ghosts and just existing as ghosts in our world, or if they are going around being whatever they are perhaps oblivious to us... Perhaps we are the same way, we are moving around on a biological level that they (or someone else, or no-one) are not seeing, or perhaps seeing only reflections of on particles of their environment which might be made up of the thing that fuels our dreams... or any possible thing you might be able to imagine. I don't know. I also doubt that what we are seeing is there to hurt us.
Remember when white people first saw Black people they were afraid. They were shocked because they didn't know something like that could exist. On this same note I'm sure that once you get used to seeing things you will not be afraid of them.

This thread has been resurrected! I notice I've been posting to some of these threads a lot more than anyone else...
Oh well.
I've had some interesting developments on the shadow people front...
Anyone else? Did everyone give up on them? Moved on to greener pasteurs?

I have known about Shadow People for a while now. People who have been researching them have said that they live in our lives but they just move way to fast for us to see them. That wouldn't explain how we could see them though.
Anyways early morning yesterday my brother claimed to see one. He said he woke up this morning and from the door way to his room there is a mirror. For a couple of mintues he saw a figure in the doorway and everytime it would come across the whole mirror would turn black. It happened for a while until he heard a low scream.
He got up to check my mom and aunt but they were ok. It was werid because when my cousin use to live in that house when he was little he also said he saw a shadow he named him Ted. Thing is my mom never told my little brother because she didn't want to scare him.
SPOOKY!!

I'm sure science has an answer for this too.
Wait a bit, they'll be right here.

Have none of you read anything about archetypes. Look up jung and archetypes.

I may have been reading Jung before you were born if you are of average Shroomery age.
If not you can be sure I have read a little Jung when I was.

This is indeed an old thread. But I have to admit that I have had similar experiences, though I was not at the time intoxicated or paranoid.
An evening spent near some mass burial grounds of Calusa indians yeilded a queer sensation of awareness. Some kind of conciousness on a massive scale very very very aware. The more my associate and myself noticed this strange air, the more intense it became, until we suddenly realised that all noise in the forest had stopped, even though we were being more silent than ever, and were definately not the cause of it.
We both sensed movements that were inperceivable to the eyes in the surrounding area, like a mass group of sneaking subtle masses that were only felt not seen. The same feeling I get when someone is watching me across a room.
I did not know that they were mass burial mounds until I embarrassingly admited this intense experience to a local professor(half jokingly so I did not look the ass). I did not go there to do anything aside from walk around innocently and romantically in the woods at night. I am NOT supersticious, but I know that something was going on that had nothing or very little to do with me, and whatever it was, it was definately of one spiritual sort or another.
ideas?

I get that feeling every once in a while.
Sometimes when I feel like that... I run. Just scratching an itch... nothing more.

One day, not that long ago i was watching tv and oddly (since i have good reception) the picture went all scrambled and when it cleared up i noticed that it was a different channel. And on that channel a story was being shown about a guy advocating against a prescription drug that causes serious side affects including depression and suicide not yet known to the users. I used to be on that medication and that moment has changed me forever because i was deeply affected by my use of the drug and to that day had never known why my life had been so degraded... I was so happy there was a reason why i felt so bad.. i cried knowing that it wasn't my fault.. And i am now a much happier person..... true story

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

last summer, there were 2 nights one after the other when i would set my alarm clock and wake up the next morning to find that it had been shut off. my parents just said i must have turned it off in my sleep, but in order to do that id have to sit up and stretch over the the dresser where the clock was, also, it was a switch thing, and is somewhat sensitive when you push it, so if i shut it off i probbly would have pushed it too hard making it go into the "on" position.anyways, i was talking to a friend the next week and she was telling me about how 2 nights the previous week she had seen a strange shadow over her bed...we figured out that her shadow incidents and my clock incidents happend on the same night....just a strange coincidence? or was evil lurking around? muahahhaha

Been seeing them since i can remember. I believe in another post a few months ago I said the same thing and got romped by good ol' Swam. They don't feel bad to me, at least not mine . They're just around, and somewhat curious. Since everyone else has a story lemme share as well.
Last tuesday in my house, I have a glass sculpture weighing about 10 lbs or so, thick, heavy glass, no its not a bong!! which somehow moved 2 rooms over (about 20 feet) and broke witha wicked loud SLAM!!!!! in my kitchen. At first I thought someone threw a brick through the window (been having neighbor problems.) anyway, I was the only person in the house all week, and NOONE would have dared tresspass on my 100 lb German Sheppard. I told my mom about it awhile later, and told her that ive always felt that something was in our house, and she said she felt the same exact way. Ive also seen the shadows at the university, and in friends' houses. daytime and night. Sometimes they're not shadow, but balls of light or streaks of light sometimes they have colors or just light. theyre are things around us at all times some nice, some not so. but it has nothing to do with dreams, or vision problems, or mental illness..we're talking about wide awake, perfectly sane, 20/20 vision, no brain tumors or chemical imbalances, just daily experiences here.
--------------------
================================================So what's your peace of mind huh? A swiss watch? leasin' a Lex on credit? all the pussy and liquor a nigga can get..put together this puzzle, but my pieces won't fit.. {Ras kass}
