The Shadow People

So I've had a couple of experiences in my life in which I encountered apparitions that were entirely in sillouhette. One such occurance happened when I was 6 years old, and another happened very recently. This led me to do some searching on the internet, and I've found lots of people talking about this very same phenomenon. They've dubbed them Shadow People. Here is an excerpt of a description here: (link to full story is http://www.iessr.org/shadowstories.htm)
What Are Shadowers / Shadow People?
Shadowers are usually described as some of the following: Darker then Dark (void of light), 5 to 16 ft tall, short thin silouette, red eyes, no eyes, they apear to have no light shine on them or seem to suck light out of the room. Some have what apears to be trench coat and hat but only the silouette in black of this. They can take at times take on any form they wish, inlcuding people you may know (very temporarily).
They seem to be able to promote a deep primative fear even without actually visually seeing them as if they can touch your soul, unlike ghosts. They have been know to get physical, threateningly verbal, cause nightmares and cause regular ghosts to flee when they appear. They are very much like psychic vampires, in that they feed off fearful energy produced by humans. They can cause continual nightmares and sleep disturbances. Shadowers seem unaffected by religious items and only seem to disapate on the their own free will or if the one being haunted no longer fears or is not angered (another form of energy drain) by them.
Me again:
I can attest to this primitive terror they instill, and the fact that they're so dark they seem to absorb the light. My question is, has anyone else here had experiences with the Shadow People, and what do you think they are?

Sometimes, when I hear people talking about this, I FEEL like I've seen shadow people... but then I remember I was addicted to Asheron's Call for a long time...

Your recent experience makes me feel like I should've posted the February Energy report be Fenn for ya. I'll get it up here. Maybe it was in a different one. I'll try to find it.
Lots of people who thought they were done and over with shadow work are being thrown back into it again for even DEEPER clearing. Shadow work is just working to overcome the fear the shadow self can generate in you. It's no fun to go through but its a good feeling when you can overcome it and you end up all the stronger and self empowered for it.
Me too again gliders. Went through the worst of it last week with bad dreams and bad energy drains sucking off me. I didn't see any shadow people though, never have, but I did see those dark energy blobs whizzing by a few times. I know I have been going through more shadow work and got myself sucked up into a black hole and can't wait to get spit out of the other side of the white hole as pure divine light again. Whata washing machine cycle it is.
My dolphin totem left and and of all things an owl came in to take me through the next phase. Once I realized an owl totem was working with me, I started researching it. Oh man, I read this stuff about it last night coming from the dark shadowy realms to take you through its realm in safe passage and out into the other side of it where there is much light and joy. The upside is, you see really clearly with its eyes while you work with it.
Just going to roll with it and get through this passage as quick as possible.
Very TIMELY of you to post about that Gliders. Other may not reply but they may relate and appreciate what you shared.
Don't fear them people. They are a projected reflection of your own shadow self and or if you prefer to separate it from you, see it as that your own shadow self (self that generates fear) drew one to you. Doesn't matter because how you handle it is just the same.
Just remember that you always have control over your mind and heart and soul, even when it doesn't feel or seem that way. Overcome Overcome Overcome with Light and Love and its strength.

When i was young i had a very close freind that would always talk about seeing these enities that you described. He also called them shadow people and he would draw pictures of them, somtimes with red eyes and somtimes without in a atempt to describe them to me. Your description describes them exactly how he described them. First time i have heard somone else mention somthing about the shadow people.

my cousin and close friend both have told me experiences with shadow people. i think its just hallucinations of the mind... Come on guys.. aliens, god, ghosts.well maybe aliens,we just never saw them.. i am a very open minded person... i am open to all these crazy ideas... but in my experience.. the people who believe are the people who see them the most. its because the idea was manifested by their mind!

Who knows is right. Thats why people ask questions and share notes and do research.
My daughter saw one a few weeks ago and she NEVER heard anything about "shadow people".
So far I have only seen the little black blobs whiz by when I am feel drained. Last spring, myself and many others were seeing light in the shape of birds wizz by. That was cool.
Here's the thing, a human or other worldly being can't make you feel fear if you stay centered in unconditional eternal love to blocking out of all else. Neither can drain you of energy in that state of being either.
People can vamp energy off you to give themselves a boost by instilling fear in you, angering you, frustrating, shaming, rejecting, denying, or confusing you.
I believe most people who go to vamp it and those who let others take it do so subconsciously as a product of learned behavior and not knowing the underlying dynamic at play.
Someone who isn't self sourcing energy from the heart or who moved out of the heart place has to pull energy from others to feel vitalized. Thats why we feel so drained around negative mental people and don;t even realize whats going on until we feel the drain on us.
Just remember that we control our minds hearts and souls at all times. If we move pack into our heart place and self source from love, we can reboost ourselves and even have more to give in a loving manor to those in need, instead of feeding them to get a lift through being in a negative leaking emotional state ourselves.
There's a nother type of parasitic energy vamping that goes on which has nothing to do with another person or other worldly being trying to suck energy off of ya.
People self parasite when all on their own they get caught up into negative self talk and thinking thought loop patterns. When they put themselves down, fear they are not good enough, deny themselves of joy, reject parts of themselves they don't like, drown in guilt, or resentment and grudges ect, they become self parasitic and often, they run themselves so low on vital energy, they end up dis-eased.
Its important to watch out for it and take advantage of opportunities to master staying in the heart place and being able to self source and not fall prey to negative mental drains.
Its easier then it sounds to stay in love and in the heart place and self sourcing 25/7. It makes it easier if we keep reminding each other. Some thought loops are hard to break out of but it can be done and vital beingness can be restored.

When I first encountered these guys, I wondered if it was my own shadow self as well. Perhaps it is, in a way.
Also interesting you mention working with Owl. A few years ago, I was visited in the dream state by a tall character I called the Owl Man. In the dream, he's asked when I was going to face him. I ran away. This latest shadow, I told it I was ready to face it, and it looked like the outline of the Owl Man. I also wondered afterward if it was the spirit of Ayahuasca, even.
Truth is, I just don't know and I might not ever know. I still think it's interesting that so many others are experiencing it too.
I would be very interested in seeing the February energy report, for sure!

I posted one of them I came across recently, but it wasn't the one that discussed more shadow work coming up for people who thought they were long done with it. I can't remember where I read that one to go get it.
An owl man huh? Thank "Gad" I don't see figures in rooms when I am awake. That would freak me out. I know many who do-some beautiful and some not. I just get imagery off of intuitive feelings when I'm awake. Thats fine enough by me for now.
Working with animals totems is pretty cool. I use to laugh at that stuff and didn't understand experientially how it worked when I heard people talking about it or read shaman stuff.(my own ignorance)
Last fall, I started having a lot of dreams with dolpins in them. Most had to do with being at Andromedean dolphin and whale consciousness concil meetings. Far out stuff. I wish I remembered more of what was going on at them when I woke up. I was moved to get a dolphin avatar and just felt extra joyful, loving and playful.
Some time a little later, I read an energy report that said, those of us who havn't already been working with animal totems will begin too. I figured that must have been what was going on. It's like their nature of energy and what they are good at becomes a HUGE influence on you and they act like intuitive guides of sorts taking you through their realms, like the dophin does the water realms of the emotion of Love and fluid play.
Then a few weeks back, that joyful, loving, playful energy just tanked and I got out of character serious and started staying up all night, very alert. I did some meditating on what was going on with the change and finally intuited an owl totem had come unto the seen. I reasearched it and it seemed to fit the changes I was going through. Like I said, I'm rolling with it, curious to see where the owl takes me and what it can show me.
Life is so trippy

Yeah, owl is all about seeing in the darkness, being un-foolable (if I may make up my own word here!), and traveling in worlds beyond. Pretty cool, actually. After the Owl Man came after me in the dream (he was accompanied by an owl on a T-shaped post, parallel to hte ground with closed eyes to the sky), things began to get clearer for me. Then later I dreamt of having a baby owl of my own, so I thougth I must have made peace with the energy. Strange, huh?

Thats neat, you gave birth to a baby owl. I bet that was symbolic of you giving birth to your own owl energy. 
Now I want a dream where I have a baby dolphin I got jipped! Perhaps it is still gestating in me.

I have experienced these creatures while under the influence of mushrooms. Like you said, darker than dark, instilling primal fear.
I have also experienced apparitions of pure white light, dispelling the darkness, instilling profound peacefulness and comfort.
I believe these are angels and demons. The dark ones have no true power, but they tempt toward fear and hatred. They are the little dark ones who point to something other than the Bright Spot, often that other is the self.
I hope that's not too cryptic; if I tried to explain it in more detail, I think I would loose something in translation.

No, I think I know exactly what you mean. The dark ones point to self, as in, they get their power from the corresponding darkness inside us, which they quicken by arousing fear/anger/hatred inside of us? That's the feeling I get, anyway.

When i was twelve i saw a shadow person. it was the scariest thing ever. i was traumatized for 5 months and carried a cross around my neck and im not even christian... i was constantly on edge after that, it happend when i was standing in my kitchen then i looked down the hall and it came out of the bathroom, it was all sketchy like. and it felt like it was piercing my soul and i was so scared that my chest felt like i was having a heart attack or sumthin i had trouble yelling out i was so scared. when i was finally able to yell it scared the crap out of everyone in the house just cuz it was like a scream of terror. sadly it scared me so bad i cryed for like 15 minutes... I didnt find out till recently that other people had seen these things so i looked em up and found out about em. pretty fuckin creepy and it wasnt the first time ive ever seen anything like that... pretty damn trippy.
