One reached around from behind me and tried to grab my shoulder, when i turned around he has gone, but another one (like a small animal) scurried across the hall behind me. I was tripping really hard at the time, but there is something about the profound darkness of the demons which makes you know they are real. Yes, they were fucking with me.
I had the most intense fear that they were going to fly into my eyes and possess me.
They feed on the fear, but you cannot defeat them by turning the fear into anger. I believe that prayer is the only way to defeat them.

Seems to be. And well at least you know for sure that they can't hurt in some other ways,others than making you feel fear.

They weren't so much "passing through," or trying to make contact as they were just watching/ creeping me out. The first one just pointed his finger or a gun at me, and I was too scared and young to try to open lines of communications. The second one I did attempt to dialogue with, but it went away then.

Yes, anger and violence feed them as much as fear. I definitely believe that. From what I understand, having a prayerful attitude and having "no doubt" that you can get rid of them is what it takes. This from Heidi Hollis, the expert on Shadow People. She wrote a book called "The Secret War."

Embracing Shadows... interesting name given the thread!
Isn't it strange the amount of dread and fear these things can generate? It's more than just fear of the unknown, or even fear of the known. I'ts bone-chilling fear.

My Lady was born and raised in London, England til she went to live with her grandmother in Jamaica at the age of 7. She used to sit and play on a large veranda with a railing around it. Sometimes, out of a mango tree, there descended (according to her report), tall, top-hatted, dark cloaked 'beings' who would walk past her on the veranda and enter the house. When she pursued, they were gone. She never saw their faces and she never felt fear, only curiosity. Jamaicans call these types of 'beings' Duppies. When she got a bit older, she stopped seeing them.

I've seen one of these guys before during a mushroom trip. I was just chilling in my car listening to music, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a tall and skinny dark figure besides my car, almost like it was creeping up on me. But as I turned to look at it directly, it disappeared. Pretty scary...I had never heard of any such thing before that day.
This has been vaguely discussed before I remember http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Forum11&Number=3164253&

there was a time period of my life when i would see shadow people at about the same time every night...i had one expirience where the shadow forcefully reached out and clutched my arm, another that poked the back of my head. that was intense to say teh least. but after a while i decided i would no longer be afraid, no matter what. and i havent seen them since.

I've never heard of this phenomenon before today, but I did encounter what is here called the Shadow people once a couple of years ago. I happened like this;
I was walking my dog in the nearby forest and my mother was walking behind me at a slower pace. The rain has just stopped ten or twenty minutes ago and the air was fresh. Suddenly my dog ran away from me and out off nowhere a rather tall 'man' appeared some 30 meters in front of me, walking straight towards me in a fast and decisive tempo. What was strange in his walk was that it was sort of 'mechanic' like. You know, when you see someone walking, you can notice that every move he makes is slightly different from the previous one, but this guy was just repeating the same moves over and over again like his hands and body posture were fixed. Anyway, as he got closer I looked under his hoot (he was wearing a yellow raincoat) there was nothing there! And not just nothing, it was like a Void sucking in all the light! It was really, really strange I tell you. And he was just walking like I wasn't even there. Like he didn't even notice me.
Now if I was alone, I would of thought I was having an LSD flashback or something but seconds later my mother came running to me, saying in a frightened voice 'did you see it!?', 'did you see it!?". After that I've called my dog and got the hell out of there and not just because it started to rain and thunder again.
Later on I've talked to some people in my community and to my surprise some of them even saw 'it' on couple of occasions right next to their homes.
That was 6 or 7 years ago and I've never encountered anything like that before or after that.

Did the thing the other people saw also wear the coat with a hood? If so, I guess it could only come out when it was raining?
Did it inspire this deep terror in you, and not just because it looked strange? That seems to be another hallmark of these people.

this is very strange. I remember when I was a kid I would have intense night terrors every single night. I would wake up and I just remember the incredibly intense fear that I felt. I have never seen these shadow people, although i had a wild imagination and always thought that my chair and things hanging off my door handle and things like that might have been monsters in the dark. However, one night I got so fed up with all the nightmares and constant terror that I prayed to God and just kept praying until I fell asleep, and from then on I have not had more than two or three nightmares. True story

Again, that corroborates what Heidi Hollis says about the matter. Something about constant prayer. I wonder if this is a result of the prayer itself, or if it's a tool to keep from feeling the fear?

I was afraid, but not terrified. What got me into a defensive mode at first was the way 'he' walked. Straight towards me, with fast and decisive tempo, like he was preparing to fight, but when he passed me and I've looked inside the hood all I was left in was surprise, shock, fear and intrigue. He didn't even seem to notice me or if he did, didn't look like he cared much.

it has already been stated that these beings have a similar kind of intrigue that we do in our daily doings. I think, we are more potent then we realize whenever we are 'in the middle' of something, like trying to sleep, or pay attention to our diner, or work. it's at these times i think we allow our mental motor mouth to run; similar to what psychologists refer to as free association. anyways, when we harbor fear (i.e. ignorance) towards something what happens? we loose sight of certain criteria- like the fact that you shouldn't fear a nonphysical being if you yourself are physical, and are aware of their presence. i suppose that's the most important thing about encounters with nonphysical being; 1) don't ignore what you saw, at least until there is some real leary examination 2) keep in touch with the immaterial as you ask questions of it and about it, and what i find to be the MOST helpful-- 3) refer to somewhere/one who knows a lick about it. These are just tips from my personal experience, perhaps yours differ.

They are what demons (probably) look like on this plane. The more powerful the demon the more real it is. The reason ghosts flee is the demons will take them back to the shadow. Never listen to what they say, do not pay attention to them at all. They WANT you to. They will deceive you as much as they can and trick you. If they appear turn away cover your ears close your eyes and pray to whatever you believe in. Scream the prayers if you have to. They WANT your soul. They will do anything say anything they can to achieve this. They are severely limited in what they can do and you do not HAVE to fear them, they are trying to scare you into doing what they want. Once they know you aren't going to let them they will give up and leave. If you see any of these I would grab a priest or shaman or whatnot and purify the room. You never know what is under your home...

For instance my parents house is next to a ravine in which animals simply refuse to live. There are no mushrooms, no frogs, not any sign of things that SHOULD be living there, since it is a wilderness area. I once found the skeleton of a bear or very large similar boned animal down there. There is something quite evil there. You can sense it, quite strongly. Always watching. I will not go down there at night. I have been there at night with people who swear they saw someone watching them. The filth of human pollution wallows in there. Garbage and motor oil and hog fuel. I once tried to clean it up, dug up the stream, did my best to try and clean it up. Horrid smelling biological goop, that is hopeless to clean up because it just keeps coming back in spite of the oil slick. I actually cried last time I looked down there at that rusty grill that the stream feeds out of. This stream flows directly into a salmon bearing river. It is like all the evil of this town has coagulated down there and channels darkness.

Very similar take to what I have been reading lately... This is probably why they conjure up that feeling of sheer terror like they do.

This is a prayer invoking the protection of the the Archangel Michael, who tradition holds let the army of God's angels in the fight against Satan and his angels.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
This prayer is effective against these "shadow people".

Has anybody had an encounter with such beings during an episode of Sleep Paralysis, or are those different entities? I cannot say I've seen a Shadow Person at any other time, except during my one episode of sleep paralysis. The presence of an unidentified, unusually dark figure in my peripheral vision while my body was paralyzed was an incredibly frightening experience. After a few seconds of panic I snapped out it, was able to move my head around and noticed nothing else was in the room. Unnerving to say the least. (and only now do I realize I missed a potential OBE experience by freaking out, damn!)
