The year was 1992 and I was laying on my back asleep in my bed. I remember opening my eyes and I could see that my bedroom door was open and the light was on in the hall.
Suddenly I realized there was a man standing next to my bed. He appeared as a highly defined black shadow as I could not make out a face or any true definitions besides the fact that in appearance he had on a trench coat and a hat.
Immediately I was afraid and tried to scream but I could not. I struggled to move my body but I was paralyzed in some strange way. I have a vague memory of trying so hard to get out of the bed that I was slightly able to move in slow motion but I could not get out of the bed.
I remember being stricken with terror unlike any experience I've ever had. The fear that gripped me was so strong, I struggled to say the name Jesus but I couldn't. So I began to think in my mind, Jesus, Jesus!
Suddenly I was fully awake, still lying on my back and the shadow figure had disappeared. I noticed that my bedroom door was still open and the light in the hallway was still on.
I thought to myself, was I having a dream or did this really happen?

Excerpt: http://memes.org/what-are-shadow-people-and-why-fedoraAccounts of shadow people typically describe them as being black humanoid silhouettes with no discernible mouths, noses, or facial expressions, though accounts also exist of them being child-sized humanoids or shapeless masses that sometimes change to a more human like form. The eyes are usually not described as being discernible but in some reports glowing eyes are mentioned. The color of the eyes is red. Generally, they are described as lacking mass, though their specific nature varies from a two-dimensional shadow to a vaporous or distorted three-dimensional form. Their movement is often described as being very quick and disjointed; they may first move slowly, as if they were passing through a heavy liquid, and then rapidly "hop" to another part of a witness's surroundings. Some witnesses describe this movement as though the shadow entities they have seen "danced" from one wall to the next, or as moving around the room "as if they were on a specific track". Often they are described as being seen staring at the floor. Some accounts describe what appears to be the outline of a cloak, and in some instances the outline of a 1930s style fedora hat. This last type is referred to by many alleged witnesses on the Internet as the "hat-man" due to its prevalence among Shadow people sightings.
Various depictions and artists rendering have been posted on the Internet.
Hypotheses
Several explanations have been proposed to explain the phenomena of shadow people.
Paranormal 
Explanations for shadow people have been drawn from the fields of parapsychology, metaphysics, cryptozoology, demonology, religion, and the occult:
Explanations for shadow people have been drawn from the fields of parapsychology, metaphysics, cryptozoology, demonology, religion, and the occult:
* A creature/s in an alternate reality whose dimension occasionally overlaps with ours, allowing it to be partially visible.
* A Manifest Thoughtform (egregore), ghost or demon created through various means, including negative psychic energy, black magic and other occult practices, or an event in which extreme emotional or physical stress/trauma has taken place.
* A creature in some way linked to Grey and Reptilian aliens.
* An unattended shadow or shade (mythology), said in some cultures, to be similar to that of a ghost, a flicker of a life unable to end for some reason.
Scientific
Several non-paranormal hypothesis for the phenomena of shadow people exist, including optical illusions or hallucinations brought on by the physiological/psychological circumstances of the witnesses.
Pareidolia
In most instances, witnesses report seeing shadow people in the peripheral areas of their vision. This area of vision is linked to the areas of the brain that recognizes patterns, however it provides less detail to the brain than macular (center-forward) vision. This can lead to a condition known as pareidolia, in which the brain incorrectly interprets random patterns of light/shadow or texture as being familiar patterns such as faces and human forms. The same condition can also be observed in macular vision in low light conditions, or when viewing a complex but random image. A common example would be perceiving a shadow, thrown by an item of furniture in a darkened room, as being a person.
Hypnogogia
Also known as waking-sleep, hypnogogia is a documented physiological condition in which a person is part-way between sleeping and waking. During hypnogogia, a person can be conscious and aware of their environment, but also in a dream-like state where they can perceive images from their subconscious. People experiencing waking-sleep commonly report the sensation of lights or shadows moving around them, as well as other visual hallucinations. A feeling of dread is also a sensation that occurs when experiencing hypnogogia. Hypnogogia is sometimes known as 'the faces in the dark phenomenon' because those who experience this state commonly report seeing faces while experiencing waking-sleep. Similar hypothesis have been put forward linking this condition to a number of other apparent paranormal experiences, including alien abductions and paranormal nocturnal visitations.
Chemical agents
The use of narcotics and psychotropic agents, including methamphetamine and LSD, can produce shadow person-like hallucinations. Dopaminergic drugs such as pramipexole can sometimes cause these hallucinations. Common over-the-counter medication can also have a similar effect if taken in sufficient quantity (see diphenhydramine and pseudoephedrine).
Electromagnetic fields
Under the right conditions, electromagnetic fields can interfere with the functions of the temporal lobe; creating altered states of perception in which auditory and visual hallucinations can occur.
Using electromagnetic fields, researches have been able to recreate many of the experiences reported during paranormal encounters under laboratory conditions, including those of shadow people. Researchers have also documented correlations between variances in naturally-occurring magnetic fields and areas where paranormal events have been reported.
Neurological conditions
Certain neurological conditions, such as photosensitive complex partial seizures, have also been shown to cause sufferers to see shadow people.

I found this blog on a google search because a friend of mine and I have had several of the same dreams independently of one another. The most recent included the collapse of a bridge that looked very much like the Bunker Hill bridge in Boston.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, once I got here I started looking around and found this post, and my heart stopped. When I was very, very young (1-5 yrs old, before my parents' divorce) I used to see a shadowy figure come out of my closet and stand next to my bed. Shit. I can't stop crying. He had on a trench coat and a fedora! I tried to tell my parents, but they just told me it was nightmares. At the time I fully believed they were real and felt helpless because my parents wouldn't help me. My sister slept in the bed next to me. He never went to her, and I was paralyzed and couldn't get her attention when he came. I was terrified of him. I am so shaken up right now. I had convinced myself that it was a dream, but when I saw this entry, and when you said the shadowy figure had a trench coat and hat, I started to shake and cry uncontrollably. I don't know what to think now.
I have been in a similar situation also. My sister slept in the bed next to me and also never went to her. I also was paralyzed when I saw it but I wasn't scared at all. It told me things, many of which I can't remember but it was along the lines of 'you need to understand'. Then it touched me on the forehead, my body went cold and everything went dark, I felt like I was enclosed in something. Then I was back in my room and it was gone, but I could still hear its voice saying 'you didn't see, you must see'. I was back were I was but it wasn't dark, I was in a coffin and next to me was a small box with unusual carvings on it. That is all I remember.
DeleteI was 16 when this happened
Have you read Whitley Strieber's "Communion"? He has the exact same experience with the being touching his forehead with a wand and having visions.
DeleteThrough a strange series of events, "Communion" was placed into my hands. I read it and all of his other books on the subject this summer. Reading them, I began to remember a lot more unusual events and quell my fears, was able to see the face of the shadow man and yes there was a wand-like device involved. The box is interesting isn't it? Lately, the name Dolores Cannon has been emerging through a similar strange series of events, so I began reading her books. Many of the things I see and remember are being discussed in those books. It makes you shiver to hear someone else testifying to seeing the exact same things you have seen. P.S.-It's still Catherine, just changed my user name.
Deletestop crying and donot be scared. you have nothing to fear. this happened to me years ago, when i was in my early or late teens. i was sleeping on the couch in the living room. i was dreaming but i was also awake. i had 2 views, the 1st was me laying on the couch, inside my body, the second was me standing up watching myself sleep on the couch. for some reason i looked over to the cellar door and this shadow man appeared. he had the fedora and hat. calm down. donot b scared. my heart skipped a beat when i read the article. well, this shadow came over and began to choke me. literally. i began to gasp for breathe. for some reason-which i now know what it is-one thing came to mind. i said the name JESUS. I woke up immediately.
Deletethis also happened to me latter on in life, maybe last year. calm down. dont get scared.
i was in bed and i had a dream of me sleeping on a couch, again. i had a feeling that i was about to has the same expierience as b4. thats when my grandmother appeared. she had just died that year.
CALM DOWN!
My gmom walked over to me, but i knew this wasnt my gmom, the bible tells me so. i tried calling out JESUS but my words were broken up. no matter how hard i tried. and i couldnt move. i was paralyzed.
i woke up from that dream bcuz i think i did what the person in the article say they did; i thought JESUS.
GOD can not only hear our words, but our thoughts and our hearts. The HOLY SPIRIT helped me on both occassions and THAT'S WHY WE SHOULDNT B SCARED.
JESUS is the name above every name. every kneel shall bow to that name. and every demon cringes from it. so call on JESUS if that thing shows up again. repent and be baptised. ACTS 2:38
I have similar experience several times in my childhood and recently 4 years ago when I have surgery of my left eye and have to sleep in special contraction on my belly. This is my story.I had an experience with a dark furry figure when I was nine years old. I have a bad dream that a man with atop hat and a black cloak was in my house and I was swinging from the partition and he move close and with a long finger nail about a foot long stab me in my belly button I wake up in pain very scare and , in the dark, walk to my mother's room. I close my eyes because I was a fraid of what I will see. I was to the entrance of my mother room (we have no doors but curtains) and when I was stepping in I bump into a tall person I still didn't want to open my eyes. I felt this figure, with my hands, it was solid and firmly planted in the ground. I felt his chest and it was hairy like a bear. I felt his arms and they were cover in coarse fur It felt like claws on his hand and I could felt a hot breath coming and touching my face. In a moment of courage or stupidity I felt his face and when I came to the mouth and there were teeth very sharp sticking out so I scream and jump to my mother's bed bumping my head. Ten minutes later my brother scream and told my mother that he saw this hairy figure coming of her room. I prayed the little prayers from my childhood and fell asleep until morning. Jesus is not a magic word but all the demons tremble and fear when you called upon his name. Memorized Bible verses like Psalm 121 and 91 that will help when you are under demonic attack.
Deletedon't worry, I had a simular encounter, when I was a baby, I had something called pylorostenosis, Before I was taken to the hospital, I was already almost dead (lack of food and dehydration) I saw the shadow man, he was a tall man with a black cloak or coat, and a black fedora hat, he stood next to my crib and was glaring down at me, he did not look very friendly, and while I was in the car with my parents, I saw him again, right next to me, I could tell he wasn't an actual person, because my parents could not see him.
DeleteHi, im dave.
DeleteLast year something happened in my life that turned me to Christian and now I prayed everyday and night. It started in one particular night when I saw bright white light in my bedroom and suddenly 1 saw 2 very bright angels who tried their best to save me from demon. That demon covered with black silhouettes and closer look it a red devil with blood covered on his face and horns on his head and he is facing me and look at me. On my left I noticed that 2 angles protecting me had been injuired with blood on their body. And somehow I noticed a pure white light brighter than Sun is 45 degree above me, and suddenly I noticed someone behind me tag on my shoulder and all the sudden my soul went back to my body and I waked up. I know it is Jesus who saved me.
Other day I brought a bible and gave away to someone who is yet to become a Christian. That night when I was yet to sleep , I notice shadow figure standing beside my bed. and during that time I started to prayed hard to Jesus laying on my bed and keep praying. then suddenly, I notice my room blackout for few second and I heard something flying out of the window, After that my bedroom becomes brighter than before.
One thing I'm clear, is that if you feel disturb, dun hesitate, start praying to Jesus to protect you. That is how he saved me.
@Catherine Thank you for your comment and for sharing. Its important to me to know that someone is being moved by the things that I share. I understand much more now than I did at the time that I had the shadow man experience, and since that time I have had other experiences as well. What I have learned is we live in a world of many dimensions with other dimensional beings. This is what you encountered. As you can see, you are safe and you are protected. In time you will know the full meaning, even as you know more now. You are not the only one, and you are not alone. These beings want to interact with us but they are not allowed, they can only stand and watch. However, not everyone is so fortunate. You are blessed and extremely powerful. Much love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I've calmed down some. lol. There's been a development. A few days after I read this blog about the shadow person and being shaken up by a related childhood memory, I remembered a dream I had about a month ago. I've only recently connected the dots and seen the similarity.
ReplyDeleteI dreamed I was at my place of work, a school, and a giant blue-gray, triangular ufo flew over the school. The students and I ran outside. I found some military men who had some down and were trying to control "the situation." On the ground I saw an alien-type being that I have seen in many dreams. He's wrinkled like an old man, and he feels very familiar, like an old friend that I see once every few eons. He is lying on the ground; he's a prisoner of this military unit. The deal is, he was wearing a trench coat and a fedora! I didn't realize the similarity of this with my childhood experiences until a few days ago. It's so obvious; I feel quite foolish now. In the dream, I lead him through a university campus trying help him escape the military. This was very similar to another dream I had of the very same, familiar alien character in which, again, we were trying to hide from military on a university campus where the university had been militarized. Anyway, interesting connection, but I still don't know what the heck it all means.
Catherine, thank you for sharing your dreams. I am looking forward to analyzing it and doing a reading for you on it. I want to really get this one right for you. It may answer my own questions about extraterrestrials. Thanks again! Much love and many blessings!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the shadow man with the top hat myself, around the same time in 1992 or 1993. I was standing in my basement at home, I was by myself with my little dog. I was standing at the far end of the basement (meaning the stairs going up were on the other side). I was standing in the living room basement facing the entertainment center listening to music when suddenly I hear my dog start whining and I turn to look at the dog and wonder why its whining then the dog takes off running up the stairs, as I watch the dog go towards the stairs I see the shadow standing there exactly as the picture looks above and it looked like he was just staring at me. Its been 16 years and I remember it clearly. When I noticed him standing there I stared for a few seconds and then closed my eyes tight and opened them and he was gone. I then ran up the stairs and out the back door like my dog and we both did not enter back into the house until somebody was home. I always wondered what it meant or wanted.
ReplyDeleteI also have experienced seeing the shadow man, though not in a dream. Around 1992 or '93 I was standing in my basement. Nobody was home except me and my little dog. I was about 14 years old. The stairs going up were at the other end of the room. I was standing at the wall where the entertainment center was listening to music, and my dog was laying by my feet asleep. Suddenly my dog started whining and I look down at it and go back to what I was doing and then my dog keeps whining then takes off towards the stairs and runs up, as I watch the dog go I see the shadow man standing at the other end of the room closer to the stairs. At first I seen him peripherally but I turn my head fully and the figure was just standing there staring at me, I then shut my eyes tight and open them and he was gone. I felt very strange as if there still was a presence so I ran up the stairs and out the door just like my dog; we stayed outside until somebody got home. Its been 16 years and I remember it like it was yesterday. I don't know if it was the house I grew up in or if something actually followed me and my sisters but I have experienced almost the same exact experiences that Catherine had. I was exposed to many paranormal experiences as a child and became unafraid after I turned 7 years old because I became curious as to what may have been trying to contact me. Whats strange is that I have seen it seems both spirits and alien looking beings both in dreams and waking life. Whats even more strange is that after all of these years that have passed I now have been hearing about the shadow figure and aliens frequently recently. I must say that it is somewhat a comfort to know that I am not the only one who's experienced such odd instances. What does it all mean???
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing. check out my video on neuro theology at www.facebook.com/misscollier. it speaks of magnetic waves and earth frequencies. depending on the time of year, sometimes things slip through :)
ReplyDeleteI just found this blog right now by accident... I was just now driving home and right before a little cemetery here on the edge of town, I saw this 'hat-man' shadow guy walking across the street from a corn field into the cemetery... It was the most well defined black shadow Ive ever seen, it almost looked digital in some way.. then when I got home I wanted to show my husband what it looked like, that's when I googled black shadow man and found the pic at the top of your post... I've seen shadows, black and white for many years now but never this well defined... And I was fully awake, alert and sober :)
ReplyDeletePs-Sorry I'm posting as Anonymous, I don't have time to set up an account right now... Christina(ChrVds@Yahoo.com)
Thats awesome that you found me like that. Powerful experience, thanks for sharing!
DeleteOMG that picture almost made me sick with the terror that it invoked. I have had the very imagined burned into my head as long as I can remember. The imgaine of this man standing next to my bed with me unable to move or cry out is a dream I have had throughtout my life. I just had the dream a few nights ago. I am shaking as I write this. The only difference is the figure was more shaded less defined. Wow I feel for anyone else that see him...sorry everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Tamra! I am truly sorry to hear that the experience left you so shaken. I remember when I had the experience, I felt the same way. Although I was terrified in the moment because I couldn't move, I was no so shaken afterward. But the memory always haunted me. I guess that's why I created this page. I am more intrigued. These experiences have taught me to face my fears and take a harder look at what we call reality. In all my research, no one has been killed or harmed by a shadow person. So I think we're going to be okay ;) Thanks for sharing! Hugs!
DeleteSeeing this reminds me of a dream/memory from when i was a child i was in a pub with someone who i think was my friend when someone came through the door saying a child was missing we decided to look for ourselves next i know we are in an industrial area a collapsed bridge behind us like one of those main roads ones and we are looking around and we hear footsteps and we turn the corner and see him holding the missing little girl hes like pure black like the outline of a man but no definition hes draining something out of the girl like an energy we shout at him he looks up and his eyes like burning green he drops the girl we try to fight him but he brushes off my friend and knocks him to the floor i punch and kick him nothing works and then he grabs me and my last memory of that time is intense fear as i look into his eyes
ReplyDeleteLuke (Katoluke@gmail.com)
Wow, that sounds like it was an actual memory. Perhaps you were astral projecting/traveling? Interesting story indeed. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteWhen I saw the picture of the hat man It gave me chills. I too saw this image in my bedroom. I was a preteen at the time. It was standing in my doorway just looking at me. I knew I was fully awake when I saw it and I was so scared. I thought it was my dad or my brother at first but why would they stand in total darkness looking at me? I asked both of them the next day and they both denied being around my room. I remember this thing being tall and dark. It was darker then the rest of the house with the lights off. It had on a hat with a brim. I could not see any facial shapes or eyes. It just looked like a tall skinny man wearing a hat. I'm 36 now and I still have problems with darkness. I know that this image will never be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteWe often fear the things we dont understand. I think its important to remember none of us were hurt. We were all just really scared. I really appreciate your comment! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteI experienced a shadow man in my bedroom around twenty years ago with my first wife. Through the night I awoke and standing right next to my bed beside my head was a tall dark silhouette figure wearing a hat. My reaction was to roll over and pull the covers up over my head and go back to sleep. In the morning, having a cup of tea in bed, I mentioned to my partner that a strange thing happened - I started to tell the story and she stopped me and related what happened to her through the night. Exactly the same experience but on her side of the bed. Our respective hair stood on end! This was in a 18th century coach house that I lived in and always considered the person to be an old coach man perhaps - the hat? I also wondered if this was an experience of telepathy of a dream between each other. Looks like it was a shadow person - descriptions above are almost identical.
ReplyDeletethanks
@Stephen. Your encounter is absolutely astounding. I sense that your experience was real and that your recollection is from in between dream states. So you caught a snapshot of what was literally happening on the astral realm with your spirit eye. Your wife saw this too. The presence woke you both up. You were not dreaming. However, I have shared dreams with my significant other, where we both had extremely similar experiences. In my case, it was definitely a dream. In my dream his brother came onto me and I slapped him. In his dream I came onto his brother LOL! My sense is that I picked up on his insecurities and it played out completely different in my mind. Hope that experience made you laughed and help add perspective. Thanks for sharing! p.s. I heard your testimony before. Keep telling your story!
DeleteGoogle 'sleep paralysis'.
ReplyDeleteForgive me. I didn't see your post. Yes...sleep paralysis is often considered in situations like these. However its my knowledge of the subject in question and my ability to see the other side that I believe otherwise. I will go on to say that if it were simply sleep paralysis, then the topic can simply be dismissed. However, if we are having encounters with beings from another dimension, then that has a lot to say about the nature of our world and the universe. I truly appreciate your input! Thank you for sharing!
DeleteAs creepy as it sounds I didn't mind the shadow figure and wasn't frightened at all when I saw it. I saw it twice. One of those you wake up into another dream deals. Anyways, the first time i was sleeping at my fathers apartment when I got the feeling of a presence so I woke up, and looked to see who was around and as the description says the figure was jet black but still like a shadow with the coat and hat and moved slow until it got to the stairs. Figuring someone just broke into our house I was pissed and ran out after him, I even remember being self-conscious about running in my boxers outside, then as I look around I had friends from both of my parents area's there and this figure would come in and take some down and leave some. I thought he was killing them so I got really pissed and yelled "stop, come at me." Then I woke up again at my mothers house to see that same figure standing right within inches of the side of my bed looking at me, even though I couldn't see his eyes. I instantly threw off my covers and was getting ready to punch him and run. As I threw my covers off my body to get a good swing I was stopped mid way of a left hook. Then I got a complete sense of relief. And I live my life through the way I feel and everything about this feeling was right. I don't know exactly what was said but it was something like don't worry, you will be fine. As someone said before he reached down and touched my forehead. Then I finally awoke to reality and realized I was freezing because all my covers were thrown off just like the dream. This happened In my early teens as well and even though I am only 20 now all the friends that "died," aren't in my world anymore for many reasons. Now I don't know if it is coincidence or not, but there are definitely a lot of interesting similarities between stories. And for all those who just toss this stuff aside I've had another shadow figure wake me up before, on purpose, the night my grandfather died, and I lived with him from 4 to the day he died, pull me a long from my bed to the stairs and say to me "look I'm sorry but he has past and everyone who ment something to him is here, so I wanted you here, too." I visually remember my aunt, my uncle, my neighbor from down the road, and at least 14 other shadowy figures just standing around him. then the figure with me said, "Don't worry he is fine go up and don't worry about him." then I went back to bed. When I awoke the next morning, figuring it was just a dream, I ran downstairs in my school gear ready for school to figure out he really died. I also have another with my recent cousin being born, hundreds of miles away from me, and me shooting up from my sleep in my little rented in cottage in Michigan with the thought "a baby important to me is being born right, now" but since I smoke so much weed now-a-days the dreams are blurrier.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting experience. it amazes me how profound this experience is for all of us. i appreciate your comments!
DeleteRecently I was attacked by a bunch of hood rats (mugging), I was outnumbered and getting battered, during the event I calmly thought "is this how it ends?" I became dizzy n started to pass out, as I dropped I noticed that my assailants were kinda frozen and vibrating with a fearful expression on their faces, something grabbed me from behind and dragged me away with such velocity as I lost conciousness, when I came to I was across the road from the hospital, I looked around and saw a group of flat black flitting away along a wall, I looked around to determine if there were people but nobody was there.
ReplyDelete@Onires, I'm sorry to hear you suffered all of that. I have never heard anything like this before. This is the type event that one will never forget. My sense is that you were divinely protected. The shadow you saw was your 3D perception of the unexplainable. Surely you have some great work to do. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMyki Onires @ Miss Collier: I've never seen those shadow types since I was attacked by those thugs. I've always been into other worldly phenomena and had this pet theory of "shadow tools/ morphic objects" from a very young age and became extremely fascinated by these shadow beings after being supposedly rescued by them. Maybe they don't want to reveal their secrets directly. I always have odd dreams that I can't decypher through dream books, like you said I'm on some kind of path but I haven't worked it out yet.
ReplyDeleteI sense that the shadow world is another dimension that is meshing with ours. I understand that the astral realm is filled with many kinds of beings including shadow beings. I have heard of similar stories that portray the shadow man to be a guardian type.
DeleteRecently my three year old son has become afraid of the bathroom in our home because he says he sees a man with red eyes in the shower, watching him. This remindes me of some of my own experiences that I had as a kid and so I got online trying to find some information and came across this blog. What I saw was a bit different from what my son described but both led me to shadow people. When I was a teenager we moved into a new house. Over the years I experienced different things in that house that have always stuck with me. One night in particular I had fallen asleep in bed and awoke to a shadow of a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat standing in a corner of my bedroom, watching me. I had been having horrible nightmares several nights before this of a man in a wide-brimmed hat murdering a very young girl. These nightmares, which seemed so realistic, were also being had by my sister on the same nights. Suddenly I realized that I was not in my body, but floating in the room. This felt more real to me than any dream Ive ever had. I zoomed from one corner of the room to another but I was on the ceiling looking down. The man seemed to sort of chase me but it was like a cat with a mouse. I felt like he could have gotten me at any time but was playing with me instead. I dont remember seeing facial features exactly but somehow he seemed to be laughing in a menacing way...he radiated evil and scared the hell out of me. I also had never been out of my body before which also scared me and I quickly wanted back in. I remember feeling like the man was trying to pull me away from my body and I was literally clawing my way back in. As soon as I entered my body again I shot up in bed, pouring sweat, sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. That night terrified me and ten years later I can say Ive never felt that kind of fear since. Later I was told that I may have astro projected, something I had never heard of before. Now my son sees a shadow man with red eyes in our bathroom and wont go in there unless someone is with him. I dont want him to be scared in his own home and am trying to figure out what it is exactly and how to get rid of it. Telling it to go away, smudging the house and praying out loud hasnt helped. Ive also noticed that as soon as midnight hits my dogs act very strange and theres an overwhelming feeling like someone is watching me. any imformation about all this would be helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for sharing. This experience is very intriguing. I'd like to look into it more fully. Please allow me to come back to you. Thank you again!
DeleteThis is amazing...For 30 plus years , I've wondered what it was.. My mom dies when I was 3, I was raised by my grandmother. We lived in the country, just the 2 of us. We were poor, but I was a teenager before I realized it. One day I got so fed up with being poor and seeing rich people on tv,and after watching a old black and white devil movie, that I said, I'll sell my soul to the devil for a million dollars'. lol. Forgetting all about it, I went to bed that night and woke up to this shadow man, with hat and coat, standing beside my bed on the left side. I immediately jumped out bed and ran across the hall and jumped in bed with my grandmother. I was about 15 or 16. Here's the twist...When I jumped into my granmothers bed, she didn't jump or get excited. She simply put the covers over me and said, 'that's what you get for playing with the devil'. Like she saw hinm too. To this day I think that freaks me out more than the shadow. This is a woman who carried a pistol everyday, just because. Very alert and confident. I have never seen it again, but I kind of want to. It scared me then but now I'm older and wiser to this universe and I have some questions for it..Some have said it was her, but theres no way. Others have always said I'm protected and gifted. Even finding this site has fallen perfectly in place. I've always thought it was just my experience. You're right anonymous, I believe it's a path as well, and so far a very good one.
ReplyDeleteLOL, thank God for grandmas. Thank you for sharing your experience. It means a lot to me that all of you have come here to share.
DeleteOh, one of my friends said, maybe I should be wondering what It may have did to me before I woke and saw him there. If anything , I think it was good.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! You know, after contemplating the whole situation, this has clearly been going on for quite awhile and is a quite common experience. No one has been harmed, and no need to be alarmed. I cannot say whether the nature of the beings are good or evil, surely the fear is more from shock.
DeleteI believe if it or they wanted to hurt us , it would already be done.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%.
DeleteWhat does it mean if u dream of a shadow like man ???
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question. I really think it is an individual experience. I have noticed in my own life, these type of experiences seemed to occur when I was sharing a home with someone else. I have never had a paranormal experience while living alone.
DeleteThis happened to me when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI saw him at the end of our hallway.
Most of the people I talk to personally have acknowledged having this experience. It is quite common. Thanks for your comment!
DeleteWhen I was a child I dont know if it was a dream or real, but I was laying in bed, and a shadow of a person stood over me from my left. He began talking in a different language I didnt understand. I couldn't scream, I couldn't breath, or move. All I could do is look at it or the ceiling only with my eyes. In my mind I knew it would be bad if he finished what ever he was saying to me. I think he was interrupted because he vanished and I could instantly breath again. I jumped out of bed like it wasnt a dream. Now i'm 34 and last week I had a similer dream. I was sleeping in the living room on the floor, and I heard someone break into my car. Then I heard the garage door open. I looked torward the kitchen were the garage door to the house is and I saw him come in and stand by the door. I was afraid for my wife and I didnt want him to reach us so i made the effort to go to him. For one second I could feel the switch from dream to reality and I was facing the same direction. I still felt panicked, the shadow was gone but I went to the garage and made sure no one was there. The time I think was around 02:50 to 3:00 in the morning. I know no one broke in because we live in military housing. Its weird that something from when I was a child has come back. Its like a bad omen.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous your experience was very powerful and vivid. When u mentioned the military I felt led to tell you to look into spiritual protection for your family and home.

DeleteI just came across this out of curiosity as to weather others have seen the same shadow man, as I have called him for years. First time I had seen him was when I was living at my mothers home, I was about 14 years old. Second time was at my aunts house while staying the night there when I was about 18. Most recently,a few times, in my apartment now as I am 23 with my fiance who is 24 and our newborn baby girl. When I first saw him he was a tall completely black figure which you could tell was a male with a top hat. At first I was terrified and just rolled over closed my eyes and fell back to sleep. I could not scream for my mother or jump out of bed to go down stairs the first time. Now I see him and just try to ignore him. I have woke my fiance up to see him a couple times. He just stands there and stares. I'm not as afraid of him as I use to be but it is a little un-nerving to know that so many others have seen and experienced the EXACT same thing as myself. I know I'm not sleeping since I have to make myself fall asleep and the fact that I have work my fiance up just to see it. Also not hallucinating since my fiance has seen him standing there as well when I woke him up and even when he sees him but doesn't wake me up so I don't freak out. Just chilling. Thanks for posting!
