Recently I've learned of Shadow People it's a term used to describe shadows or that can look like people or a black blob some people say they're spirits, demons, or even beings from an alternate dimension. Interesting stuff to say the least, I'd like to post my own experience just for some peace of mind and also to hear of any opinions on the matter. Also I wasn't entirely certain where this post should go so I'm sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.
My earliest memory of 'it' is from when I was in elementary school I want to say I was about five or six maybe even seven. Anyway I've always called it the Black Figure that's just my little name for it because that's what it looks like a person in all black even the head just a...well black figure. At my old elementary school the playground was right beside the auditorium and it was enormous and whenever I was outside playing sometimes I would look up and see the Black Figure standing on the rooftop, in broad daylight by the way. I even the teachers about it one day because I thought it odd that someone would be up there and they said it was impossible to get onto the auditorium roof there's no stairs or anything leading up there. I didn't say anything to anybody about it because I realized no one else saw it but me and I didn't want to seem...well crazy.
Over the past few years I've still seen the Black Figure sometimes on and off I'll go months without seeing it and then sometimes it's quite frequent I guess I should pay attention to my mood or the seasons or something and see if there's a connection to why he appears at certain times. Also whenever I see it, the Black Figure is always on rooftops I've very rarely ever seen it on the ground even at a distance. Like coming in or out of Walmart sometimes I'll see it up there looking down or even on top of my house, sometimes it'll look like it's sitting down on my rooftop just looking down at me, watching.
There are some similarities in stories told from other people with my own like the age of the people who experience this or the places they're at. For example there's accounts of people who have very, extremely vivid dreams something like ASP? They're literally in between sleep and being awake and their shadow person is watching them sleep, they'll say they can't breathe, or move, or talk. The same thing happened to me when I was in high school only it wasn't the black figure it was more like a...black mass or blob like a small black mist only you couldn't see through it just solid black and it probably wasn't any higher than my knees. But I would feel like I was awake and I would be looking down at the foot of my bed and the mass would be there and I couldn't move, scream, I could hardly breathe and then all of a sudden it would quite and I would wake up. That only happened to me two or three times the last time it ever happened I fell off my bed and I asked it what it wanted it immediately quit and I woke up and have not seen the blob since. I assume the mass and black figure and not the same because the black figure has never tried to hurt me it just watches and always from a distance on rooftops out of reach even.
Actually here lately it hasn't been all that far away sometimes when I'm sitting outside on my porch there will be this sound from overhead and I'll just know it's the Black Figure I can't see it but I know he's there. Like he enjoys being nearer to me but still out of reach, I don't mind him I just think of him as a spirit and from what I gather about Shadow People is that some of them just like to 'watch' and I think since I've acknowledged it it's become more open?
Except for a few nights ago, I was sleeping at my great grandmother's house in the back bedroom and it was late at night I rolled over and pulled the covers completely over my head which is rare for me to do since I was little. There's also a night light too so I can sort of see through the covers all of a sudden there's a dark shadow looming right over me and I can sort of see it through the covers because of the night light. I was filled with such an overwhelming terror I have hardly ever felt before I could barely breathe this shadow over me just terrified me so and what added to it was that it TOUCHED me it poked me in my left thigh. I began to breathe very heavily like panting and then the shadow went down my bed towards my feet out of sight. Then I woke up...I didn't even realized I was dreaming till I woke up that's how real it felt but what was really unnerving was that I was in the exact same position I was before I woke up but the covers were down. I was very tempted to pull the covers over me but the thought occurred to me it might happen again so I left them down.
I'm not certain if it was the black figure of the blob or something else but I realized in the morning that it didn't actually hurt me it's never hurt me just terrified the $hit out of me but that might just be me not understanding it. I think maybe it was curious and it might not realize the effect it has I don't want to under estimate it or anything but still...advice I've read about shadow people say that when you stand up to it and fight show your not afraid they usually leave you alone. I believe it since my little black mass incident back in high school.
There was another night I stayed over at my grandmothers house only this time it was back when I was sleeping with a teddy bear (So what I sleep with a teddy bear made me feel better I know I'm 22 but it's cute and soft and I like him.) it was in the middle of the night and suddenly I was afraid again. Not terrified like before just scared so I shut my eyes and hoped I'd fall back asleep or it would go away. Nope, it pulled the covers off-completely- slowly until I was completely exposed I just remained still with my eyes closed like I was sleeping then I felt something grab my teddy bear by the foot slowly tugging it down out of my grip. That' when I got mad and I said, "If you take my teddy bear you and I are going to go round and round." Yes I literally said that and it quit tugging my teddy bear and left me alone then I woke up. Like before I didn't realize I was dreaming till I woke up.
I know I've wrote a lot but this was more for myself therapy of sort and I wanted to tell my experience or story before I went to bed, yes I'm writing this at night hoping I don't have another encounter...watch me have one now.
Does anyone have any similar experiences, advise or questions? Like maybe ideas or theories about why the Black Figure likes roof tops so much? Thanks so much.
