Hello one and all.

Hello all you bright eyed, lovely people on this website.

I’m just writing this thread to introduce myself a little and to say that I have spent many enjoyable hours over the years perusing the wealth of information presented here.

The world is one hell of a strange place to be alive and like you all, I would rather spend time trying to figure it all out rather than sit back, drink a beer and watch the footy, or whatever.

When I was a young kid I regularly had night terrors (about once a week).
I would wake up in a cold sweat, with the sound of my blood pulsing around my head and a feeling of increased pressure in my entire body.

One night I woke to a strange and frightening sight… I usually slept with the door slightly open to let some of the light in from the landing which was red, because my folks thought it fashionable to have a red light shade (this was the early eighties after all).
so I woke up as usual but as soon as I did I saw a shadow being cast on the wall in my room and I was paralysed with fear, I couldn’t take my eyes off the thing, which I can only describe as a classic Witch silhouette.
I lay there for hours just staring at it until I couldn't stay awake any longer and just nodded off.

I know this is most probably a trick of the mind…or my parents for that matter! but I never had another night terror after that and I suppose that is part of what set me on the course I’m on.

Anyhow I hope you enjoyed the story.

Be excellent to one another.

Hello and welcome.

(Hi Bob!)

Don't know where everyone is...I'm not supposed to be here right now.

There are lots of threads on shadow people and such. I was looking for one I am familiar with and had hoped to give you a link. But you can go to that little search thing that looks like a magnifying glass and enter a search on this or just about anything.

Enjoy your time here. This place is full of surprises.

Hi Clownfish, thanks for taking the time to reply and you 1984hasarrived, I totally agree by the way!

I'll check out the shadow people thing for sure, its not really my main reason for being here, its just a memory that stayed with me over the years which I thought I would share.

Welcome to ATS

To the thread maker this is a bit of a stretch to some more 'conventional' thinkers. But i have some reason to believe most 'shadow people' are in fact what most humans would describe as eldritch creatures. I use the term 'eldritch' simply because most eccentrics know what it refers to. Chaotic creatures that do what they want. However humans have high difficulty making out their standard form. So they look like to humans as distorted shadows. Some attack humans, some scare the crap out of them others just watch. Some see the same creature their whole life, others see it once and it never appears again. Much like what happened to you.

interesting stuff, thanks for your reply mate.

Our 5 senses only give us a very small glimpse of a rather large reality, I think we need to study the unseen, untouchable and unmeasurable to get a better understanding of whats going on.
