This is going to sound odd but at about 1am 2 days ago I went outside to smoke a cigar and relax after a busy day and felt a weird sensation and apparently just blacked out.
I did have two light beers that day but was not feeling intoxicated.
I regained consciousness on the grass in the middle of my yard only for my wife to notice I received two 2-3 inch long burns on my neck in the shape of scratches and a similarly shaped bruise on my shoulder.
I didn't want people to think I'm crazy but your story forced me to spill the beans haha.
The burns still hurt and itch in the same way as if you had a warm fire poker rubbed against your skin but not overly so.
It was a strange experience and have considered every theory but there are too many possibilities.
I also saw a similar supposed "shadow person" around the age of 7 years old while getting ready to take a shower for school. The shower was located in the basement and I saw a figure move in the corner before turning on the lights, there were no windows in the room either.
That was freaky, may have imagined it but who knows?

I refer to these as Wraiths. Though I don't believe seeing them is limited to just before or after their passing
I've seen a wraith in my driveway, standing under the street light at the front gate to my house at night as if they were waiting for me. It was the unmistakable silhouette of a man standing at my gate. No way it was shadow, as it was directly under the street lamp. The hairs on my neck and body stood up, and I started walking down the driveway (about 20 metres away) to get a closer look. As I got closer, I clearly saw it turn it's head from looking over my fence, to look down my street, then start walking away. I ran to the fence, but it had walked out of the street lamp into the darkness, so it was impossible to see
I've had many encounters with wraiths like this over the years. It's not just humans you see, it's animals too
It has something to do with cycles of time. I believe this is often why wraiths are seen just before or after someone passes
It's a echo of a physical being that was either there at some stage in the past, or will be there at some stage in the future
The perspective isn't always perfect though. They could be walking up the stairs, but appear to walk into a wall. This is to do with the transit of the planets relative to the stars. They are in a echo of a relative alignment
Think of them like "time shadows"
Respectfully to those who suggested it; forget thinking about things like this in terms of "good and evil". This is a trap of your own creation, for your own mind
I assure you, there is no such thing as true evil. Only perceived evil
It is empowered by how you see it
I've seen and dealt with some of the worst entities and "supernatural" things you could possibly ever deal with. In this world and beyond. Alive and dead. I've seen things that I can't begin to understand how to explain, and you probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I've met all forms of what would/could be referred to as the Christian devil, first hand
Baphomet sitting on a throne of human corpses, and his pet dog, made of pure fire. Baphomet as a goat. I say these two were Baphomet, because they literally identified themselves to me. Trying to scare me. Right before I exploded with rage and tried to destroy them both, which returned me to my own body. Baphomet is very literally the personification and empowerment of fear. It's literally what the name means. If you are afraid of that which names itself, it is empowered by the name. If you see it as a pathetic joke, it is, and it has no power
In my case, when something called Baphomet tried to get his dog made of fire to attack me for mocking him on his bloody throne and laughing at him, I've never raged so hard in my life, I ran straight at the fire dog, screaming, intending to rip it apart with my bare hands. When I did, I was pulled into the sky and levitated by invisible electrical bonds, which pulled my arms and legs out and stopped me from moving. And when I woke up I had full chakra activation. It feels like a massive electrical pulse coursing up and down your spine from your head to your tailbone, then back up, then back down, like the lights on the front of night-riders car. Almost like being plugged into a power socket
The other time, the "goat" Baphomet attacked me while awake, meditating. He tried to look me in the eyes and it made me as angry as I've ever been in my life. When whatever "it" was kept trying to attack me even after I opened my eyes, it felt like I exploded with rage. Like fire overtook my body and tried to "eat" him. Afterwards, when it was gone, it felt like my body was covered in invisible flames. I could literally see the glimmering of fire coursing through me and over me in waves. Emotionally, I was stuck in a state between anger and pleasure. Like the waves of flame felt pleasurable. The most amazing part of this experience was that I could close my eyes and still see. I was wide awake. But when I closed my eyes, and moved my arms in front of my face, I could clearly see them outlined in flames. Like they were on fire
Though meditation, dreams and various types of remote-viewing and "out of body" experience I've seen all sorts of creatures, aliens, worlds, sub-dimensions and pre-effygian realms. I've been attacked, probed, operated on, tortured and killed, over and over ... In places "other" than this world, attached to other forms and bodies
I've seen history and cross-over worlds and dimensions "remote viewing" where I've literally been able to consciously take control of the person I'm viewing through, to ask people I see things like "where" and "when" I am
I've experienced (touch, see, taste, smell, emotion, everything) some worlds, realms and even deaths so horrible, that they leave me feeling traumatised when I return to my physical body. I wake up and I can still feel what happened in my body. In one I was stabbed through the chest by a sword and when I woke up, I still felt the sword like it was in my real physical body. I could still feel the pain and I could still taste the steel in the back of my throat
My point is ...
Something I've learned by confronting and challenging the darkest of all there is out there (most of which seem to want to push me towards the Christian God) Is that true evil doesn't exit
There is no evil, only pain
And the actions of those in pain
Anything living has the ability to do bad things, but it isn't inherent evil
If you think in terms of evil, you close your eyes to the source. It's a way of disassociating pain, or the influence of pain
Don't be afraid of any type of phenomenon you see like this. Try to understand it
Religion can't help you understand or deal with the truly dark things in this world, it can only give you a way to disassociate
This isn't the path that is intended
Imagine being left out in the cold, and the entire world wants nothing more than to cut you off
If there is a chance there is some type of soul or intelligence there to be found, or something to be understood that we don't today understand, we need to by duty of who we are, pursue and meet it
No matter how bad, painful or traumatic it is to pass through/over to where it is, to do so
It's our duty to understand ourselves and our world
Don't allow yourself to be afraid of anything
My advice is, if you are afraid of it, it's more reason to do it
More importantly, don't allow the fear of others, to influence your ability to do, and go, where they can't, or won't
Through all I've been through, I've been shown the centre of the Universe, and things too beautiful to put into words or even begin to describe
I've sat upon mountain tops in worlds far bigger than Earth. Impossibly high mountains, you wouldn't find anywhere on Earth. I've sailed down rivers next to sparkling cities which don't exist here on Earth. All in vivid detail, as if I were awake and really there to experience it
So, so much. So, so many amazing and beautiful things. So much I've been taught and shown. And I would never have learned, known, seen, touched, tasted, felt or experienced any of it, if I closed myself off because of the darkness along the way

I don't if the T&Cs have changed, yeah I should read them I know, but I once did something that kept me up for four days and on the fourth day me and a friend walked out his apartment building and were going across the street to the store when I saw a human shaped shadow peek around the tree at me.
I stopped, gave my friend cash, told him what I wanted and went back to his apartment. After drinking the soda and eating the chips he got me I went to sleep.
Point is I believe shadow people are real and that you saw one.
By chance had you been awake for more than normal?
Christ is the only way.
