Three black silhouettes appeared to me & said, "We are now, but someday, you'll be.".

Thant must have been very scary. Thanx for sharing. I will read the rest of the thread now. Have you or your brother ever seen it again?

Its like i know i have had an important encounter with them but somethings removed my memory of it. i had a talk with somebody an hour ago and we suspect maybe angels are beings of light that come from another dimension and demons are beings of darkness and that at a certain age when people are more perceptive to it these beings of light contact alot of people and try to help them see the bigger picture and that the beings of darkness tamper with those memories in order to keep us ignorant and easily controlled.

now im not a religious man but im willing to believe that their are other dimensions and other life forms so i wouldnt be surprised to find out beings of light and beings of dark exist. maybe we exist somewhere in the middle.....

ive thought about it long and hard and i remember only a few small details about the memory i seem to have lost and thats that the source of light seemed to be a large sphere of light and these small frail looking beings seemed to be coming out of it. it was so bright it should have blinded me but it didnt it was light but it was.... different.

thats as far as i can remember so i cant tell you a thing about the beings aside from the fact they were as small and skinny as 'grays' seem to be according to witnesses but their heads werent as large. the light was simply too bright to see anything but their shape. and they definitely werent aliens i dont know how but i know for sure they werent

But do you remember any encounter with the darkness? Do you believe they have distorted your memory of the light beings w/o your knowledge?
You say you remember "branchless trees", could they actually have been doorways then? Where do you think the dark beings enter our world?

Thanx HuntaXX!

2PacSade-

All i know is i have this instinct this feeling that they were involved somehow. made even harder by the fact they seem to be the hardest occult phenomena to get solid facts on. also a few of my friends and family had encounters with these beings around the same time. none of them will even talk about it they all have this irrational fear exept for my uncle who described waking up being held down by one (he said it was like this great weight on his entire body and he couldnt even move a muscle) and having this great feeling of coldness and something being drained out of him

first read for me (just page 1, didn't bother to read the rest)

didn't have experiences like that and i really don't have a clue what or who those beings could be.

but,in general i suggest you take a different aproach on this whole matter; put aside what those shadows could be and concentrate on yourself. those shadows are not some random aparitions, they were there to give you a message. figure out what that message means by analysing everything regarding the event, especially the date. try to find out what happened on that date in the past and after the event (regarding you and the ones close to you).
i hope this helps.

Yes, my contact has infact grown while my brothers has diminished, though the experience stands out in both our memories.

What your uncle experienced sounds very much like sleep paralysis. I'm not saying it was, but just a thought. Here is a short description. Check out the page on hypnagogic hallucinations. It's quite interesting.

I had this happen to me one time. It was really scary to wake up, but not be able to move because of the weight. I started thinking that I was awake inside another dream. ( Have you ever had that happen? ) Finally I was able to move my arms, and the rest of my body followed suit. I was really scared & wondered if it was produced from something trying to hurt me, but the feeling was much different than what I still feel about the night I was visited. I was able to basically forget about it until one day I saw a documentary on sleep paralysis, and I knew in an instant, that's what happened to me. Deep in my heart I could feel it was nothing more than that.

I was just wondering. . . If no one talks about them, then how do you know other family members besides your uncle have had experiences? Is it one of those, " Ya I saw something like that. . . But I don't wanna talk about it. . .". Just wondering how you know. . .

It's too bad we're all programed not to talk about such things with eachother. We're all afraid that everybody's gonna think we're nuts! You & your family obviously have information about similar events. If you could all share this information some may conclude that nothing really happened to them, and it was probably just a residual from Aunt Edna's pot roast. . . Too bad isn't it? I have felt the same way about my situation, and haven't really shared it with anyone until now.

I often wonder if I will ever find out anything further about my experience. Obviously I'm torn between gaining knowledge & closure, and never seeing those entities ever again. I have spent many nights, ( and even daylight hours ), looking for them in shadows, etc..

The only thing I will NEVER do is to ask them to come back & tell me more. I just don't think it would be a good idea to invite them into my existance. . . Thanx for sharing HuntaXX.

Thanx for the thoughts ellroy. Yes I have tried that approach. I mentioned earilier on that I did realize this;

One thing I thought of a few years back when I was thinking about this event was the fact that I was a Catholic at the time, and I was seven. I made my first holy communion that year & both events happened in the spring. I can't honestly remember which came first, but I know they both were around April-May of 1970. The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup around the same time. I remember it happened during the playoffs.

Could the fact that I was seven, not being exempt from "original sin" any longer per my religious beliefs at the time, in concert with first holy communion, have been the purpose of the visit? I don't know, just a thought I had. All those things happening at the same time. . .

( All except the Bruins thing cuz they had one bad ass hockey team that year! )

Other than that I haven't thought of anything else, but I could be missing something. Thanx for your concern ellroy!

2PacSade-

ok, then nothing stands out in 1970 (except the incident).

and to be honest, i doubt that your holy communion has anything to do with it. unless you were too excited (fever due to stress) about it and hallucinated (just my opinion and i'm agnostic. i see mass religions as control bussiness, nothing supernatural about it).

what about 1971.-2006. or ????.-1970.?
did anything unusal happen on that day or around that day in the years after (it was a prophecy of some kind?) or in the past (maybe connected to your ancestors?) ?

I can't remember the exact day, and I don't know how I would ever be able to find that information out. My birthday is in the same timeframe, but I know it wasn't that date. Nothing else of any significance has ever come to mind.

2PacSade-

ah well, i gave it a shot

guess you would have remembered if anything significant happened.

No problem. Thanx for your thoughts. I haven't to this point been able to figure this out so all are welcome. . . Iyou think of anything else please feel free.

2PacSade-

Yes im aware of sleep paralysis though i doubt he would have seen a shadow on him and been drained like that. no ive never experianced it myself. people will admit they have seen these beings but wont go into detail becoming more nervous and scared the further i dig. i havnt recovered my memory but i did learn something even bigger about the world recently that i believe explains the whole thing. i wish i could share it with you but without seeing some things for yourself its impossible to believe. thank you all for your imput im putting this matter to rest for myself. goodluck solving your problem

Alright my friend. Here is my question. I want to ONLY know about this particular variety of Shadow person. This one moves at blinding speed. It is seen form the corner of the eyes. When you turn to look it vanishes. Appears male only. Sometimes you can surprise it and watch it headon. I think it is because it does not realize it is not visible.
This particular variety of shadow person is the one I want to know about. Now what do i want toknow about it? Just one thing?
Is this variety of shadow person, a malevolent ghost of a dead person, possibly unnaturally killed or murdered, and refuses to move on to the next world???? So it is just this specific question I am seeking an answer for.

My parents have told me that when I was 3-4 I had a friend who at the time I described as a tall shadow figure. even in a brightly lit room I apparently would sit around talking to this imaginary shadow... maybe it was merely an imaginary friend.. maybe not.. I can remember most of my childhood pretty well and I have no memory of any such shadow entity..

interesting....

Hi 2PacSade,

What a great topic. I'm going to take a different angle on this one, though.

When I hear " We are now, but someday you'll be...", it sounds like they are answering a question. I know you were only 4 years old, but perhaps this has something to do with a past life. Most kids remember past lives until they are 5 or 6. Do you thinks it's possible you might have asked them something?

Not to get too ridiculous here (if that's possible at this point), but have you ever considered doing a past-life regression or some type of hypnosis session? Maybe you could find some answers there.

I don't feel like anything is out to get you. You would be much more powerful than they are. We come from divine creation and I believe we are more powerful than any dark shadows that creep through our bedrooms. Remember the rule of 'fear'. Fear is energy just like everything else. If a bully picks on you in a schoolyard, he knows you're afraid, he's attracted to you - and he uses your fear against you...just like they would. Once you conquer your fear they have nothing to use. That's why good always defeats evil. Plain and simple.

I'm pretty surprised - and a little disappointed - that this thread has got to be 5 pages long with no mention of the De Tribus Regibus Mortuis or even the general theme of 'The Three Living and the Three Dead' which is a fantastically common mediaeval theme.

A group of aristocratic figures, often hunting (sometimes on horseback, sometimes with birds of prey) meet upon three animated corpses. The revenants - who appear to be the future corpses of the three hunters - give the stark warning: "Such as I was you are, and such as I am you will be. Wealth, honor and power are of no value at the hour of your death". Basically, a warning that materialism will get you nowhere as you can't take it with you in the end, anyway.

This itself is part of a broader mediaeval morality genre where figures of the dead are used as reminders as to how death is a great leveller and kings and beggars alike are the same in death. Variations of 'The Three Living and the Three Dead' have the hunting party representing different social classes as do larger renderings relating to the Danse Macabre.

I don't see this kind of historical precedent as being proof of shadow people or the claim that shadow people have specifically used a variation of the phrase. Instead, assuming the OP wasn't trolling or fantasising, that this is merely part of a continuum in the same way that Jacques Vallee proposes much of the 'alien' phenomenon is part of the fairy or elven continuum.

Although, that said, I'm pretty doubtful that the scenes depicted in the 'The Three Living and the Three Dead' actually happened. They were all merely lessons at a time when life was fantastically hard, plague and disease was all around and the division between rich and poor much, much greater than we see now. Ultimately a warning to the rich and succour for the poor.

I dont know if you even come to these forums anymore but I hope so. I had a experience that was very similar when i was ... mmm.. maybe 8 or 9 years old. I was lying in the bed asleep and my mom was asleep next to me, I woke up because I felt something touching the side of my calf very gently. I'd been feeling the tapping for a while, at first I thought it was a roach or something so I moved my leg hoping to scare it off, it stopped and I fell immediately back to sleep. I woke up again feeling the exact same very gentle tapping, tried to ignore it again and feel asleep. Finally after a while of feeling the tapping and waking up I was getting angry and decided to open my eyes to look for the damn roach but instead I saw 3 dark figures at the left foot of my bed. Its how u described them... dark figures, appearing to be wearing hoods, couldnt actually see their face or any facial features just a shadow, yet i could tell that all 3 of them had their heads slightly turned to face me. At first I thought i was dreaming so i was blinking my eyes but they were still there. I was terrified! I was afraid to move, i was poking my mom who was laying next to me, hoping she'd wake up or move and scare them away.. she did nothing which isnt really rare since she was the world deepest sleeper lol. I wanted to run but my only 2 options were a.) jump over my mom and run out the door leaving her alone with them and theyd probably grab my leg as i tried to get away since they were right by my feet. OR b.) get up, knock them over, run around the bed, and out the door.. still leaving my mom alone with them.. while i got help from someone that would actually wake up. Neither option seemed that great to me so i did what my stupid 8 or 9 year old self considered "cunning" .. i pretended i wasnt bothered at all by them and closed my eyes pretending to go back to sleep lmao. crazy right?!?! well it didnt end there because they werent convinced (i apparently wasnt a convincing actress, dakota fanning i was not), i felt the tapping on my calf again shortly after i faked falling back asleep, and this time i tried acting like i was upset at being woken (still not opening my eyes) but making a angry 'leave me alone mom i dont wanna wake up yet' face. they still werent convinced and now along with the tapping on my calf i was hearing what i can only describe as .... jeez i dunno.. talk whispering. you know like if u ever were faking like u were whispering a secret in someones ears.. like that. i couldnt make out what the whispers were saying though. i finally opened my eyes and they were looking back and forth at each other and then at me whisper talking to each other and then it seemed like they were directing it to me.. like i should know what they were saying and like i should answer them. this went on for HOURS.. my mom never moved or woke up. Id act like i thought i MUST be dreaming and close my eyes. theyd tap me trying to get me to wake up or stop pretending like i was sleeping. after a while i wasnt really even scared of them anymore because i figured if they wanted to hurt me, they wouldve done it by then.. i mean i was still scared because theres 3 creepy beings in my room clearly interested in me, but i didnt fear any harm from them. but after a while of playing the 'pretending im sleeping, being woken up to them tapping me' game.. i did actually finally fall asleep. that sounds so weird.. how could i have ever fell asleep right? lol. but i did. i woke up in the morning.. didnt tell a soul what happened cuz i didnt think anyone would believe me. they never came back again.

oh i forgot to mention.. i had the feeling they were very authoritive, like 'we're here for a reason'. i dont know if that makes sense or if u got that vibe also. but anyways.. if youre still around and have learned anything, please let me know. i dont believe its shadow people because ive seen them before.. way different "vibe".
