I think you are all describing variations of what ghost or paranormal hunters call "shades" or "shadow figures".
They come in odd shapes and sizes and they are not always in human form. As the reports from the ghost hunting societies and clubs go, these things
are more often squat or short, somewhere between 3-4 feet in height, and briefly make their presence known by moving across walls, through doorways,
and sometimes replicating the movement of a dwarf human figure.
I saw one back in 1993 and so did my dog. I knew it was in the house and felt it at the top of the stairs - the dog went to look before I did and it
clearly was looking at a living entity at the top of the steps. With a hunch that some sort of entity was in the house I ran to the bottom of the
steps to see what the dog was looking at. There was what is best described as a thin, black and semi-transparent dwarf figure that was human in form,
about 3 feet tall, but shaped like a piece of oragami in that it looked like thin paper had been folded in various was to resemble a semi-human form.
It saw me, and in lighting speed flitted down the hallway to a back room. I chased it calling out that I knew it was in the house and that I
commanded it to get out. Of course, when you chase them you can't catch them anyway and they always dart around the corner or through a wall or up
across a wall and then disappear.
I believe these are intelligent spirit entities of some kind that will remain a deep mystery. They seem to co-habitate with other spirits that appear
or interact differently so there tends to be more than one or different types of these so called "ghosts" paired or clustered in haunted places.
Much research indicates these things have been seen as far back as ancient times BC and AD.
