So other than seeing the shadow people, What exactly did you experience? Voices? Noises around the house? Objects moving?
A year ago I had this weird dreams some demon was trying to possess me but it was unsuccessful. It kept coming back and back but once actually managed to get inside me but only for a couple of seconds (In a dream or something.....Just a blurry memory) and I remember waking up to a sensation of something leaving my body sort of like an regaining control of your body after an OBE. I thought it would return and I thought I was possessed but it seems it couldn't handle me?

I used to have night terrors, but i dont know if you can describe them as such....
I would wake up from a deep sleep in another world that looks exactly like mine but dark... the more i gave into the sensation the harder it became to escape it.
I still have them to this day, but I can focus and escape them... before I could not...
Its a feeling I hope people never have to experience.

If it's not some sort of haunting, I would say you suffer from a fairly simple sleep disorder. Night terrors are a result of stress, true, but it's actually the brain skipping the REM stage of sleep. I would try to set an alarm for approximately 50 minutes after you fall asleep. Have it close enough so you can hit the off button without getting up. When you wake your brain right before the "skip" in your sleep pattern, it can continue on to the REM sleep that you're missing. Taking a benadryl before bed wouldn't hurt either.

I would have to agree with you, but disagree with one point you made, I would agree a medical diagnosis would say, "sleep disorder", but all I can say from my own personal experience, taking any sort of medication, or sleeping aid, may help with the short term, but that does not sort out any underlying issue, medical or paranormal, all that is being done is a issue not being dealt with and some type of aid being used to bypass it short term.
