Shadow People: What do they do?

reply to post by LoneCloudHopper2


Well it looked cat like. Let me explain what I saw;

It was a small shadowy mass about 1-2 feet long
It had what looked like a tail (could have been a a trail of shadowy vapor as well)
It was only about a foot off the ground
When it leapt out the window it moved like a cat jumping

This is why I called it a Shadow Cat.

Curiouser and curiouser. Shadow men and shadow animals. Have any shadow women been reported? This subject is so intriguing. They must be from another realm and we are just percieving them as shadows. Or are they are merely just shadowy beings?

There have been a few reports that describe the Shadow Person as a "female like form". So I guess there could be female Shadow People.

Found an Art Bell show on shadow people. Seems there have been recorder incidents from as far back as 1153. 'Thunder Strikes', a shaman got permission from the elders to share info on these shadow people.

Supposedly they are inorganic sentient beings that feed off our negative energy. Still listening to the show.

Thank you for the AB clip (I'll listen to it later tonight)

I wonder why people keep claiming that "all shadow people feed off of you", when it doesn't seem to be the case in every encounter.

OK so I skimed over the interview, and for the most part it seems to be in line with what has been posted here. A few things that don't mix with me.

The Shadow People seem to be a universal event. The AB Interview says that they were reported in 1200's Mexico. I'll have to dig but I remember a report from ancient India. (I'll have some information about this sometime Friday 19, Oct 12)

The best part so far though (to me at least) is the first caller that describes the Shadow People he has issues with. Very useful info.

I would very much like to hear about the history in India and Mexico or wherever else there may have been accounts from that long ago.

What you call ignorant, I call sensible. Shadow people don't exist... I mean, common.... shadow people.

My reply was useless, but so is the thread.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I'm not saying that I DO believe in shadow people. To be honest, this thread is the first time I've even heard the term. That said, I'm not willing to discount the idea that there is something, somewhere, that acted in the way the OP describes. I've had enough experiences in my own life to know better than to discount claims of the paranormal out of hand.

I'll have this on Friday sometime. (thats the earliest I can get to the public library. I'll post what info I can, along with the ISBN of the book used)

Interesting. Not sure if mine had its paws on the floor or not. I saw its shadowy form running, near by bedpost, but very clearly.

Very good talk! I listened to the whole thing and the second hour was more interesting than the first! The Native shaman believes that these Shadow Men are energy vampires and are not a good sign. Some of these are Men in Black, similar-looking entities (which seem to wear hats) which he doesn't like to comment on here, but states that they are government-created. Of course, the shamanic perspective is different than Christian or other religious perspectives. To them, demons are psychic parasites and not necessarily "evil" (as in Christians belief.) He does acknowledge the entity known by Christians as Satan, and believes that it is the same entity as 'Death' (the Grim Reaper (which comes to kill people and take their souls.) He also points out that many such spirits can be made by us (like the Men in Black being made as spies) but that many positive spirits exist, some of which are needed to keep nature alive.

And I also found it interesting that he believes that Big Foots are protectors of nature (although some are evil, he says) because I also believed this! I had an encounter with one once and I felt it to be harmless and my instinct was exactly that: a nature spirit. That's not to say it's a fact; just that I like how my perspective meets with his on this matter.

So, according to Thunder Strikes and what this discussion reveals, the differences between Shadow Men and Men in Black are: Shadow Men are energy vampires and Men in Black (who wear hats or covers over their heads) are government spy entities and sometimes assassins, based on some of their reported acts.

I have always been fascinated in shamanism and it is so rare to hear a real shaman speak so openly about such subjects! Thanks for sharing, Night Star! Interesting for sure!

I've noticed this too. Many religious groups (and people) seem to state that the Shadow People are bad/evil/demonic, but from what I can tell thats not the case.

Yeah this made me laugh a little. Big Foots (or would that be feet? just kidding) leave poop, hair, and in one case blood (Theodore Roosevelt's tail of shooting a Big Foot) . Luckly I've never heard of a Shadow Person doing that.

I've heard about this too. I'm going to be going over some of the MIB stories to see if there are any simularities other than appearances (the idea of some guys in black doesn't mean Shadow Person. I mean if that was the case then the SS would be Shadow People)

Interesting for sure!

It was an informative listen.

Yes I'm quoting myself. I'm sorry, but after going to three different public libraries, a community college library, and a University library. I wasn't able to find the book I was looking for. It was a "Timelife Series" of books. The community college librarian told me that they got rid of "that" section to make more room for a computer lab. She then told to "Google it" if I was looking for something specific. I'm not going to post my thoughts on THAT.

I will continue to do some digging to see what I can find.

Why do you conclude that Shadow Men are not evil? They do seem linked with demonic activity.

Of course, beings appearing as man-like shadows could be different kinds of entities. Men in Black are usually described as wearing hats or having some kind of hood or their heads.

edit on 19-10-2012 by LoneCloudHopper2 because: (no reason given)

I've heard of a few cases where a Shadow Person acted in a way to protect a person. One story was a guy (he was a contractor) in Iraq that had a Shadow Person trying to wave the guy away from a location. Later that day an IED went off at the spot the guy said he saw the Shadow Person waving him away from.

My grandfatehr told me about the Shadow French People (thats what he called them) that would stand on top of mine locations during WW2. They (I assume he means the men in his unit) would see these Shadows out in the field where land mines were placed. He told me that they were all over the place in France during the war.

There is another story with a picture of a Shadow Person that I would love to tell, but the guy who told me (and showed me the pictures) doesn't want his story told for personal reasons. Needless to say a Shadow Person directly saved his life, and stated with him until he recovered.

I personaly have also seen a Shadow Person that saved lives (not just mine but a few other people as well). It was back when I lived in Maryland during the winter. A bridge had been badly iced over, and there wasn't any side rails due to an accident that took it out (no signs were up about this either). While driving down the road a Shadow Person had ran into the road in front of me. I could see right through the human shaped shadow. While I wasn't frightend by what I had seen, I was very startled (ok it scared me at first, but that went away quickly). I ran out into the road to see what it was.

This is when it took off, but when I was at the front of the car I saw that the bridge wasn't safe to cross. Other drivers seeing my car parked in the road turned around and drove across a different bridge. I sat in my car for a while trying to figure out what I had saw when suddenly it came back. This time though it waved me away (I felt like it was telling me that I can go now). As soon as I turned my car around I saw the Maryland State Police coming up the road to close the bridge off.

Thats why I don't feel that Shadow People are all bad (but I do feel that there is a Faction within their society that is bad)

As for MIB. I really don't think they are anymore paranormal then you or I. They seem solid in all of the reports I read (I haven't read them all, but I have read quite a few), and with a few exceptions they all seem like they are human (in a couple of reports the MIBs seem like they might be Alien) Either way they are always a solid entity that openly talks, drive cars, and take notes. None of these seem to fit with what we know about Shadow People's behavorisms.

Interesting! That makes me wonder about the intention of the Shadow Men in my case. I never got any feel from them (negative or otherwise,) it seemed to me that they had to be behind it. Maybe they were, or maybe they were trying to warn me. Interesting. The Big Foot I saw was a walking shadow form, by the way, in case I didn't make it clear before. It seemed like a peaceful (or at least non-harmful entity.) Not sure how that might relate to people-like Shadow Men who are peaceful.

There are two kinds of MIB (at least.) One is an actual agent who uses hypnosis and/or intimidation to convince people either to ignore what they saw or otherwise to keep their mouths shut about it, the other kind is an entity (in modern terms, a “multidimensional alien.”) Supposed ex-MIB employee Dan Burisch claimed (in an interview with Project Camelot) that a shadow MIB can wear the skin of a dead human to hide the fact that it’s an alien/entity, but that sounds a little far-fetched, even for me.

Yeah the intentions of these Shadow People seem to vary as much as one person is different from another.

He's a side tip on the whole MIB hypnosis thing (I've been interested in these guys for a long time). They seem to act simular to the "Mad Gasser" events from the 30's.

Wiki: Mad Gasser

It might have been possible that one of the "Alphabet Agencies" figured out what the gasser used, and then used it them selves. [just a thought about that]

Back to the Shadow People; I'm trying to look at them from an anthropologic standpoint. Hopefully I can figure their culture out. They seem very interesting.

I was thinking about this today:
I wonder how many people have seen Shadow People during the day, but don't think must of it?

While I'm still trying to figure out what they are I still have a lot of questions relating to their behavours. If anyone has any more stories please share them.

I saw my first shadow person in 1975, I am quite certain that I was not the first person to ever see them... so I am guessing they have been around, but quite often in years past people did not share experiences for fear of being commited for psychiatric treatment.

Here is my thread on the subject:

My Story


In my experience, which was very head on, shadow people arent nice, or at least that's what I experienced.
