He's never really been able to describe to me what she looked like aside from "she's all white" and ghostface was blacker than night and had red eyes. He's 6 now but when I ask about either of them he won't answer and just changes the subject completely. He still won't sleep in his room alone and is terrified of the dark, a small flashlight fixes that as does his sharing a room with siblings. I'll see if I can get him to talk about it in a round about way.

Thats ok, no need to stress him.

It does seem that the Shadow Person won't enter a house unless invited to come in. So far this seems to be the rule, but just a heads up if someone does let them in they will stick around in that house even after you leave. I've seen and heard stories about this. In more then a few cases I've investigated this is the rule, but I'm sure that there are some stories of this not being the case too (I'll base this off of the point that I believe that these Shadow People are individuals rather than a colective event)

I'm fully aware of this. Ghosts seem to be stuck to a loction or object, Shadow People seem to have freedom of movement (much like us)

You said that you interact with them, care to share any details you have?

SE's have absolute freedom. They even move within and through us. The world is not what any of us believe.

This will frustrate you and I'm sorry, but I don't have the words or the expertise to explain this. I just know what they do to me and with me. They are both good and evil. Some will call them by their respective religious names. I do not because people then tend to associate then with a specific religion. I don't like this because every religion has its positives and negatives.

Earth is a battleground and an amusement park. Fear and anger are the basic fuel consumed by these creatures. I know this because I am a tool, used by one of them since I was a very small child.

More later.

Thank you. If it helps all you have to do is explain it in words that you understand, and let us ask questions that might clearify it for others.

Sure, but it is quite involved so I'll type it up and then paste it across in the next couple of days. House work today

Thanks for doing this thread by the way. I really like that you've taken such a sensible non extreme attitude to these unusual events in peoples lives.
It's about time all this information, and if you look there's lots (usually labeled differently causing confusion), be finally correlated into something resembling an explanation that sits well.

My experiences have covered a few different areas of ......................(?!) see? no word yet, a few spring to mind but none encompass it all.

I will be back and thanks again.

Ask away. I'll answer what I can. I'm no expert though. I just know what I've been through. It's been a nightmare.

What have you noticed about them?
What do they look like (not so much as Shadows, but rather did they appear to be wearing anything)

You stated:

What do they do?

Also thank you for not trying to class them in a religous classification. This is really helpful to others.

That is the point of this thread. I believe that if we can gather up all this data on the Shadow People we can figure out what they can and can't do, and we might be able to figure out something about their culture (if they have one, which at this point it seems that they do)

They cannot be seen by us but animals can see them. When your dog or cat is looking at the wall-that is them.

When they're onboard they will do either negative or positive things in order to maintain "the balance". The Balance is the positive/negative balance in any particular location.

This is why you could be having a great day and suddenly spill coffee on your favorite shirt. SE's only care about The Balance and maintaining it. They don't care about the fact that your were having a great day. If it's too good that's no good, so it's countered by the negative.

If they can't be seen by us are you saying that all the other "sightings" in this thread are something separate from what you are describing here? If that is the case it would make sense that your shadow entities don't seem to follow the same set of rules the OP has been trying to empirically gather. You say they feed on fear and anger and put locational balance above all else. The term "tool" I found interesting because it made me think of what our own tools would infer about our society based on how we use them. Perhaps as the OP believes there is an entire shadow society and the ones we have experienced follow different rules than the ones you describe. I would correlate your description so far with a "police" type force that maintains balance and perhaps because of this type of goal they have broader abilities or less restrictions so to speak.

Everyone has experiences that are like puzzle pieces, put them together and see if you can make a picture with them, but always keep in mind that there may be more than one picture to see.

Let me know if I missed what you were implying.

So then why is it that many of us have seen them? Are you saying that they are not suppose to be seen, and sometimes that mess up, or are you saying something different?

When they're onboard they will do either negative or positive things in order to maintain "the balance". The Balance is the positive/negative balance in any particular location.

Could you explain "onboard" so that we can understand it better please (if you can't think of a way to say it better thats ok just tell us of an example of it)

This is a very interesting idea. I've noticed the possibility of different factions within the Shadow Peoples culture. This idea of yours could imply that Shadow People that cause issues with us are mitagated by other Shadow People that "Set Things Right".

I will number my answers.

1. The entities I speak of cannot be seen by living humans.

2. When I say "onboard" I mean an entity is within you and operating through you or using you as a vehicle.

3. There are positive and negative entities. The negative entities are very strong because the human animal is very susceptible to indulging his baser instincts.

reply to post by shortchop79

We do not control our world. These entities control it. Have you heard the expression "the dead control the living"? That is very accurate.

Thank you for numbering these.

1. Then how do we see them? (or rather how do we know they exist?)
If these cratures you speak of can not be seen by us, then how do you explain how many of us have seen them?

2. So are you saying that they influence us, or that these creatures outright control us?
From this statement of yours I'm thinking that you may be talking about some kind of inter-diminsional being, The Shadow People that are seen by many of us seem to follow some rules of physics. Are you talking about the same creatures as us?

3. Positive and Negative? Please explain this a bit.
I've posted this simple question before; "Do they cause us to feel a certain way, or do we feel a certain way becaus ewe don't understand them?"

So are you saying that the Shadow People are made up of the dead?

1. I cannot speak to what other people see without having seen these things myself. I only know what I have experienced. I only know that I will never tell another person "you are full of it" because I have seen the unbelievable and I have known the unknowable.

2. I know for a fact that at times they outright control us. Is this the case all the time? I don't know. Try this-the next time you do something that isn't like you, think very carefully about it. Was it really you, or was it an entity correcting The Balance? Take note of whether it was a positive or a negative adjustment. The next time you do something dumb, it was a negative entity. The negative side is very cruel and will take every opportunity it can to be mean to you.

Continued below . . .

3. Positive and negative, good and evil. They turn our emotions on and off, like switches.

There are people they do not mess with, the rich, Masons, others in certain positions. I haven't quite figured out the power structure yet.

4. The dead. I know it sounds crazy, but bear with me. We are closer to our dearly departed than anyone realizes. They dwell within us, protect us.

1. Very good point. This is why I ask questions, to learn what the other person has seen.

2. I'm not going to get into a discussion of philosophy. I will ask you if you know why balance is important to them? (how would you know this? is it a feeling, did one tell you, or is it just speculation?)

Again please don't think I'm trying to be rude, I'm only asking these questions so that I can understand what you're saying.

3. Same question as above (see prior posting)

Are you implying that some groups have dealings with these creatures? (I know you said that you haven't figured out their power structure yet, but from what I've seen they do have a social order.

4. What leads you to think this? (it is interesting to think that we live in a purgatory existance which would fit in with what you are saying. Unless I misunderstood you)

reply to post by PrplHrt


I understand as you said your knowledge of them is limited but this begs a serious question or two. If they are controlling us, who or what is controlling them? Are they individuals or are they many forms with a common consciousness? By what you say they would establish a hierarchy where they both control and feed upon us, much like a vampire mythos where they control and feed upon their victims but do not kill or harm otherwise. Are we to be kept in a balance of fear and anger in order to keep then satiated or is it a balance of negative and positive in our lives that must be maintained?

I guess my questions could be boiled down to:
1. Who or what controls them?
2. Is the balance maintained for our benefit, or theirs?
