Answer 1

I believe it's just a trick of vision that has led people to believe in "shadow people". Our peripheral vision is not very good and sometimes we think we see things out of the corner of our eyes. We turn to look, and it is gone. What was it? Just an optical artifact, nothing more. Some people see areas of shadow straight on and can't immediately find an explanation for it and believe they are "shadow people". But optics can be very deceiving and it is not always easy to see how shadows can form. And some people see shadows in places where you'd expect to find shadows and still think they are "shadow people" -- some people just want to believe, that's all. Complicating matters further is our optical cortex which can be fooled quite easily... think of all the optical illusions out there and why they work on us so well.

Shadow people, like ghosts, remain only conjecture since no credible evidence yet exists for either.

Answer 2

I've had an experience. I live with my father, whose house is about 90 years old. I was tryting to get to sleep, there was no glint of light anywhere, and I closed my eyes. When I opened them, I saw a shadow person wearing a top hat sort of thing. I quickly ran out of the room and downstairs. I turned on all the lights and watched TV, since I didn't really feel the need to wake anyone. At the time I thought maybe I was just seeing things, but in the morning, my step mother was recounting the same experience with a "shadow that moved around the room." It terrified us greatly.
So I belive that shadow people are real, no matter what anyone says. The supernatural interests me a lot. . .

Answer 3

Whoohoo! A question about Shadow people! *ahem* - sorry. I just love questions that are about them (I am really interested in the Shadow Ghosts/Shadow beings/Shadow people - they are so interesting)!

1) Ok, here's a GREAT website. It's called Ghoststudy.com - and it has a lot of information, about Shadow Ghosts (and many other different kinds of ghosts too). Most of it is probably NOT very exciting to you, but ah wait - before you dismiss this website, I might as well add a few things...

i) This website has photos of Shadow Ghosts
ii) This website has a collection of people's experiences and sketches of what they've seen.
iii) Shadow Ghosts can be put into three categories (based on their forms).

Here is the website: http://www.ghoststudy.com - you can just click on it, and explore the whole website that way.
BUT if you're interested in JUST the Shadow's, then... here's the link you can click on...:
http://ghoststudy.com/new5/shadows.htm (this link is quite good).

2) Sometimes I've had times I've THOUGHT I've seen one dart about the room from the corner of my eye, but I've never actually been sure. Most of the time I've shrugged it off.

3) Not that I know of. I see them as 'just shadows' - well, sort of - meaning, I see them as generally harmless. Also, the links on ghoststudy.com, concerning the accounts of other people - most of them claim to be fairly harmless... no accounts on there talk about a harmful shadow being (unless I've overlooked any submitted stories). There ARE some scary looking shadow ghosts though (monstrous forms).

Answer 4

i had not ever had an experience with shadow people,but there is some people that has lived this experiences,and I'm
in no position to say this is real or not,here are some links
for you,The term shadow ghost refers to a dark entity that appears as a indistinct shadow, sometimes they will be human in shape and size. They are usually seen as a fleeting shape out of the corner of your eye. Some have been seen during the day but more often at night. Many believe that they are evil or demonic because of their phantom like appearance although this really does not seem to be the case. Most cases of shadow ghost are reported in homes, in corners or disappearing through walls, sometimes passing by a lighted window

Answer 5

Woot! Joka had some really good information going on.

"Shadow People" is more likely a classification for something that people can see but can't explain easily.

As humans evolve and come to see and experience more paranormal activity many things will be clumped together in accurately.

The term could be in relation to "lower energy" who will tend to be negative....or it could be the manifestation from another dimention; positive OR negative...or it could just be residual energy.

Demon? Not likely. Djinn? Perhaps. The Djinn were never human.

Answer 7

I used to have experiences, when I was younger. Always in the woods, in my peripheral vision. Of course, we made up plenty of make-believe stories about it. Do I think they're real? No.

I think you should read the wikipedia article more carefully - look at the scientific explanations section, especially pareidolia. The thing is, our eyes are very untrustworthy, and even if our eyes are accurate, the way our brains work is often untrustworthy. People see things that aren't there for so many reasons, and it's normal.

When do you see them the most? Where? If you're just sitting in the middle of a bright room and a shadow person manifests itself directly in front of you, now that's something. But they're called shadow people for a reason - they are probably just shadows that our minds interpret as human forms, just like how we see shapes in the clouds. So no, "they" aren't dangerous. It could be interesting for you to experiment with this - record when and how you see them, and find patterns. You could figure out how human perception works, and is flawed.

EDIT: Oh, and be careful with your research. Most sites you'll find on this will probably be the believer sites, and they'll have all kinds of crazy stuff on them. Don't let yourself ever become frightened of this, because that'll just get your mind worked up and make it worse for no reason.

Answer 8

Yes, I dont know how much you will learn online, but check out
www.trueghost.com

I have seen them, and know people who have.
They were not in the periferal vision as some people insist. They were seen straight on, without use of drugs, and in broad daylight.

If anyone wants to argue that they are illusions or dreams, they need to take these into account.

Here is what I know about them. They were never human, and they are all over the place.
When they are seen, it is on accident, they do not come out of hiding in the shadows. Accounts of them physically attacking people is usually due to the person blocking thier escape, or surprising them.
They are some kind of demon. They were never human. They are possibly parasites. They sometimes are seen in dark corners watching people, but when approached, they run.

Yes, they could be dangerous, but most likely they will not physically harm you. They are not constrained by location, they can be driven out, or attracted into locations.

They are part of an invisible war which has been going on for a long time, and they are not the good guys.

You can email me if you want me to share more of my experiences.

Answer 9

Shadow people is best represented in the movie Ghost. They are the entities that are all over Earth and their primary purpose is to carry off the wicked to hell. If you see them, then you are probably evil or around someone that is.
Seeing them is a major sign of someones death is soon to come.

Answer 10

I hadn't remembered seeing one other than a few weeks ago. I was sleeping and awoke to see a dark shadow cross my room at the end of my bed towards the bathroom. I guess he had to go? It looked like it had a short neck, long hair or a helmet. I guess you could say it was simple, even a cave man can do it.

Answer 11

Shadow People are not real. This greatly reduces their potential to be dangerous. Figments of the imagination are only dangerous when people attempt to give them life through their own fear or misinformation.

I have been to places that many people would consider scary, haunted or cursed. I have never once felt anything other than my own anxiety. Fear of spirits is a very old tradition of human beings, and its time is long past.
