I think these kind of ghost reports are very common because, well, shadows occur usually in darkened areas where our vision is not too keen. In addition, these kind of apparitions are commonly reported as being seen out of the corner of the eye, and peripheral vision is poor at both perceiving colors and resolving images. In addition, sometimes it may not be very obvious where shadows are coming from, and tricks of light and shadow can lead to visual illusions.

quite a few experiences, and I know people who have had similar experiences as me.
My opinion is that they are caused by the dream mechanism in the brain. A chemical problem that is related to sleep deprivation, or heavy stress.
I have done a lot of research and it seems most people who experience the most intriging shadow man experiences have similar stories. The man is walking down the hallway without noticing the person watching, or it comes face to face with the person and then disperses like it was made of gas.
Ive experienced this a few times, and I myself am prone to sleep disorders. The experience is very similar to sleep paralysis, except without the paralysis.
I used to believe they were actual spirits, but on researching stories, I found certain themes and events to be too close to other sleeping disorder symptoms.
edit: notice that its also quite common to see shadow men and shadow animals in the road when driving through the night and lacking sleep. I used to travel all over for work, and I almost went off the road a number of time thinking there was someone in the middle of an empty interstate.

They definitely exist.
The Islam Religion calls them Djinns. They have often been called shadows, shadow people, Dark Force Entities (DFEs))
It makes no difference what you call them. They are real and they ARE there.
Most of them are evil, and do their best to frighten the living; then feed off the negative energy and emotions being churned out by their victims.
Lastly they are shape shifters, and can take many guises such as shadow
spiders
snakes
large black dogs
large black cats (about the size of panthers or larger)
humanoid.
I have personally seen them appear in the spiders, snakes and humanoid forms, I first encountered these 46 years ago when I was 6 years old.

I'm not an investigator, although I'd love to become one, but we've been having activity at my house and I've seen some things, but my daughter has been seeing and hearing things as well.
I whipped out my camera and got a bunch of glowing solid orbs and when my daughter and I felt sick in her room I snapped a bunch of pictures in sequence and one orb moved it's way down and right in front of her night stand I snapped a picture of a black misty form. I think some thing is here and because we felt so sick when the form took place, I don't think it's a good spirit.

Yay, now everyone will think I'm crazy, but oh well. I'll tell you what I know.
SHADOW DEMONS:
These creatures are clever, the only sane demons that interact with the human realm. They torment humans out of bordom, and take the shape of things to manipulate thier prey. There are a couple of approaches they take:
1. They will take the shape of something that terrifys thier prey, and drive thier prey insane.
Example:
I had a shadow demon plauge me for a long time, it took the form of a chineese dragon made out of black smoke. It would jump out of shadows, and I could never look into any small pools of water because the water would swirl and turn black, with the thing's yellow eyes looking out at me.
You are relativly lucky if they decide to to this instead of taking the second approach because:
2. The second approach is driven to kill the human. They take form of somthing comforting, somthing that the human would trust and kill them that way.
Example:
A good friend of mine has nightmares about a tall man in a fendora and a trenchcoat (this is a common shape for them to take). She is a little girl in the dream. The man says:
"I bet you can't hold your breath for longer than I can"
They argue over it,
"Yes I can!"
"No you can't."
"Yes I can!"
"Wanna bet?"
"Look I can do it, see?"
"Every time she has had this dream, someone has woken her up, because she wasn't breathing in real life.
The two most common forms they take is the man in the trenchcoat, and a shadow with glowing eyes and teeth. It is impossible to bind a Shadow Demon. The only way you can get rid of them is by reading Psalm 91 out loud. Dosen't matter if you're a christian or not, they believe.
BOO MEN:
As far as I can figure out, Boo Men are shadow elementals. They are fond of scaring humans as well, but they are not so cunning, and not as strong as Shadow demons. They take the shape of a black, smokey human, and generally loom where someone can see them, or jump out and give a human a brief gimpse of them. They are no real threat to anyone who dosen't have a dire heart condition.

isn't any real info Paranormal exist, "impressive claims require impressive info", Occam's Razor cut back down Paranormal, not want Paranormal whilst typical phenomena clarify observations.

Shadow men are just another in a long line of humanoid "entities" that choose to haunt this world. They seem to be more popular now than ever before.

We were lucky enough to see several at Waverly Hills this summer, I felt like it was a recurring memory, so to speak. They are going through repetitive patterns as they did in real time. It was amazing to see, I'll tell you that!
