Shadow People

[Snow White]

I'm doing a bit of Beat Reporting on the subject of the paranormal to say, besides ghosts, a rather common sighting is Shadow People, and this Wikipedia article talks about it in a pretty thorough way, including talking about the rather common sighting of "The man in the hat" which I felt I saw once, and as part of the article covering every ground as to what things could be, it also talks a bit about things like sleep paralysis:

One thing the article doesn't seem to say, is something that I believe, which is that Shadow People are sometimes associated with bad luck - either in the near past, or an omen that bad things will unfold soon. Usually both, though.

Of course, those looking for a natural explanation, may suggest that overstressing the body can increase the odds that you'll see things. So for them, it's the other way around, really.

This subject even got portrayed in a 1985 episode of the Twilight Zone, according to the article.

I remember a while back my mum showed me some of the artwork she'd done in her teens/early twenties. One of them was a shadowy figure in a hat and long coat which she'd claimed to have seen on occasion. It was certainly drawn pre-internet and she was surprised when I told her it was a fairly common sighting.

I don't see them, but I kinda believe in them.

Last night, I had just laid down to sleep, and in what seemed like just a few minutes, a "shadow" came over me, and I felt as though there was a weight and presence on the bed.

I didn't go into what is called sleep paralysis, but after praying for a minute or two, I was soon sleeping soundly, and didn't have any experience with "shadows".

That "over stressed body" explanation does not seem to add up.
I think if that were really the case, I would be having a lot of that experience... like Kesha's and others.

Or maybe I wasn't as overstressed as overstressed can be.

I imagine that, if ghosts are a thing, then they're all the same thing. They just manifest in different ways. That's what would make the most sense to me, anyway.

From all I've heard over the years is that these Shadow People are indeed real and are some human archetype form that feeds off negative emotions and exude negative emotions. I would speculate the possibility that they are attached to the human collective subconscious in some way.

I've never actually seen a shadow person, but I have no doubt that they exist. Although I've never actively sought one out, I've seen plenty of video evidence to support their existence and heard personal accounts of encounters with them from other paranormal investigators whom I personally trust. Shadow people are, in my opinion, just another paranormal enigma that I find very intriguing.

If they exist and I was not dreaming, I saw one in the doorway of my bedroom when I was in elementary school. It had to bend over to fit in the doorway
