Shadow Beings

You have probably heard of them, perhaps even had an encounter or two, but what are they? Are they ghosts, spirits, demons, devils, something else? Reports of these “beings” vary, but all share some of the same characteristics. Come with me as I explore Shadow Beings and what they may or may not be.

They are dark and the words; “shadow-like” is often used to describe them. Until you have seen one you may not understand why people tend to get so freaked out by them as they are just shadows after all… aren’t they? Let’s first look at the characteristics that are most often reported with Shadow Being (also known as Shadow People) cases. Keep in mind that these do not apply to all cases, but they are stated in the vast majority of them. 

1. Often reported as staying in or just to the outside of the shadows that can normally be found in a place. 

2. More often than not shadow beings are reported to have a humanoid shape to them. 

3. The shadow forms are often first seen on the side of one’s vision (corner of the eye sight). Enough to notice that something is odd, but when attention is fully turned toward the shadow it is either seen to move out of sight or disappear/blend in with the other shadows. 

4. Often described as being denser than the surrounding shadows. The phrase, “it seemed to absorb the light” has been used a lot. 

5. They move very quickly. 

6. When asked to describe how the being disappeared or moved there seems to be the mainstay answer of saying that the being “dispersed and reformed”. If they are describing the being going away and not coming back most cases state that the shadow “dispersed and seemingly blended with the shadows surrounding it” or “darted away and disappeared”. 

7. Shadow Beings are most commonly reported to be simply watching/observing the person or persons who report the incident. Many cannot pinpoint when the feeling of being watched started but the feeling grows as the being is spotted, often in a corner of the room, a darkened doorway or behind them.
