Accounts of Shadow People or Shadow Beings have been reported by millions of individuals all over the world with evidence of these beings appearing before human witnesses throughout history. An increase of reported sightings over the last decade have brought these mysterious occurrences to mainstream consciousness.
So, what are shadow people?
Both children and adults observe these beings as fast, dark movements in their peripheral vision, some have seen them from a distance, while others have had face-to-face encounters.
Most often they are seen as dark, human-shaped silhouettes, usually male, but generally lacking any other characteristics of gender. Shadow beings are said to move extremely fast and travel through solid matter. They typically have no discernible features such as mouths, noses, or eyes and their forms are usually described as somewhat thin or smoke-like. While some people distinctly see a shadowy human form, others have described shapeless wispy black blobs and swirling columns of dark smoke. Some are seen only from the waist up. Others clearly have legs that are seen fleeing from their observers.
In many cases witnesses describe the sense of being watched, and discovering the shadow person observing them. Once noticed, the shadow person seems to flee quite rapidly, sometimes traveling through walls or closed doors and bushes. Sometimes they simply fade into the dark recesses of the night.
It is believed that these shadow people are some sort of other-dimensional beings whose dimension of origin occasionally overlaps with ours, which is said to explain their ethereal appearance and fleeting nature.
Reports of shadow people are in many respects different from accounts of ghosts. Ghosts are said to be the disembodied spirits of deceased people and are usually said to take on the appearance and characteristics of human beings. Orbs of light, ectoplasm and glowing mists have also been associated with ghost sightings. None of which is common he occurrence of shadow people. Although many accounts describe shadow beings as having human-like form, they are generally not described as resembling actual individuals, living or deceased. It has not believed that shadow people ever communicate verbally with witnesses.
Could we be catching a glimpse of our multi-dimensional neighbors as the fabric of our realities meld? Who knows, maybe they’re seeing us as indescribable ‘shadow beings’ too!
