Thread: What are the shadow people?

I have been to plenty of internet sites for a definitive answer but have not found it yet. I am talking about the dark shadowy figures you see out of the corner of the eyes. But when you turn they are not there. They are dark shadowy, and featureless.

Who or what are the shadow people? Why are they mostly male? They have nearly always been categorized as malevolent forces capable of telekinetics, and telepathy, nearly always present in the vicinity where heinious acts of cruelty are being commited.

But what are they? Evil individuals who died un-naturally? If so, are they now conducting their wicked agendas unhampered by the limitations of their once physical body? Are they "negative" astral entities? Are they at all astral in nature?

Or are they the personification of the combined human attrocities committed since time began? Is it that our evil acts that "spawn" them?

Who? What? Why? Does the occult present a definitive explanation as to the origin and nature of the shadow people?

well, could be succubus or incubus ??? that kinda makes sense. as a friend of mine told me, they are never seen completely. most often as dark shadowy figures.

also i've been told that if the intentions of the succubi and incubi are evil, one should sense the wretched stench of rotting meat or sulfur. dunno how accurate is this, cause i didnt had first hand experience with them. tho i have a friend that has regular dealings with them. she said she has friends among them.

I've done extensive research on them actually, firsthand mind you.

I was haunted by Shadow beings when I was younger, this was in fact the driving force that caused me to find witchcraft- I was afraid for my life and sought a power to defend myself with. I've seen this trend, Shadow people (I use the term "shadow demons") are drawn to people with unusual power. They are neutral beings that act only when they are compelled to. Being what they are, they understand little of human emotion except what is shown to them, so the way they ''help'' people they are drawn to is by working off the emotions of either fear or anger. They are quite intimidating beings to fully behold in their true form. They hold the powers to shift their bodily form as well as their features. However as one might guess- they always seem to be made of either corporeal or ethereal shadows.

As far as I can tell, there are in fact different 'races' of shadow people. For example, my Shadow Spirit is not what I would call a Shadow Demon- because a Shadow Spirit is created the moment a person steps on to the path of the witch and is an exact magickal "Other" of this person. Whereas a Shadow Demon is already in existence. From an account of a close colleague of mine- I came upon the information that Shadow Demons can change their gender spontaneously and at will. (And generally have none by default) Also, though I have nothing proving or disproving this, Shadow Demons may in fact be different from Shadow People.

Also, to my knowledge. Shadow Demons refer to their own Hierarchy (also to be noted, Shadow Demons are in fact NOT demons in the sense of being an evil-inclined entity. Though they are usually misunderstood because of their menacing and intimidating appearance, they can be beneficial if shown kindness) which operates in a system of which I know very little of - having not spent very much time closely with them. There does seem to be a "class system" they are also very docile unless approached with hostility, though they seem to disapprove of "outsiders".

Anything more I know I either cannot fully remember ( my memory is truly cursed, I have a seemingly endless hold of knowledge, but not the skills to recall it when it is needed.. ) or cannot reveal to others for reasons of an oath.

Also, Succubi and Incubi are vampiric demons, not shadow creatures (as far as my knowledge goes- and I've been visited by a succubus on more than one horrifying occasion. Just remembering it makes my stomach churn- which is not an easy task..) they drain the vitality of a person though intercourse. Either forced or by seducing their victims. Trademark after-feelings are weak constitution, lack of will, loss of sexual vitality, and general "heaviness" of the body.

QUOTE Trademark after-feelings are weak constitution, lack of will, loss of sexual vitality, and general "heaviness" of the body.

beside the loss of sexual vitality i experience the other 3 symptoms quite often. but i do not sense the stench of rotting flesh or sulfur.

Indeed.. During my succubus encounter, I was young and foolish enough to make a small prayer which seems to have acted as an opening for the wench... She came as an astral being in my dreams and when I woke up.. I felt like I had been choked in the night, there was a cold sweat over my brow and I remembered the dream vividly (which was unnatural for me) I had a bit of knowledge at the time of what a Succubus was... I knew the sensations that indicated a succubus attack as well... I was not right for weeks, and when she came again to feed I was lucid. I repelled her. I did not see her again for a few years, at which time I was able to destroy her and did so. An experience I would never wish upon another person. Save perhaps for my most hated enemy.

Also: nor have I experienced those sensations. But those others could be attributed to day-to-day emotional or mental wear, though if you are concerned. I'd recommend a protection spell before bed. Something that will last til morning preferably.

Anyhow.. I apologize, I seem to have a bad habit of going off topic.

Not much can really be said about shadow people, some say their just ghosts, others say they are impressions like stated above, others say they are demons, ive never had too much trouble with them, and Lady D i tottally understand what u mean by fighting them suck, back when i was way too far into spiritual warfare i got visited by a succubus, and then a month later a banshee, I boosted up my protection around my house up to the highest of my abilities because of it, dont want a repeat

During my childhood these guys were always hanging around me.

I remember once, whilst watching my younger brother, I heard a squishy sound out the window. I thought to myself "that really sounds like someone walking in mud". Just as I did so, a shadow person walked by the window. However, this one was white, not light or anything, just like he didn't have a color. I saw him a few more times out windows during the day, but more often I heard him squishing around.

Later that night I was sleeping in my bed. I woke up and had to pee but I was too scared to leave my bed. So I sat there, staring at the door to my room, contemplating fear to bladder comfort ratios. Then a shadow person poped round the corner and peaked into my room. Quick and silent, just like that some strange being was staring me down. I was frozen with fear and he just kept his eyeless gaze upon me. Finally I screamed aloud and summoned my parents to my aid. He vanished just as they entered the room.

Another time I was in my new room and a little bit older. It was once again night and I had just rolled over to my other side, which left me facing the door to my room. I looked at it for a moment, and suddenly a small shadow child entered my room, walked to my bedside and stared at me. He had pointed ears. Needless to say, I was almost passing out from fear. What the hell was this guy? Is he going to hurt me? I somehow managed to roll over and fall asleep.

When I was very young, I was in the tub taking a bath. According to my mother I was talking to someone in there. She asked me who it was. I told her the shadow man with the hat right there. She told me not to talk to strangers.

I've found that these shadow people usally are very scary to behold. They also wear hats.

All of my friends have seen them as well. My one buddy saw two in the middle of the road. He thought they were turkey vultures at first. Then they stood up and looked at him before flying up and away. My other friend was stirring up **** with ghosts at a cemetery one night and on his way home he saw them just off the road side stepping towards his car. My mother and brother have both seen them as well by the road side.

Someone said they were attuned to Saturn energy.

So, I think they are usually found in some twilight area. Roads, hallways, doorways, walls, edges, borders. And they wear hats.

I tried to call them out, several times, in these areas but to no avail. Maybe I didn't meet the dress codes.

I have listened to Art Bell and Co. take calls on shadow people for several years. Yes, they are reported to wear hats. Mr. Bell thinks they may be the shadows of being cast from over-lapping parrallel dimensions who often may not be aware of our world, or that they may be cast across time from beings in the same space. I have listened to a dozen or so first-hand stories from caller to the show with very few details in common except for sleep-paralysis and the Hats.

I wonder if such beings would be in fear of our shadows cast into their world, shivering at the strangeness: "They had no hats! No hats!"

yeah likewise Lady D, but lucky enough I knew how to control energy well enough so I was okay, the banshee was the worst because i was asleep and on my back, so i just created an energy "bomb" on my back and blew it up fairly painfully effective let me say. And so now after much experiances, I offer my knowledge and help people now to avoid any problems people might have that are similar.
