Weve also had stories of shadow people but i always thought them to be guardian spirit stuff or something not in the least scary and that it was supposed to be hereditary. weird.
And damn! I was expecting maybe one or two people at most to have had experiences like mine. I cannot believe how common this is.
Hi guys. I'm ana. Newb
I've never seen anything creepy. These shadow people sound like the things that ended up to be the evil dudes in White Noise. I found the end to that movie rather disappointing and confusing though, so there you go.
On another note, one thing I used to be creeped out by was the sensations I always had whilst falling asleep. When I was a kid I used to get the sensation that I was spinning, and falling through the bed. Really I enjoyed that more than anything though. It never really scared me, and I wish I could get it to happen again these days, but it never does.
But earlier this year, when I was falling asleep and thinking a lot, I would get the freakiest sensation. I would feel like I could feel people touching me (yeah, I know how that sounds >_< ). But I mean like, on my legs and arms and stuff. Not grabbing me or anything, just the touch of a fingertip. But I would get it all over. It freaked my out, but I decided that it was probably just the feel of the hairs on my arms pricking up and brushing against my pajamas or something. Now I just put it down to an overactive imagination, because I really don't believe in anything paranormal, and I've always been assured by the fact that my family was the first to own my house, and nobody has ever died or been seriously injured here.
Anyway, so I was just looking through wikipedia, and I went Shadow People > Hypnagogia > Hypnic Jerk
The Hypnagogia pretty much describes my falling/out of body experiences, and the 'tactile sensations' (people touching me). I've also had hypnic jerks happen to me, and those are also really creepy, and are usually brought on by the tactile sensations. Then again, I guess I could just have that disease where I THINK I have every disease I read about. And really, all my experiences could be paranormal.
It's a funny world we live in, isn't it?

I've been doing that since i was a kid, a lot of times id come up to one of my homies and say "you were calling me?" then they go "no, no ones calling you" but in actuality i heard someone calling me. there was a time it got so bad i was even sleepwalking and my parents say i was always mumbling of someone calling me.

I'm a big believer in the group subconscious idea… I feel like this idea is just as rational as anything else, when you get right down to it, and can really be used to help understand phenomena like this.
I've seen shadowy figures, I've seen them moving, not just in the corner of my eye, and I believe that there are parts of this world (and functions of the human brain) that will never be fully understood. I think that mystery is the closest we get to magic. And I, for one, sure as hell need a little magic in my life. Even if it means also conceding that scary things exist, too. (For the record, I sleep with the light on when I'm home alone.)
Sort of related: I have a family friend who's a middle-aged psychologist (he mostly works with disturbed teens). He's a good man, honest and rational, but he has described these sorts of things following him his whole life. This sort of, in my head, ties back to the group subconscious idea, that so many people, with such disparate backgrounds, in all parts of the world, can experience essentially identical phenomena, and describe it essentially the same way (djinn, demon, hag, succubus…) Now, I also believe in the physical aspect of such sightings. I've experienced the whole gamut of sleep related goodies… hypnagogia, sleep paralysis, lucid dreams, sleep walking… and I talk in my sleep like it's going out of style. And the nightmares I have? Whoo, buddy. I could teach you a thing or two about vivid nightmares. And I do think that there's a physiological side to these sightings… but that could lead to a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" sort of argument. Are these sightings purely byproducts of short-circuits in the brain, or are the short-circuits in the brain actually allowing us to percieve something that really exists outside our usual perceptions.
Funny story: When I was a kid, I guess probably seven or eight, other kids my age in the neighborhood started talking about seeing these shadow people in our area (that's actually what we called them… oooh… wikipedia read my mind), mostly during broad daylight. I suppose it was just a dumb kids game, something to make our lives exciting, but isn't it funny that this sort of phenomenon expresses itself in so many ways, on so many levels… even though it could just be, at its root, some deep and primal fear of the saber-toothed creature on the edge of the firelight?
(P.S.– I am the queen of run-on sentences.)
I declare a shadow person hunt. We shall hunt down these creatures and have overly formal conversations with them about their way of life, this overly formal conversation shall be complete with tea, monocles, and sipping with our pinkies out.
Yes… It shall be the greatest pseudo-scientific breakthrough in history…

Actually, having just read a biography of Maggie Fox, one of the founders of the Spiritualist movement of the 1800's, I can pretty decisively say that people have been there, done that.
hahaha
number phobia…
the movie "PI" had something like that. PI was suppose to be the answer to the universe and the koran was written in mathematical language. and mathematics is the language of the universe and God is the universe…Einstien was trying to predict what God would do next, but he died before he could come up with that equation.
