My experience with Shadow People

[Pitch Potter]

I have found this discussion very enlighten even though I have not had an experience except what appears out of the corner of my eye and of course when I look, nothing there. Just can't be certain if I saw something or not.

I think that's how it is with a lot of people, Pitch. I also know not everything I see out of the corner of my eye is a ghost. But I also believe that sometimes it is.

Like I had mentioned earlier, the shadow creature my mother saw did appear to be solid, except the feet not touching the floor. I know that there have been numerous sightings of both The Hat Man and the Hooded Shadow Figure all over the country. I am of the opinion that these beings are malevolent in nature. They scare people for a reason.

The little girl does not sound like a shadow creature, but she doesn't sound good either. I'm glad you're not having those sightings anymore. From what I understand they move around a lot.

No worries, I was shocked to see so much posted over the course of the day.

I suppose I can give a little bit of background, I have always had special abilities since I was young. The first memory I can really remember well is of my dreams. I use to have dreams about people close to me, or myself and all the dreams would come true. I was 7 when I had the first dream (That I remember), and I had a dream that my father died. Every night for one month straight the dreams grew worse and worse, and then when I could not stand it any more, I ran away from my house and went to a friends house for a day. When I was brought back home, I found out my dad had died exactly as I saw in my dream. It really bothered me.

I then had a second dream 2 weeks later about two neighbors of mine falling into a pond covered with ice, and they were found a couple days later where I had seen them in my dream. That really started to bother me, and it messed with my mind for a long time, because I thought that if I got close to people, they would die. The last dream of death that I had was a week before my birthday, I had a dream that I was standing in my grandmothers room at her nursing home, and I was looking out the window at the trees and cars in the parking lot. I had never seen the place and she had just recently moved there when my dad died, because it drove her crazy. She had forgotten who I was or any of my family really. But in my dream she just sat on the edge of her bed staring at the wall with a sad look on her face. When I turn to look at her, her face would turn pale and she would look to the door where a black figure writhed in smoke stood, and she kept saying "No... No... your right here!" And I would look at the black creature standing at the door and then I woke up.

I went to visit her on my birthday, and when she saw me standing at the door, she pointed to the window where I stood in my dream. She started saying the exact same phrase over and over again, and I ran away from the room scared. She died later that night.

I have also had a dream of a woman that I met who was my girl friend, I had repeated dreams about her almost 10 years before I met her, and I knew her home in detail with out ever seeing it. I also dreamed a dream where I died, and I knew my exact age and the place where I died, and I had never visited that place until I moved to Georgia. Needless to say I try to stay far away from there as possible.

The most recent dream I had that was similar to all those dreams, was a dream saying that I would be married in 2 years. I have yet to meet this woman but I know exactly what she looks like, and I know that she cares very deeply for me. I have had other dreams but not as significant or worth mentioning right now.

As for dabbling in a Ouija board, I have never touched one. I have however done something that I believe stimulated my ability to see other things.

I was 13 years old and I had an older friend named Tony. Tony's grandfather was a demonologist, or so he had told me, and had recently died. Tony was turning 16 and he had invited me and two other friends to his house for a birthday party. His mom had ordered the pizza's and did the birthday stuff and left, she had a business trip to attend to and it was usual to leave him home alone.

We played some video games watched some TV, and then Tony got the idea to dig through his grandfathers stuff. So, a little unwillingly I went along with it, because the other guys were there and they were all a year or so older than me. The entire time that we sat there looking through the things (crystals, journals, books and such) Tony kept saying "There is a 1% chance that one of us might die instantly." And of course none of us wanted to look scared so we just went along with it.

He lit a few candles and made a couple symbols with some materials his grandfather had, and put a crystal in the center of the materials. He said it was some sort of incantation to summon something to appear. Well we sat there and he read stuff out of the book, and nothing happened. We all just kind of laughed and shrugged put the stuff away and went about eating, drinking, and having a good time. About 10 minutes later we start to notice that the rocking horse in the corner of the room was seemingly watching us. It looked like the eye would follow us around the room, so we threw a blanket over it and shrugged it off. Then to get our minds off the whole thing, Tony suggested that we spar. We were all in the same karate class together so he thought it would be fun.

Tony and Manny went first, and they started out juts kind of jokingly sparing, and then Manny knocked Tony's glasses to the floor. At this point me and my other friend saw Tony's eyes light up, and he kicked Manny about 5 feet across the room into a closet, and proceeded to run after him with the intent to hit him some more. Carl and myself jumped on Tony and held him down until a few moments later he passed out. He woke up not knowing what happened, and Manny was laying unconscious through the closet door.

We went to check on Manny and after a couple minutes got him to wake up. Manny was a very big guy and much bigger than Tony, the strength to knock him that far was very amazing. We kind of laughed a bit and sat down to watch some TV. The TV is one of the older kind with a dial, and no remote, and every time we would turn it on and sit down it would turn itself back off. It was at this point Tony started to tell us he though something got loose. We were all starting to get a bit scared by the prospect of an unnatural being amongst us, and none of us would go anywhere with out a buddy.

I really had to use the rest room but, it was on the other side of the house and I REALLY didn't want to go by myself. So Tony went with me, and when walking to the bathroom, I noticed the microwave read 12:39. I continued on did my business and when walking back I looked at the time again and now it said 2:58. I rubbed my eyes and looked at Tony and pointed to the clock, we stared at it for about a minute or so and then it read "hEll" It freaked us both out and we went running back to the room where the other two were, and we just sat there together for a while, and Tony started to read through some of the books while the three of us sat and watched him. At this point I was getting very scared.

We had decided that it was creepy to stay in the same room, and decided we would go sit in the kitchen by the patio. The kitchen over looked the patio and his house had a huge back yard about 2 acres or so. The only thing that we could see out at night was a solitary tree. I remember staring at it for a while, as the other three kept talking about what to do. I noticed what looked like a man out by the tree and poked Tony and pointed out to the tree. He saw the man and told us that none of his neighbors ever came out to their property this late at night. So we looked on as the man approached the tree. He stood by the tree for about 4 or 5 minutes then turned towards the house and broke into a dead sprint. All I could remember seeing is this crazy looking man running straight for the house and screaming at the top of his lungs, it sent shivers up my spine. It was almost like nails on a chalk board. He grew closer and closer to the house before he finally slammed into the glass window patio door and then vanished.

All of us had backed up to the far end of the kitchen as far away from the door as possible. It was starting to get really early in the morning and Tony told us if we could just last out until the sun came up, that we would be ok. So we sat up in his bedroom all four of us huddled in a corner waiting on what ever was next to come at us. Surprisingly nothing else had appeared or happened. We all waited the rest of the day to go home, and wished him well. A few weeks later I ended up moving quite far away from my friends, and I have not seen or heard from them since.

But I noticed that after that day, I could sense energies off of people (some of the worst energies I have felt have come from small children). I also seemed to attract more spiritual attention and things I suppose followed me for a while.

Sorry for ranting on for so long, but I think that is the only thing I could possibly think of that would be close to playing with a Ouija board. If you would like I can tell you some more about the house I lived in where I saw the shadow creatures (or what ever they are).

Thanks for listening.

You're not ranting. You're telling your story. And it is a fascinating one.
I can't really say I have special abilities, only that I see ghosts when other people don't. The house I grew up in, as I mentioned earlier, was extremely active, and I saw many ghosts, shadows, and sick feelings of dread, like I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. My mother saw the shadow figure that I mentioned earlier, and she is a skeptic. She and I were talking the other day, and she says that incident still sticks out clearly in her mind, and she does believe she saw one of these Shadow Figures.

I had a little girl ghost attatch herself to me almost immediately when we moved in to that house. She was always such a sad little girl, and she was dressed in pioneer homespun clothing. She had dark, curly hair and sort of a grey complexion. She didn't look scary though, and I never felt uncomfortable, just sad. It seemed like she was lost. I know a lot of people (including my parents) would say that it was an "imaginary friend". But most imaginary friends grow up with you until you outgrow them. This little girl never got older, and I saw her many times until I left the house for the last time when I was 15.

I only played with a Ouija board one time and I know it made things worse. I believe that you and your friends did open a door to something malevolent that night. We all do things when we are young and trying to find the answers to everything.

I don't have regular prophetic dreams, only once the night my grandfather died. He came and sat on my bed, told me "Cheerio", (he was from England) and then left. The next morning, my parents told me he had passed away. But I don't think prophetic dreaming is a gift I possess. Just the ability to see ghosts.

Thank you for not getting mad at me and Eyepriestess. She is such a dear, and we love to talk! But your post and your story are very interesting to me. Thanks so much for sharing.

Well, I dream quite frequently, and I tend to spend at least 10-15 minutes every day to remember my dreams and take them apart to see what I can learn. I have considered them both a gift and a curse, I get really nervous when I have dreams about other people.

In the house that I had the experience with the shadow creatures, I had a young boy who would knock on my door every Saturday morning. The boy had died on the corner of that street a few months prior to the homes being built. I never saw him, but I could feel him wandering about and Saturday morning at 6am 9am and 11am I would hear three knocks on my door. I would run towards the door to open it and nothing would ever be there. I tried leaving my door open a few times, but I always found the door to be closed in the morning. I never felt threatened by him but I was sure that it was the little boys spirit wandering around our home.

[scarygirl67]

I think it is a gift. Like any gift, I believe you should embrace it. I know that when you see things that other people don't, it's a lonely feeling. I hope that you keep posting your experiences, as there are so many people on here who will relate to your story. Unfortunately, the hour is late, and I must retire. Catch a few zzzzzzzz's before it gets light out. I'm sure I'll talk to you later!

Ooops yes, sorry about that CSam
