Shadow people

Who are the Shadow People?

I find this subject fascinating, though I am sure I wouldn't be so intrigued if I saw one myself!!!

As long as there have been stories of paranormal hauntings and ghostly phenomena, there have been sightings of "Shadow People". Shadow People (also known as shadow men, shadow folk, or shadow beings) are defined by their featureless, shadow-like appearances.

According to folklore, they appear as dark forms in the peripheries of people's vision and prefer to watch people unseen, disintegrating or moving between walls, when noticed.Sightings of Shadow People are often associated with feelings of dread, intense fear or panic and instances of paralysis have been ascribed to the experience by some witnesses.

They are nearly always a manly shape, large and with a broad silhouette and perhaps the strangest thing about them, is that they are usually seen wearing a hat of some sort. In some instances there are red eyes that seem to pierce right through you.

Reports of Shadow People sightings differ in a number of ways from normal ghost sightings. Shadow People are often reported as having no discernible features such as mouths, noses, or eyes. They are rarely ever reported as trying to communicate with the living.

Witnesses also do not report the same feelings of being in the presence of something that 'was once human'. Shadow Beings are also said to move extremely fast and travel through solid matter.
