Shadow People: the truth behind the myth

Shadow People: the truth behind the myth.

What do we mean when we talk about Shadow People? Basically those sinister and dark creatures associated with nightmares, nocturnal visitors, incubi, succubi and other non-human beings from the astral plane.

As a general rule, the Shadow People (Shadow People) appear as figures of solid, impenetrable black, darker than darkness itself. Most prefer to assume a masculine silhouette and wear long coats and hats. Its height is prodigious, up to two meters tall. They have density, since they are capable of interrupting the course of light and blocking objects.

The Shadow People rarely tries to communicate; However, many are interested in human beings.

Let’s first review some categories that differentiate the different types of Shadow People:

Bedroom Watchers
They are usually discovered standing in front of the bed, staring at whoever sleeps there, or located in some dark corner of the room.

In general everything ends there. They only observe, although in fact it is impossible to verify it since they lack features. Although their mere presence is capable of instilling a deep, almost atavistic horror, they do not usually adopt a threatening attitude.

They can remain there for long periods of time. When they are observed by the person, who almost always wakes up abruptly, they suddenly disappear, merging with the surrounding blackness.

They are rarely aggressive, but when they are they can instill real spasms of terror.

Shadows On Walls
These figures suddenly appear as human silhouettes silhouetted against the walls. Of course, no light shines on them, and they can move independently along the walls.

They don’t usually show too much interest in humans. They are only perceived as a fleeting, almost imperceptible shadow that rarely leaves certainties.

Moving Shadows
These figures appear abruptly and move at remarkable speed. They emerge from the walls, traversing rooms, only to melt away in some opposite corner. They rarely pay attention to human beings, unless they are stared at.

In those cases they hide themselves in the darkest corners and from there they look back at us. In certain cases it is possible to detect the dull shine of their eyes.

Background Visitors
These beings are rarely detected by the human eye. They are usually captured by cameras as dense blocks of blackness floating in the background of the image.

Having concluded this brief review, it is logical to ask ourselves what are the Shadow People.

In principle, they would have to be ruled out as disembodied spirits, souls in pain, or simply ghosts. They are neither demons, nor vampires, much less angels or fairies. They are not necessarily tied to any physical location, for example, as certain ghosts join haunted houses.

The Shadow People It has mobility, which allows us to deduce that they have some degree of autonomy. In fact, there are recorded cases of Shadow People that follows the same person in several different homes, even in places that are really far from each other.

Despite its notoriety, it is practically impossible to ambush the Shadow People, that is, seeing them voluntarily. Most of the time they are surprised by people who wake up in the middle of the nightmare; However, some ghost hunters maintain that our eyes are perfectly capable of detecting them, just rarely directly.

When we stare at something, for example, when we read a book, it is possible that in the corner of our eye we detect a furtive shadow that speeds past us. When we turn our head there is nothing, however, we could swear that the shadow really existed.

But there may be no satisfactory explanation for the Shadow People. No type of place attracts them, nor do they have a special predilection for haunted places. In a way, it seems that they circumstantially cross our plane, sometimes showing interest in us and other times indifferent.

Why are some people monitored by the police? Shadow People?

It is impossible to know. We can only speculate that they monitor our mental processes, perhaps taking an interest in our dreams and emotions.

However, not always the Shadow People behaves in a contemplative manner. Some people have experienced horrible sensations of paralysis, suffocation and suffocation in its presence.

For many, the Shadow People It is just a fraction of what our senses are able to perceive about interdimensional beings that cross our plane following some purpose that escapes us. This explains why they sometimes seem interested, but really nothing about the nature of their attacks.

Another speculation, based on the circumstances in which they are detected, maintains that it is our own consciousness that allows them access to our plane. The Shadow People It only appears during the sleep phases or under a deep state of concentration, as we said before, reading a book.

Let us remember that, although it is not frequent, many dreams simultaneously cross the etheric, astral and mental plane.

Also its silhouette, dark and elongated, could be a type of figure that Shadow People deliberately assumes; or perhaps the only effective way to manifest on the physical plane.

If we take as reference the emotions they radiate, the Shadow People It almost always induces a kind of atavistic horror; That is, a very intense type of fear, almost spinal, as if our body were capable of detecting them long before our senses come into action.

Perhaps it is this ancestral alarm that wakes us up in the middle of a nightmare to warn us that we are not alone in the darkness of our room. It is not uncommon for beings from the astral plane to join us during out-of-body experiences or lucid dreams.

Now, when we analyze the cases of appearances of Shadow People In general we see that people who have seen them tend to associate them with different mental states and rather turbulent emotions. Feelings such as anger, loneliness and sadness usually facilitate their appearances.

In this context, the Shadow People It would be associated with Thought Forms, that is, larvae, worms and parasites of the lower astral formed specifically from an idea or a primordial impulse.

Other people, on the other hand, seem physically more open to seeing the Shadow People more frequently and defined than the rest. Be that as it may, we have all at some point harbored doubts about some suspicious shadow that insists on appearing in our room.
